In March 2022, the Russian Air Force Sukhoi Su-34 fighter-bomber, tail number RF-81251 and call sign "Red 31," was shot down near Borodyanka in the Kyiv region of Ukraine. The aircraft was part of the 277th Bomber Aviation Regiment and had been conducting bombing missions against Ukrainian targets. During its operation, the Su-34 was engaged by Ukrainian air defenses, resulting in its destruction. The wreckage was later identified, confirming the loss of this aircraft . Designed by the Soviet Union to challenge the superiority of fourth generation US fighters such as the F-15 Eagle, the Su-27 was first flown on May 20, 1977. This one seat Mach-2 fighter had the Soviet Union's first operational fly-by-wire system. The aircraft is very large compared to the MiG-29, its closest Soviet counterpart, but it is built with a high percentage of titanium, which helps minimize its weight. It is exceptionally agile and is perhaps most famous for its "Cobra" maneuver, which is a short, sustained level flight at a 120 degree angle of attack, often performed at air shows. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
