According to foreign reports, Ukraine successfully shot down 3 Su-34 tactical bombers, which is a significant military achievement for the country and also demonstrates its strong military strength. Ukraine orchestrated the operation in response to Russia's frequent use of Su-34 tactical bombers to launch attacks on Ukrainian targets. The tactical bomber is significantly different from the strategic bomber in that it has a shorter flight range and carries a limited amount of ammunition, with a maximum bomb load of about 8 tons.
Although this aircraft does not possess stealth capabilities, its unique shape, such as two pilots sitting side by side, gives it a distinct character in the air. In addition, the Su-34 flies at an extremely fast speed of up to 1Mach 8. Prior to this, the Su-34 had launched hundreds of attacks on Ukrainian targets, but Ukraine had mastered the laws of its activity and successfully intercepted the aircraft. In the process, the United States provided Ukraine with Patriot missiles and gave relevant recommendations.
The Patriot missile adopts the method of continuous launch, which has a higher probability of hitting, and even if the target dodges one missile, it is difficult to dodge the subsequent attack. In one day, according to Ukraine, Russia actually lost three Su-34 tactical bombers. Ukraine is currently claiming that Russia's attack has weakened and believes that Russia will not dare to attack again. However, Russia is actually summing up the downing of these three planes in order to improve its offensive strategy.
In the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the way of fighting is changing, and it is unrealistic not to stop adopting this style of combat because of one or two mistakes.
