REAL-LIFE BIO: The two-seat Su-32 (Su-34) fighter-bomber is designed for tactical deployment against air, ground and naval targets (including small and mobile targets) on solo and group missions in daytime and at night, under favourable and adverse weather conditions and in a hostile environment with counter-fire and EW counter-measures deployed, as well as for air reconnaissance. It will replace the Su-24 "Fencer" in the Fighter-Bomber role.

The SU-32 side by side cockpit configuration is an important pat of the design. It makes the crew more comfortable: the cockpit overhead space behind the seats allows the pilot to stand up, with the crew boarding the plane using an inbuilt ladder through the bay in the nosewheel landing gear unit and the service hatch in the back wall of the cockpit. The main distinctive features of the fighter-bomber are: - large ordnance load and a broad line-up of guided air-launched weapons, - high load capabilities engineered through reinforced design of the airframe and landing gear, and increased fuel tankage. - probe-and-drogue flight refuelling capability, - improved damage control (cockpit and essential systems armoured, explosion safety improved by engineering protection and filling the fuel tanks with PU-foam), - advanced avionics line-up, including multi-purpose PAA radar, onboard optical search and track station and an integrated defensive aids suite, - a state-of-the-art HUD system incorporating multi-role indicators with push-button panels. - a small toilet, simple kitchen, and a crew rest bunk.
