In regular (potentially effective) ops Syria (Su-22M2), Yemen (Su-22M2), Libya (Su-22M3), NKorea (could be M2, but don’t know), Vietnam (Su-22M3+4). Each still flies three or four dozen of the Fitters, only Vietnam still seems to fly around 100.
Then there is Angola with a handful of Su-22M4 remaining, and I think Bulgaria has two as trainers. Azerbaijan is a questionmark, they might still fly two or so trainers.
Sorry i have to step in and say that theres no such thing as a Su-22M2, in all probabaility this is how some western writers call the Su-22 sans suffixe ( call is Su-22A if you like …), which is the export version of the Su-17M2 with an R-29 engine …
Su-22M3 is also somewhat incorrect , the real 22M3 is basically and export version of the Su-17M3, distinguishable by the dedicated R-60 pylon in the middle of the fixed wing section,but with R-29 engine, Hungary clearly had them, not sure about other countries tho …Lybia and the likes have the Su-22M , which is a downgraded export version of the Su-17M3 , lacking the dedicted R-60 pylons and haveing an R-29 engine …
Trainers are Su-22U and S-22UM respectively …
Hope this help , thanks.
Oh , and theres no such thing as a Su-20M , either …
