The 733rd regiment was the third regiment that flew with Su-24 Fencer-A and the first regiment in Asia to receive the SU-24 tactical bomber type. The three squadrons of IL-28 Beagle was replaced by two squadrons of modern Su-24 Fencer-A in 1975. They received the first eight Fencer-A bomber from the 63rd Tactical Bomber Air Regiment starting from May 1975. Among them the 34 and 35 was a pre-production aircraft. For technical reasons they only flew a little. The 35 was previously overloaded with massive weaponry, and it also had structural flaws. The 67 had fuel leakage, if the landing gear was pulled up. They could not fixt his problem at the regiment.
