Daring Ukrainian covert mission sparks flames at Chelyabinsk airfield in Russia

The Su-34 is a Soviet and Russian multifunctional frontline supersonic fighter-bomber designed to attack enemy targets in operational and tactical depth, concentrating efforts at a distance of 150-600 km from the front line under strong air defense resistance. It employs modern electronic warfare means and is capable of engaging air targets day and night, in simple and complex meteorological conditions. Classified as a 4++ generation aircraft, the Su-34 is capable of performing primary combat tasks independently, engaging in maneuverable air combat with enemy fighters on an equal footing thanks to its high combat qualities, allowing it to operate without fighter cover.
