Previous megathreads:
Su 34 is a ground attack aircraft though. It can defend itself relatively well in air to air combat apparently, but it's primary role is still ground attack.
It's basically a ground attacker that doesn't need an escort.
Ah, I see. If they're confident enough to deploy them yesterday they must feel they have air superiority no matter what nato supplies Ukraine with? Idk, I'm not a big aviation person but the wiki page and the tests they've done that we know of makes it an impressive and scary aircraft
Yeah basically. It's a flanker/su 27 that was upgraded in every way for ground attack missions, using data from Soviet and Russian experimental planes like the su 37. And since it's based off a su 27/flanker, it's still agile and capable in air to air combat. But sending them in means they're relatively confident in air superiority. And it can defend itself well unlike old attackers like the su 25, both with jamming and radar systems (the rearwards facing radar in the spike between the two engine exhausts is a very important countermeasure against missiles) and with its own air to air and air to ground capabilities.
