 The Ukrainian army shot down the 25th Russian Su-34 fighter bomber. Several media reports have indicated that a Russian Su-34 fighter jet has crashed in the Hennyshevsk district of Kursan Oblast. Radio Liberty said eyewitnesses are posting videos from the plane crash scene. Unconfirmed reports suggest it was downed. Crimean Wind reports that a Russian Su-34 fighter jet disappeared from radar screens after launching missiles at Ukrainian cities. This allegedly occurred at an altitude of 2,000 meters above the Hennyshevsk district. At least four fire engines and ambulances were sent to the plane crash scene, Crimean Wind added later. While these reports remain unverified, there are suggestions that the aircraft might have been targeted and brought down by the Ukrainian air forces. According to data from the general staff of Ukraine's forces, if confirmed, this would be the 340th aircraft shot down in the last two years. This incident follows the recent success of Ukrainian defence forces in downing a Russian A-50 aircraft on February the 23rd. It is only part of the Russian Air Force. Of course, the losses are heavy and may cause logistical problems, but the Kremlin will sooner or later deal with them in its own way. The Russian Air Force mostly uses TU-95, Su-22, Su-24 and Su-34 bombers and Su-27, Su-35 and MiG-29 fighters to attack Ukraine. Interestingly, the Kremlin should use the latest aircraft in shape, S-70 unmanned bomber drone and Su-57 5th generation fighter jet. As for the Su-34s, the Ukrainians have scrapped 25 machines, including 16 in the last two months. The Su-34 is a modern multi-role tactical fighter. The machine is capable of carrying tactical nuclear weapons and can carry out, attack, reconnaissance and direct air support missions. The cost of manufacturing the Su-34 is estimated at approximately $36 million.
