Gaijin Network Ltd has launched an in-game event for War Thunder commemorating the birthday of legendary aircraft designer Pavel Osipovich Sukhoi. From now until July 25, 2026, players can access a 30% discount on specific premium Soviet aviation vehicles.
Discounted Premium Aircraft
The sale focuses on the USSR aviation tree, specifically targeting premium-tier vehicles that reflect the design bureau's history. The following aircraft are currently available at a reduced price in Golden Eagles:
- Su-6 (Rank IV): 2,695 Golden Eagles
- Su-11 (Rank IV): 5,236 Golden Eagles
- Su-7BMK (Rank IV): 6,363 Golden Eagles
Of particular note for collectors is the Su-7BMK. Gaijin has confirmed that this export modification—based on the variant supplied to the Egyptian Air Force—is only available for purchase during this limited-time promotion.
Player Impact and Performance
For players looking to bolster their Soviet lineups, the sale offers a significant discount on high-rank assets. The Su-7BMK, in particular, maintains the high-speed characteristics of the standard Su-7B while offering expanded utility through additional hardpoints. Its armament includes two 30 mm cannons and a versatile payload capacity for rockets, incendiary tanks, and high-explosive bombs ranging from 250 kg to 500 kg.
This event coincides with other ongoing activities in War Thunder, including the 2026 “Scimitar Strike” event and the launch of Battle Pass Season 24, "Do It Yourself." Players have until 11:00 GMT on July 25 to finalize these premium purchases before the discounts and the availability of the Su-7BMK conclude.
