That is probably why then we have hard time to have the SU-24 to engage.
But yes, it should have as well AS-9, AS-11, AS-13 and AS-18
Again depending which country that this SU-24 is coming from

Yeah... I checked in Jane's and it was actually a little more conservative, 6-8km. Bummer.
I would prefer to not constrain aircraft loadouts to countries too strongly, because it opens up the possibilities for "what if?" scenarios. Also, transfers of arms and technologies occur all the time, so the information that the decision to allow one country a weapon on its SU-24s and not anothers can quickly become obsolete.
