Exactly the same, navigation computer unit, model M, program 2204.

Most likely CWU-M(2204), because this unit is typical for WP export aircrafts.

Not....theoretically, all variants with RP-21M radar can use Kh-66 missile. So, MiG-21PFM, modernized PF, M, MF. Another thing: Kh-66 never had name Grom, even Kh-23 didn't had that name. Yugoslav variant of Kh-23 produced under Soviet licence had name Grom.....

Yes, for Czechoslovakia....

Not really... You mistaken few thing here. Poland during signing a contract for SU-22M4 delivery didn't intended use of those aircrafts as a recce platforms. Situation changed after withdrawal from service Su-20R, Air Force decided to modify 7 aircrafts to use recce pods (bort numbers 3508, 3306, 8205, 3304, 9615, 3816, 3920). Here was a problem, Poland had KKR-1, the oldest variant of this recce pods family, originally intended for Su-17M2 aircrafts. Su-22M4 had originally only KKR-1TE-54 pod(Soviet aircrafts were able to carry at least 7 variants of KKR pods) which was different in few details from old KKR-1. In order to use those old pods on the Su-22M4 was needed to do some modifications, pod's power/communication cables need to be connect a bit different way compare to KKR-1TE-54, new cable connection fairing need to be done and new type of control panel in a cockpit (Poland didn't had them at all). All mods were done locally in a service workshops. All serial Su-22M4 were ready to hung original KKR-1TE-54 pod, here on the photo lugs (green circle) for pod suspending and cable connector door (red circle), you can clearly read "KKR" description, photo shows underbelly of a aircraft bort number 3216 which never carried KKR pod during service in PolAF: Here photo of the same part of aircraft number 3620:

Quote from tire-strut suspension model development report: "As an example of the model’s accuracy, the main wheel of the Mi-38 (a variant of the Mi-8) was taken as a reference." Mi-38 a variant of Mi-8?. Are you serious guys?. This level of accuracy reveals a complete lack of accuracy.....

Photoshop, this is Romanian Air Force MiG-29A, serial number 2960535404. Those aircrafts are still rotting over there, you can check on the Google Earth. https://www.google.pl/maps/place/Mihail+Kog%C4%83lniceanu,+Rumunia/@44.3574172,28.478535,2669m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x40ba8a30a9018359:0xee3fc8b301356e39!8m2!3d44.3701439!4d28.4652673!16s%2Fm%2F02861x5?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MTIxMS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D

That's ok, please keep in mind, that my intention wasn't lecture you. Yes, you right, kind of mental shortcut.

Like I written before, HuAF were called those aircrafts officially MiG-29B, do you think they were doing this for joke? Here official page of Hungarian Armed Forces: https://honvedelem.hu/hatter/multidezo/in-memoriam-racz-zsolt.html Repulomuzeum Szolnok, official HuAF museum (in the middle of the page): https://www.repulomuzeum.hu/Tikuldtetek/BartaEndre/BE_katasztr/BE_katasztr.htm For me this is enough evidence. About IFF, Hungarian aircrafts have oridinary old SRZO-2M system what is typical for this export variant (MiG-29B), original Warsaw Pact MiG-29A aircrafts have mix of Parol/SRO-2 systems, similar to early Soviet MiG-29's. This is easy to recognize: beside KOLS sensor you have triple SRO-2 antenna, under fuselage between A-037 radalt antennas you have triangle orange (or very rare green) Parol system antenna.

Hungarian Wikipedia: https://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magyar_Légierő Hungarian air shows always describes those aircrafts as a 29B: Photo portals described them as a 29B aswell: https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/11160372 https://www.airliners.net/photo/Hungary-Air-Force/Mikoyan-Gurevich-MiG-29B/5250897/L?qsp=eJxtjbEOwjAMRP/FcxbUFoVsdGGEgR%2BwHAORShvZHlpV/XdCKjGxnd473a1A02g8233JDAGUUegFDjIKvhXCCpiEBB/Woybaa953nfuJC48s/xWEpvXtyYFOYv1SDiIan4k4G0fY%2BVUiy1exUn1%2Blp1DCSy3mqE5Fh6T5gHrBhumAbbtA/fsPro%3D https://www.planephotos.net/photo/18859/Mikoyan-Gurevich-MiG-29B_18/....

Well, Hungarian Air Force called them MiG-29B (9.12B).....Yefim Gordon, although great publisher, made many small mistakes in his books.

Hungarian aircrafts were 9.12B model.

You right, search antennas block unit spins with a speed of 80 revolutions per minute, this gives 360 degrees swept every 0.75 seconds ( 60:80=.75 ). Of course when the target is on the radar level, return signal is given by both antennas and then the position of the target symbol on the screen should be refreshed every 0.35 sec. My mistake.

Su-17/22M4 was fully multitasking variant, there is no specified versions like M4R or M4P, aircrafts were wired for all equipment, only depending on tasks, pod with recce or SEAD equipment can be hang under fuselage or wings and some panels inside cockpit need to be changed. Here we go, photo of Soviet and East German aircrafts with KKR pod, under front part of fuselage you can see (red arrow) antennas which were used for programming SEAD missile's guindance head before launch. Of course aircraft cannot use KKR pod and SEAD pod at the same time. Su-17M4 from first serial aircraft was able use TV guided weapon and had TV monitor fiited in the cockpit, export Su-22M4 had simmilar capability from 30th production series, before that in place of monitor was mounted a dummy panel. Warsaw Pact countries were training nuclear attack very often with use of IAB-500 imitation bomb. 17/22M4 never carried RN-24 nuke, only RN-28 on the beginning and after her withdrawn from use in mid 80's there were RN-40 and RN-42. Every Su-22M4 was able drop a nuclear bomb, place of service wasn't important, aircraft had weapon computer with several modes, toss mode can be used for any type of free fall bombs not only nuclear one, everything what is needed is a input of ballistic values into computer memory. Only special type of equipment required for A bomb were special "nuclear" BD3-56FHM pylons, rest of weapon system is standard for all types of bombs.

Don't be offended only because MiG-17F didn't had R-3S missiles. This is still great aircraft, just achieve good result will be a bit harder, more training, more tacticts, more thinking. Source of my knowledge? Books, manuals, photographs and ability to critical thinking. We living in times were you can find a lot of content on the internet but unfortunately many of those is just a rubbish. If you cannot find info confirmation in the form of photo evidence, that means most likely info is fake. You don't have to trust me, you can dig on your own. Long story short, I have not seen any manual which says about missiles, no russian/english language book mention about that, there is no photo which are able prove that. Only exception are those few Cuban MiG-17 sans suffixe.
