Enjoy combat missions by crews of Su-34 fighter-bombers

Combat sorties are carried out with aviation weapons of various classes. Before flights, aviation equipment undergoes comprehensive training. Engineering and technical specialists on the ground check the operation of all systems of aviation complexes, carry out suspension of aircraft weapons and refuel aircraft. Su-34 fighter-bombers are designed to carry out precise missile and bomb strikes against enemy ground targets in operational and tactical depth, as well as destroy enemy air targets.

Airplanes here can have several flights a day. The Su-34 bomber has just returned from a combat mission, having used up its ammunition, and two new high-explosive aerial bombs are now being hung here, preparing it for its next flight. Each weighs half a ton. But aircraft technicians work quickly. Pilots have a lot of tasks now.

During the special operation, combat pilots hit mainly places where enemy manpower accumulated: fortified areas, collection points, and there were also objects of the Ukrainian military-industrial complex. In one flight they can destroy up to 12 targets. No matter how the enemy tries to interfere. There is almost always counteraction – enemy air defence. The pilots observe this, but take risks. They see launches of man-portable anti-aircraft missile systems if the flights were at low altitudes.

Russian pilots skillfully avoid enemy missiles and shells, this is what they are taught and constantly train. The crews have almost no free time. Between flights, a new route and possible scenarios are being worked out. The enemy’s actions have already been well studied, as well as the places where he hides and hides equipment. These are combat missions for the next flights.
