The Ukrainian Air Force reported the downing of another Russian military aircraft. Preliminary estimates indicate it was a Su-34, one of the Russian Army's key frontline bombers. It is still unknown where on the front line the aircraft was hit or under what circumstances. "Another Russian air terrorist was destroyed today," the statement noted.
The Su-34 is important for Russia because these aircraft are actively used in strikes against Ukrainian positions and frontline cities. It is a two-seat fighter-bomber designed to engage ground targets, fortifications, warehouses, bridges, and troop positions. It can carry a wide range of air-to-air weapons, including guided bombs. For the Russian army, the Su-34 is especially valuable due to its role in the use of glide bombs. Such munitions allow the aircraft to attack Ukrainian positions from a distance, without entering deep into the range of some air defense systems. This is why the loss of each such aircraft is painful: Russia loses not only an expensive aircraft, but also a crew whose training takes years. The Su-34 is considered one of the most expensive and complex aircraft in Russian frontline aviation. It has a long range, a powerful payload, and is used as a pressure tool on the front lines. Its destruction reduces Russia's ability to carry out massive air strikes and exacerbates the problem of a shortage of experienced crews. If the information is confirmed, this will be another sensitive blow to Russian aviation.
While Russian President Putin continues to paint a picture of inevitable victory, Moscow hasn’t accomplished one of its strategic goals since the start of this “special military operation.” Russia has lost an estimated 250 to 400 aircraft over Ukraine, including Su-25 attack jets, Su-34 strike fighters, and — most painfully — Tu-95 and Tu-22 strategic bombers it can no longer build.
-The most dramatic blow came in Operation Spiderweb, when Ukraine smuggled explosive FPV drones into Russia on trucks and destroyed more than a dozen parked aircraft, Russia’s worst air loss since World War II.
Russia has lost a significant number of tactical aircraft, in particular Su-25 attack jets and Su-34 strike fighters. The Su-25 proved particularly vulnerable during the early weeks and months of the war, thanks to its typical deployment close to the front line, within range of Ukrainian MANPADS and short-range air defenses. The Su-34 fleet has suffered attrition thanks to its role as the backbone of the Russian aerial strike campaign.
Open-source tallies place Su-34 losses at around 35-40 aircraft, which is not an insignificant figure for a relatively small fleet.
But overall, aircraft losses have been lower than what could have otherwise been expected — and indeed lower than some watchers of the war in Ukraine predicted.
Though Russia’s learning curve was quite steep, Russian aircraft avoided the kinds of penetration missions deep within Ukrainian territory that they attempted during the opening stages of the full-scale invasion. Instead, Russia’s strategy shifted to launching glide bombs, cruise missiles, and other stand-off weapons from relatively safe distances within Russia itself.
