Wings half swept, as they had them for the whole of their displays. The Su-22s are based at 7th Tactical Air Base Shiraz.

An Su-22 scale model in these stunning colours was on display at the indoor trade show, where we learned that the type was scheduled to take part in the flying display.

Up-side-down Fitter! Each day, two Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Air Force Su-22s performed a mock base attack at Kish during the opening of the show, days could be worse... Both aircraft operated out of nearby Bandar Abbas Intl but are normally based at Shiraz/Shahid Dastghaib Intl.

The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps Air Force is operating some ten Su-22s. These aircraft were fled from Iraq during the Gulf War, placed in storage in Iran for some 30 years and subsequently overhauled, and mid 2018 impounded bij the IRGCAF. Following the dual seat Fitter, is a single seat Su-22M-4 15-2472.
