Our Su-34 was shot down. The crew died. The plane was shot down during the Dumping of the FAB from the UMPC, about 50 km from the front line. Our Su-34 was shot down by an apparently F-16, which was above the territory controlled by the enemy.
Soon there will be more such losses. NATO launched the F-16 for hunting.
Now there will be fewer FABs on Khokhlas. Consequently, the losses of our infantry will increase.
Here's my analysis:
Most likely an Aim-120 shoot down.
Aim-120 max range (R-Max 1) shot is about 120 km.
The F-16 could take the shot and never get in range of RU mobile SAMs.
This would indicate the ruzzians have no S-300s or S-400s in this area of the front.
There were no friendly aircraft in the area. The F-16 pilot probably had a free-fire clearance on any airborne target.
The Su-34 crew never knew they were under attack.
The Su-34 Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) did not detect the F-16s radar.
Possibly, the Su-34 has no ECM capability against the Ukrainian F-16s or the Aim-120.
Previously, RU over-the-horizon radars have been destroyed.
Also, recently, several RU long-range radars have been taken out, so the Su-34 never got any warning from their ground controllers of the F-16 attack.
Soon there will be more such losses.
Hopefully, many more.

Seems that Russia is unable to strike the F-16s in their Ukrainian bases, the number of F-16s and pilots is increasing, and that a new, but very predictable phase or the air war has begun.
Many more F-16s on the way to Ukraine, as well as the recently announced new package of Mirage jets from France. They will be a powerful addition to NATO.
