In recent weeks, Ukraine has destroyed 5 Su-34 fighter-bombers. For the Russians, this is a really significant loss. reserve colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, instructor pilot, military expert Roman Svitan, noting that the invaders have about a hundred new aircraft for each position. We are talking about Su-30, Su-34, Su-35. Therefore, such losses are quite noticeable for the invaders.

If Ukraine destroys even 1 Su-34 per month, then in a year this will already be more than 10% of the total number of these aircraft. Apparently, there are opportunities to knock them out. Both air defense forces and special services work here.

We can make surprises for the enemy. It is important that we manage to get these planes even far away in Russia. This indicates that our intelligence is working well,” said Svitan.

How many modern aircraft does Russia produce

As Svitan noted, Russia actually made its modern Su-30, Su-34 and Su-35 aircraft based on the Su-27. Now, according to various sources, the occupiers can produce no more than two dozen such aircraft per year. And Ukraine destroys just about that much during this period of time.

When the Air Force is armed with the F-16 with the appropriate weapons, the losses of Russian aviation will definitely increase. And they will be even more noticeable.

The main aircraft of the invaders is the Su-34. It is used as a bomber. There is quite a serious combat load going on there. Therefore, one of the main tasks is to destroy these sides. They are being hunted,” Svitan said.
