In today’s session we are going to talk about a superior jet fighter, the Sukhoi Su-34 from Russia. If you are curious about what this combat aircraft is capable of, look forward to this video and stay tuned.
With the NATO reporting name Fullback, the Sukhoi Su-34 perhaps one of Russia’s most advanced and capable all-weather jet fighters, it is capable of ground, surface, and air attack. Not only that it is being seen active in a region like Syria, the Su-34 also being used to strategically defend Russian national interests in the Arctic.
Let’s first take a look at the history of the Sukhoi Su-34.
Historically, the development of Sukhoi Su-34 was a complex process. Sukhoi began developing a new multirole combat aircraft to replace the swing-wing Su-24 in mid 1980s, then selected the Su-27, due to its excellence in maneuverability and range, and also because its capability in carrying a large payload, an important aspect for the new fighter-bomber. The aircraft was specifically developed from T10KM-2, the naval trainer derivative of the Sukhoi Su-27K. Subsequently labelled as Su-27KU by Western intelligence, the aircraft then made its maiden flight on 13 April 1990. Retaining the main undercarriage of previous Su-27s, it was a prototype for the Su-27IB and was developed at the same time as the two-seat naval trainer, the Su-27KUB, which surprisingly is not directly related with Su-27IB.
