SU-34 in the Ukraine war: Fighter jets play a central role for Russia
The industry magazine also writes that production of the Su-34 should be increased Military Watch Magazine. The reason for this is that the fighter aircraft is playing an increasingly central role in the fights with Ukrainian units. “You can see footage again and again that shows fighter jets intensively bombing Ukrainian and allied Western forces in Russia’s Kursk region. Since the targets in this area are much less protected by air defense systems compared to the front lines in the disputed Donbass regions, Russian aircraft were able to carry out their air strikes with greater intensity. This would result in extreme casualties among Ukrainian and allied forces, the report said.
The also reported similar successes TASS. “The crew of the Su-34 multifunctional supersonic fighter-bomber of the Air Force hit personnel and a base of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the border area of the Kursk region. After receiving intelligence confirmation about the destruction of personnel and a stronghold of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the crew safely returned to the departure airfield,” the Russian news agency said on Sunday (October 6, 2024).
