Sukhoi SU-7BKL is a supersonic, single engine strike/attack fighter of all metal construction. The swept two-spar wing is swept 60 deg. at leading edge, has Fowler flaps and boosted ailerons. All controls are hydraulic. Each wing carries two prominent fences. The semi-monocoque fuselage is mainly of cylindrical shape, bulged coke bottle fashion at rear end according to area ruling principles. The air intake has an in-flight adjustable centre body with di-electric cone for radar rangefinder. The pressurised cockpit is equipped with the KS-4 ejection seat. The rear fuselage carries four petal-type airbrakes, controlled hydraulically. The vertical empendage has a 60 deg. sweep, the slab stabiliser having counterweight spikes at its tip. The hydraulically activated undercarriage has a forward-retracting nose wheel, the main wheels, retracting towards the fuselage centreline. The wheels are carried on trailing arms, the skids on arms with dampers. The power plant consists of the axial-flow Lyulka AL-7F-1 (TRD-31) turbo-jet of 66.48 kN dry thrust and 94.08 kN with reheat.

For shortening the take-off two JATO bottles SPRD 110- rated at 29.4 kN thrust are used. The SU-7BKL has powerful fixed armament - two 30 mm cannon NR-30 (70 rounds/gun). Two to six rocket pods, of 16 unguided 57 mm 55 rockets to each pod, unguided air to surface rocket, 1.000 kg of bombs etc, could be carried on the two fuselage and four underwing hard points. SU's can carry air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles.

The SU-7BKL can also fulfil the photo reconnaissance role.

Camouflage:

There is no standardized camouflage pattern or colors employed for the SU-7. Generally the camouflage follows the prevailing colors of the terrain of the theatre of operations. Every SU-7BKL is unique in its camouflage pattern and often the colours employed therein. Until the early seventies, majority of SU-7BKL's were in natural metal or silver (excluding the front-line countries). Nowadays the "silver" Sukhoi's are all but extinct and camouflaged machines dominate.
