That's why F-111 is still in service and Su-24 has been long-retired.
Oh, wait a minute...

You do realize the F-111 is still in service...

Nope. F-111 and all the variants were retired thanks to Dick Cheney
after Desert Storm.

Aussies may have some, but they would be the only nation still flying
them.

I worked on the DFCS program, Digital Flight Control System was to
upgrade the F-111 to digital system. Did a ton of flights, AF didn't
buy it, RAAF wasn't interested. System worked, but no buyers.

F-111 was retired soon after that.

There were no replacements for a medium range strategic bomber, which
is what it was.

And so it goes...
