First deliveries Su-7BMK were in the middle of 1966. They participated in war with Israel, the truth not successfully - from 64 planes 27 has been destroyed on the earth in the first day of war on Jule, 5th, 1967.
After that the USSR has put many these planes for Egypt (it is not specified how much precisely). With assistance of the West German firm, the Egyptian planes have been modernised and on them have established in addition 2 hardpoints. Exact date it is not informed, but it is possible to assume what is it has occurred in the end of 1967 or in the beginning to the middle of 1968 since in 1969 of the USSR also built planes with the same quantity hardpoints.

Another question on the SU-17/SU-20 series. I have seen diagrams showing that pylons capable of carrying three
FAB-100 could be installed on the hardpoints. Was the same possible with pylons carrying two FAB-250? Or only one of these 250kg weapons could be carried on each hardpoint?

In article on this page
http://www.airwar.ru/history/locwar/...su17/su17.html
It is written that on planes Su-17 6 locks holders for bombs i.e. on 1 hardpoint=6 bombs of calibre from 50-100 kg could to be established. But also it is written that in the conditions of strong heat and a hilly terrain by these planes they were not applied since these planes bore 2 more fuel tanks on 800 litres.
Unfortunately about 250 kg of a bomb and this plane Su-17 I have not found exact data, but it is possible to assume the following: there were 4 locks holders of bombs for 50-250 kg of bombs and 2 locks holders for 500 kg of bombs. Judging by load-carrying capacity Su-17 it would be possible assume that it could to bear 4 or more 250 kg of a bomb.
