Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and military officials have announced that the country's forces successfully shot down three Russian Su-34 fighter-bomber aircraft on the southern front. This development is being seen as a significant achievement in the ongoing 22-month-old war. Notably, the Russian military has not commented on the incident. However, Russian bloggers have acknowledged the loss, and some analysts have speculated that U.S.-supplied Patriot missiles may have been utilized.

Speaker of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Yuriy Ihnat, commenting on three Russian Su-34 fighter-bombers shot down by Ukrainian forces, said this is modern and expensive aircraft.

The spokesman for the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Yuriy Ihnat, commented on Ukrainian national television on Dec. 22 on the destruction of three Russian Su-34 fighter-bombers on the southern front, calling it a "brilliantly planned operation."

First introduced into service with the Aerospace Forces in 2014, the Sukhoi Su-34 is a twin-engine, twin-seater, all-weather supersonic 4+ generation fighter-bomber/strike aircraft that has proven instrumental in Russia’s military operations in Syria and Ukraine.

It wouldn't be an overstatement to suggest that the Su-34 was one of the best aircraft to come out of the Soviet Union during the late Cold War period.
