Citat:Orion was originally designed for the Su-7. Operating at 8mm wavelength(?), Orion was unfortunately far too large (antenna is 1.4m across) for the Su-7 nosecone, so it was hoped to carry it in an external pod. The radar was too heavy, however, and the plans were abandoned. The radar design eventually found its home on the much larger Su-24. Using a conventional parabolic antenna, it has a maximum range of 150 km, and could detect and track large targets with significant radar contrast with the ground. It could be used for blind bombing only against big area targets, such as railway stations, large command posts, etc. A slightly improved version, Orion-A, was fitted to the Su-24M.
