"Why you were interested by these planes?"

I am reworking the iraqi OOB and I am checking planes weapons loads. For the early planes like
MIG-15bis/MIG-17F/MIG-19S etc it is relatively easy: they have 2-4 hardpoints which can carry a very limited selection of bombs/rockets. For some others I found some typical weapons loads (for example four FAB-250 for some MIG-21 variants).
Later things get more difficult: let's make an example of my problem.
The Su-7BMK is listed to have six hardpoints, each of which in theory can carry several types of weapons (ranging from FAB-250 to S-24 rockets).
In practice however four of those hardpoints are always used for fuel tanks. So the typical payload would be limited to something like two FAB-500 or two UB-16 rocket pods.
But more capable planes like the SU-20/22 or the MIG-23BN
can carry more and different types of weapons.
Would a SU-17M3/SU-22M typically carry two rockets pods + two RBK-500 + two FAB-250 rather than two RBK-250 + four FAB-250?
What did the soviet air force arm them with usually?
I wanted to know a few typical configurations for these planes and the MIG-23BN. I will see what I can get with the automatic trsnalation.
