Product Description
This is a detailed photo collection focusing on the aircraft equipped at the 32nd Tactical Air Base, Námiešć nad Oslavów in the Czech Republic, which was operational from 1994 to 2003, including the Su-22 Fitter and Su-25 Frogfoot.
Since 1994, the Czech Republic Air Force has operated Tactical Air Base No. 32 at Námiešć nad Oslavóv Air Base, deploying air-to-ground attack units primarily consisting of Sukhoi Su-22M4/UM3 Fitter fighter-bombers and Sukhoi Su-25K/UBK Frogfoot ground attack aircraft.
Following its participation in NATO and other initiatives, the US military ended operations of the Su-25 in 2000 and the Su-22 in 2002, and in 2003, Tactical Air Base 32 was disbanded.
Based on over 350 color photographs, this book features valuable images of the Su-22M4 Fitter K and Su-22UM3 Fitter G variable-sweep wing fighter-bombers deployed at the base at the time, as well as the Su-25K and Su-25UBK Frogfoot, the most powerful ground attack aircraft of the Eastern Bloc at the time. The images depict the aircraft in operation, including maintenance and overhauls, work by support vehicles, and movement to shelter hangars.
The book provides detailed explanations of unit markings and aircraft numbers, and includes numerous photographs of a wide variety of weapons, such as missiles, rocket pods, ECM pods, reconnaissance camera pods, and fuel tanks.
In addition to the successor L-159 ALCA light attack aircraft, auxiliary aircraft such as the L-39ZA Albatros ground attack aircraft and L-29 Delphine trainer, and other aircraft of the Royal Air Force such as the MiG-21MF Fishbed J and MiG-23ML Flogger G that flew in from other bases, the book also includes photographs of the German Air Force's Tornado IDS, the Austrian Air Force's J35OE Draken, and the Royal Air Force's Harrier GR.7 taken at international air shows, friendly exchanges, and joint exercises.
This photo collection is recommended not only for researchers of Eastern European air force capabilities in the 1990s, but also for Russian military aircraft enthusiasts, air modelers, and diorama builders.
