Russian aviation continues to lose its planes. On the morning of June 11, it became known that a Su-34 fighter had crashed in North Ossetia. The fate of the crew has already become known.

In Russia they reported that the plane crashed in the mountains. It crashed during a scheduled training flight.

The crew did not survive

The Russians claim that the Aerospace Forces plane crashed in a deserted area.

There is no destruction on the ground, they say.

There were two pilots on board the fighter during the flight. The Ministry of Defense of the aggressor country reported that the crew was killed.

The preliminary cause of the plane crash is also already known – a technical malfunction of the aircraft. A commission from the Russian Aerospace Forces flew to the site of the plane crash. They said that they saw how at about midnight an “unknown aircraft” hit a rock near the village of Gorny Dzuarikau.

What are the characteristics of the Su-34

The fighter was created back in Soviet times. It made its first flight in 1990. The Su-34 is a modification of the more famous Su-27. In 2014, Russia launched serial production of the Su-34, investing in it funds received from oil sales. The fighter can accommodate two pilots. It is equipped with a 30 mm GSh-301 caliber cannon and has 12 hardpoints. The bomber's combat load is 8,000 kilograms of various weapons on an external sling. The Su-34 is equipped with a powerful radar system. It can even distinguish tracked armored vehicles at a distance of up to 75 kilometers. One such aircraft costs approximately 36 million dollars.
