The United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) has delivered a new batch of Su-34 fighter-bombers to the Russian military as part of its production program for this year.
The aircraft underwent comprehensive ground and flight tests before being handed over to operational units, ensuring they meet the rigorous standards required for deployment.
“Our defense industry enterprises are sustaining the necessary production pace to fulfill the state defense order,” said a UAC spokesperson. “We are also implementing new technologies and refining processes at our manufacturing facilities to increase production capabilities.”
The Su-34 is regarded as one of the most advanced aircraft in the Russian Aerospace Forces, designed for a range of missions including the destruction of ground and naval targets, reconnaissance operations, and the suppression of enemy air defenses. Its versatility and capabilities make it a critical asset for Russia’s military in modern warfare scenarios.
With its blend of precision strike capabilities and advanced avionics, the Su-34 plays a pivotal role in Russia’s invasion to Ukraine. The aircraft’s ability to carry a variety of weaponry, coupled with its long-range operational capacity, allows it to perform in diverse combat environments, from high-intensity air engagements to deep-strike missions against strategic targets.
The introduction of these new Su-34 aircraft is expected to bolster the capabilities of Russia’s tactical aviation units, providing them with improved tools for executing complex missions in challenging environments.
