(Russia)
Light monoplane bomber, a clean low-wing design which looked very promising. But when war broke out, the Su-2 suffered heavy losses. Replacing the M-88 engine with the more powerful M-82 did not help. Production was halted in 1942, in favour of the better Il-2 and Pe-2. They were later used as squadron hacks and in other secondary roles. Over 500 built.
