That's the reasonthey switched to the Su-17. Actually more often than not aircraft of this vintage (Mig-21/Su-7) would go in combat with a couple of UB-16 rocket pods, which were as effective in reality as they are in the game: very little.
Many of the comments I found about the 57mm rockets could not be reported in polite company. Yet they were used for lack of anything better.

Official Polish chart allows for a configuration 2x Kh-29 and 4 bombs 250-500 kg or 2 bombs and 2 drop tanks

Actually iraqi configuration was as follows:



Depiction of Su-22 armed with Kh-28 can be founf here but no mention of initial availability date:
