Looks like the Flanker but I could be wrong, I can't quite tell if
that is a single or double exhaust. Photo #10. I saw reports of Su-24s
in the area before but this is the first photo I've seen from this
fighting that looks like one.

Su-24 Fencer E. It is the dedicated recce variant.

Thank you both, I've looked several times at that picture and failed to
place it.

The nose on this one looks a bit longer than on the data in my book--is
that a difference in this variant from early ones?
