- The Sukhoi Su-2 (Russian: Сухой Су-2) was a Soviet scout and light bomber aircraft used in the early stages of World War II. It was the first airplane designed by Pavel Sukhoi. The basic design received an engine and armament upgrade (Su-4) and was modified for the ground attack role (ShB).
- Developed from the ANT-51, the Su-2 first flew - as the BB-1 - in April 1940. The wooden monocoque fuselage contained a bomb bay which could carry a max load of 600 kg, located directly under the two crew cockpit, and a Duralumim escape hatch under the space between the gunner's station and the tail. The main armament of the Su-2 consisted of four ShKAS machine guns located in the wings of the aircraft and a secondary ShKAS machine gun located in the ball turret for defense.

The wooden monocoque fuselage contained a bomb bay which could carry a max load of 600 kg, located directly under the two crew cockpit, and a Duralumim escape hatch under the space between the gunner's station and the tail. The main armament of the Su-2 consisted of four ShKAS machine guns located in the wings of the aircraft and a secondary ShKAS machine gun located in the ball turret for defense. The armor protection was generally around 9mm thick around the cockpit. Problems quickly arose with the hand cranked ball turret and its defensive capabilities. The wooden tail fin was supplemented by a two piece metal horizontal stabiliser. The two spar all metal cantilever wing was fitted in ling with the pilot's compartment, and had flush riveted outer panels to reduce drag. Power was provided by a M-88B 14 cylinder radial, driving a three bladed VISh-23 variable pitch propeller. By September 1941, the type was being built at the rate of five a day.
