Condolences to the crew and their family.
Two years in a row? How does a training mine almost sink a flagship?
What the heck is going on over there? Putin siding with world terrorists, but fighting his own, and a military that seems incompetent.
Man, Russia needs help. When is Putin due to leave office? The world can't afford to have Russia slip back into old ways.

This is kinda sad. They have a whole year to prep for this event. Given that Russia's not involved in a naval war with anyone, this is really the only time the navy's tested. And they keep on dropping the ball.

Su-24M
The Su-24M entered service in 1983 and is a development of the Su-24, known by the NATO codename 'Fencer'.

Su-34 (Su-27IB) Fullback
The Strike Flanker was in competition with the Su-30 to replace the Su-24 and was successful due to the potential of growth of the avionics, since it had twice the space in relation to the other airplanes of the Flanker family. Su-34 (Su-27IB - Istrebitel-Bombardirovshchik) is a two seat ("arm-to-arm") strike variant that first flew in 1990.

I always liked the lines of the Su-24.
