It’s a Sukhoi Su-20 R Fitter C, currently residing in Broniszew, gmina Promna near the S7 highway. It’s one of two dozen which were used by Polish air force, the last of them was decommissioned in the late 90s ( https://polot.net/en/suchoj-su-20-nb-6256-2022-1472 ). This one now serves as an advertisement of a nearby bar/motel apparently.
I loved SU-20’s since I was a little kid. And they’re still plenty as monuments in the most unexpected places.
Our air forces often flew training patterns over my house from their base in Dęblin.
One of them almost gave me a trauma by performing a full throttle flyby maybe 20 meters over the roof of our house, which made things that much difficult for my older brother who had to keep an eye on me for our parents who went shopping.
I will never forget this.
There are a few of these in Poland, actually
You never know when its needed
There’s one gas station like this in Wrocław along a shitty road lol.
You could buy them cheap from AMW (Agencja Mienia Wojskowego) with dismounted avionics, radar, engine and any mechanical parts (still to be used for parts for remaining in service). If I recall you would also get them shipped to you and unloaded. Also I recall a lot of such planes in cities in squares in estate neighbourhoods ( I recall 2 from my childhood 1x Mig21 Bis and one Lim or Mig17).
