@@m_zbrv3967 SU-34 is a based of the SU-27 flanker , an aircraft known for its power and agility but the SU-34 is a jet bomber modification , it sacrificed a lot of maneuverability of the flanker for a strengthen airframe to carry more ordinance , remember this aircraft was intended to replace the SU-24, SU-25 and the russians intend for it to replace to their long range bombers to an extent in the future . It's not easy to dodge SAMs, let alone Patriot missiles in such a heavy aircraft , some russian telegrams also reported that this SU-34 did this with a lot of weapons (weight) still under its wings

Hmmm, given that between 25 and 35 SU-34's have been shot down during the conflict, I'd say your guess is a little off the mark.

[@technoartfest8708]

The way i understand is the Su-34 job was to drop the glide bomb and follow instructions how to evade the patriots missile , with real time location of the missile flight path. The SU-35 job was to defend their wing bomber by takinge down 2 of 3 patriots missiles. A drone operator missing in the chat likely warned Central command of Rus airforce of a missile launch of Patriots. Because there are videos of this when it happens , of a patriot battery firing 2 missiles. So it was a team work.. not just the work of Su-34

People saying manouvrability doesn't matter anymore are the same people swallowing up the same propaganda which tells such bs because our doctrine was focused in the last two to three decades on "stealth" and BVR. I'm sure that as soon as our doctrine will change (and it's alreadg changing because we have to keep up to Russia and China) our propaganda will tell us something different. Sad reality of things is that we live in a little bubble of bs, because manouvrabilities always matter and what still matter is high speed; high speed matters maybe even more than "stealth" in some specific cases.

[@Sputniksim]

That's a very ignorant comment by a person who lacks any knowledge of aircraft in general. This is not a heavy bomber but a fighter bomber. Second thing the manouverability you think of, aka airshow manouverability has nothing to do with high speed missile evading which is limited mostly by pilot and machine G limits. In this scenario Su-34 is no different than any other su-27 family jet.

[@Scohill]

@@Sputniksim and a su34 is different than every other su 27 family jet, its slower, heavier and some reports indicate that the airframe can only pull 7 G's as opposed to the 9 of the su 35 for example.

Just to clarify. Russian methodology of combat operations with this airplane is to use them only in pair. Since Syria they adopted this strategy. 1. SU-35 which is fully loaded for Air-to-Air combat is flying high up with its radar looking into BVR while the 2. SU-34 carrying the bombs is flying in front and below. The job of the 1. SU-35 is to cover the bomber and to provide him with more detailed information through the altitude advantage he has. Therefore he can also see the missles and tell them.

[@blasty137]

The reason why the pilot managed to survive is because he had a ground radar or AWACS close enough to detect Patriot missiles and warn him to get away, without them he would've been f*cked. With such an early warning pretty much any modern aircraft could have pulled off what this Su-34 did, it didn't perform anything extraordinary that sets it apart from other similar aircraft. Regarding Su-34 being a "masterpiece", well, since the start of the war in Ukraine about one quarter of all Su-34s ever produced have been destroyed. For the sake of comparison, the number of Su-34s alone that Russia lost to enemy action in less than 3 years in Ukraine is about the same as ALL fixed wing aircraft of all types that the US lost to enemy action since the end of the Vietnam war (and more than a half of those were actually aircraft from the 60s and 70s, only a handful were modern). I'm not a pilot but from a data analysis point of view that doesn't really seem like a "masterpiece" performance. On the subject of pilot skills, in every conflict the US participated it established air superiority without suffering significant losses. How come Russia never managed to gain air superiority in Ukraine? How come we never saw them perform SEAD/DEAD? How come almost three years into the war they still can't enter Ukrainian air space and mostly rely on hurling missiles and glide bombs from a safe distance (and yet despite being cautious they still suffered atrocious aircraft losses)? Again, I'm not a pilot, but all available data indicates that the Russian air force is nowhere near as effective as the US.

They were at less than 1000 ft pulling hard Gs at max thrust. You heard them pulling left and then switching back to pull right, making the Patriot, which has to pull lead on them, have to make a 180° turn to pull lead on them again. This is long after the Patriot expended all its fuel and no longer has thrust. Its pretty hard to pull a 180° and keep flying when you no longer have thrust. Sure, you can manage it with long slow turns but that's not an option for a SAM. I thought they did a great job.👍

[@Stubbies2003]

Yeah you might want to work on your math degrees skills. If anything turns 180 degrees it is completely reversing direction. That is NOT happening here. Yes the missile has to adjust course but it is no where even REMOTELY close to 180 degrees. The only time it is going to even be a big change is if the pilot keeps flying off angle in one direction. If he is just turning left and right over and over the degree change at range is small. Enough to cause extra drag on the missile though.

That missile system can't even defend itself

[@V12F1Demon]

It's trash. They never talk about the S300 that almost brought down and Israeli F35 over Syria.

SU's are THAT GOOD and the russian pilots too..this beats the F-16's vs SA-2 and SA-6 in my book..Patriot missile system is one of the most potent missile systems in the world (if not the most potent) and this is amazing that SU-34 been denyed to drop but survived...amazing battle,amazing jet and crew..i'm glad no one died on both sides..i hope that madness end soon

Экипаж Патриота погиб весь. Их засекли сразу после пуска и дежурный Искандер прилетел на позицию Патриота.

[@Sosyy79]

a perfect example of coordination between AWACS and the Su-34 w pilot

First time reading Mover's comments, and it's crazy how many folks are GCI, Su-34 and Patriot missile system experts. lol 😂

[@arthurmoore9488]

To be fair, there are some people here who really are. Plus plenty of people, like me, who want to share whatever bits of trivia we've learned over time. It's just hard to put that nuance of "I'm not an expert, but here's an interesting fact."

This is KZbin, many chair jockeys act like an “expert” in the comments.

[@teddy.d174]

@@arthurmoore9488 An excellent, underrated comment.

The same people in 2020 were immunology experts, 2022 left them with a new career, as international foreign policy and warfare scholars. I can't wait for their next adventure.

Patriot couldn't hit a barn door on a clear day.

[@ZingaraJoe]

What do I think. There would not be this very expensive blood bath by both sides if the arms merchants had not been pushing for Ukraine's inclusion into NATO. This is/was contrary to many verbal assurances by various US officials over the years that NATO would not be expanded to USSR / Russia's borders. Lot of bad karma - these people don't know the meaning of guilt or conscience, alien emotions to sociopaths.

[@vladdobr5276]

the supporting "radar" is the SU-35S pilot. In RU tactics SU-35S is a "small AVACS" which controls airspace in radius of 200-300 kms and controls allies activities

[@CHRISKASSMUKEN]

Wow these Russian pilots are actually good. They communicate with controller and navigator. I'm suprised how they can all see the missile comming from far and still evade all of them. that mean if they can see those missile they can create a counter missile that can interact this the missile. This is brilliant, it mean if AI is integrated this their radar on a bot missile it could counter the patriot missile. Russian are genius.

[@MS-wz9jm]

MoD has reported that PVO (ground air defense) has intercepted Patriot missiles on a couple of occasions - still rare but it has happened.

[@JalinMarsh]

LOL it's so funny looking at a guy who never fought against an actual military and the most hi-tech thing ever shot at him was probably a bird, sitting and acting all cool commenting on the work of guys who did something he would most probably never be able to do.

[@CWLemoine]

And you’ve done what exactly?
