Fighter planes are an important element of Russian warfare in Ukraine. Now Moscow has lost a fighter jet through an accident.
A fighter plane crashed in the Russian Wolgar region Nischni Novgorod. The SU-34 machine had an accident during a training flight, the Russian Ministry of Defense said.
Accordingly, the crew was unable to drive out the chassis on the approach. The team then flown the fighter jet in undeveloped area and catapulted itself out. Both pilots are alive. According to the ministry, there is no damage to the ground.
The Suchoi SU-34 is a modern two-seater hunting bomber. The Russian armed forces put him into service a little more than ten years ago. The SU-34 can shoot the marching aircraft and rockets and throw off sliding bombs. This makes it an important element of Russian warfare against Ukraine.
It was not until the end of last week that it became known that Ukraine managed to destroy two such fighter jets at a military airfield in the Volgograd region and to damage two more.
