The American magazine spoke about the merits of the new Su-34M
Yesterday, the United Aircraft Corporation announced the transfer of another batch of the latest Su-34 bombers to the RF Ministry of Defense. All aircraft have passed ground and flight tests and are ready for combat missions. A press release from the UAC noted that the Russian Aerospace Forces received upgraded versions of the bombers.
The Su-34 has expanded combat capabilities that allow the use of advanced aviation weapons, which will increase the range of destruction of ground and surface targets, expand the conditions and accuracy of bombing
- the press center of the UAC reported the day before.
On the news from Russia, the American Military Watch Magazine also drew attention. He classifies the Su-34M as a strike fighter and emphasizes that this is the third batch of such aircraft over the past 10 months. As the main features, the publication notes the presence of new radars that increase awareness of the situation in the air and on the ground.
These magnificent aircraft were manufactured at the Chkalov Aviation Plant in Novosibirsk. The aircraft passed a complex of ground and flight tests and were delivered to the Russian Ministry of Defense. The Su-34 is the longest-range tactical aircraft in the world, its range is comparable to bombers of past generations
– admires the Russian MW aircraft.
The magazine notes that at the beginning of the special military operation, the Russian command used the Su-34 to strike with gravity bombs, which made the bomber vulnerable to Ukrainian air defense and led to the loss of these aircraft in the conflict zone.
However, the massive introduction of smart bombs in the RF Armed Forces, equipped with control and correction modules, increased the efficiency of the Su-34M. MW emphasizes that Russia is actively using these bombers not only in Ukraine. Su-34s are on combat duty in Syria and the Arctic, and they can not only bomb ground targets, but also conduct successful air combat using air-to-air missiles.
