Su-34 Fullback

The two-seat Su-32 (Su-34) (NATO reporting name "Fullback") 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 favorable 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 part 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.
