Russian air-defense troops just shot down one of the most sophisticated warplanes involved in Russia’s wider war in Ukraine.
One problem. It was a Russian warplane. A brand-new Sukhoi Su-34M fighter-bomber.
Russian propagandist Yevgeny Poddubny apparently captured on video the Sunday shoot-down over the city of Alchevsk in Russian-occupied eastern Ukraine. “Last night, the air-defense crew of the allied forces destroyed a target in the sky over Alchevsk,” Poddubny wrote Monday. “The nature of the target is not clear. The burning ball fell to the ground for more than a minute.”
A video of the wreckage confirmed the plane’s identity: it’s an Su-34M with the registry RF-95890, one of just 10 or so Su-34Ms that Sukhoi so far has delivered to the Russian air force.
...The first Su-34M unit, the 277th Bomber Aviation Regiment, became operational earlier this month.
Russian state media has confirmed that part of the 277th has staged near Ukraine.

Hmm.. Wondering what that means for inflation?

I would that Russia get out of Ukraine. But as long as Russia is occupying Ukrainian territory, may they be their own worst enemy.
Oops

To paraphrase one of my guiding principles, “Never have anything for a pet, girlfriend, [or fighter-bomber] whose ass you cannot kick in an emergency.”
So the Russian’s ground to air defenses are greater than their air to ground offenses?
the ukranians should hire whoever it was that shot the plane down to help them fight
LOL! I am borrowing that.
They certainly can build gorgeous jets and ships.
Operating them in a thoughtful way though.....
July 16th ? Can’t come up with new globalist spam ?
Yes, previously posted here on FR. “Just shot down” makes you think that this is a second one. Just shot down last month would be a better title
Russians are smart people. Putin has completely wasted Russia’s intellectual capital.
Smart people are a threat to Putin do he crushed them and most left.
Globalist? I didn’t post any putinist stories.
The putinist propaganda is globalist anti American propaganda. I’m surprised you believe the Russian globalist propaganda
Now we see what Russian antiaircraft equipment was made for.
Don’t screw with Russian Anti-air defenses? /s
Russian globalist propaganda ? Does not compute. Putin isn’t a globalist. But you are.
