24km... that proves my point. It was launched 40km away from the front.
Israeli F-35s don't enter Syrian airspace to launch their attacks and they are several times the price of the Su-34 and are supposed to be stealthy.
How many FAB-3000s do you think an F-35 could carry?
Kh-31 isn't even used anymore.
Kh-31 is widely and heavily used.
It is a very popular and effective missile.
Kh-31 isn't even used anymore. Kh-35 is used against big radars and AD system are taken out by lancet/iskander. They go for coordinates instead of locking on radar waves. Finding is done by satelittes or drones. Their Elint/EW sucks big time.
Their ARMs have always used coordinates rather than radar waves to attack targets... that is why the Kh-58 (AS-11) required a targeting communications pod to be used to use the missile because it detects the location of the target from the targets emissions and then flys to the location.
All the ships they hit were recorded. But it's useless to show it to you since you will close your eyes and say it never happened.
They hit every ship Russia ever had... twice... most of which appear a few days later without a scratch.
If their ability at fighting the actual war was as good as their propaganda war they would be unstoppable.
But yeah it's true when Russia says it has downed 60 missile at once they don't need to prove it, you just eat the propaganda.
They have never claimed to have shot down anything like 60 missiles at one time.
These storm shadows and Scalps and Taurus missiles were going to destroy the Crimean bridge we were told and all they managed was a truck bomb and a sea surface drone.
Pathetic.
Only the Kilo sub cost two times more than all the missile used by Ukraine.
It was moderately damaged and is back in service, which is more than one can say about all the western armour on display in Russia in museums and parks.
They almost every month hit russian bases with great effectiveness.
For the money spent you could have gone to the moon and set up a moon base... or solved world hunger... but that never bothered the west did it?
Don't get me wrong, I am happy the west has revealed its evil side because the worst thing that could have happened to Russia is to be assimilated and converted into a btch for the yanks like Europe has.
Russia is stronger and healthier than it has ever been and its future looks very bright, and the west has burned bridges really good.
I think the prognosis for the patient is excellent but all these parasites are doomed.
They have 2 or 3 Patriot. At least 2 are around Kiev. 1 of the patriot at the begining shot down at least 5 sukhoi and 1 A-50U that fell in the sea.
Hahahaha... have you any idea how far it is from Kiev to the Sea of Azov?
Only 5... don't you mean 100?
They do a better job with them than russians with their tens of different S-400/300 buks, S300vM and tors in Crimea.
Not really, the Russian AD systems have shot down over 600 Ukrainian aircraft... not to mention how many missiles and rockets and drones.
Nato missiles easily hit targets in Crimea and the only russian defence is to threaten nuclear war to stop them.
Yeah, cluster munitions on a public beach, you must be so proud.
Without stealth, jets have no use.
F-35s don't seem to be much use either?
If they are so amazing why not offer Kiev Rafales and F-35s and just take out the Russian military overnight?
The Su-35 has much lower RCS than a regular Flanker. It is like 2m sq instead of 8m sq. It uses more composites and has coatings in the engine inlets to reduce RCS.
External weapons always makes such estimates a joke.
A Kilo submarine, even if it was written off, is worth what? $200 million USD?
It has already returned to service.
As has the Karakut that was hit in port.
The Russians destroyed a lot of Ukrainian aircraft with their air defenses.
To be fair the Ukrainian air defence has probably killed way more people... their own civilians mostly.
Again idiot proof...after the war NATO will deny or try to lower the value of actual weapons delivered any weapons delivery to Ukraine...
They will claim fewer numbers delivered and claim many were destroyed in warehouses before they could be used and then overcharge them so they never pay the loan back fully and continue to provide an income to the west like they do with the third world.
Long story short, they delivered everything they could and they didn't turn the tide.
Initial surprise and the occasional minor success over something new, and then the Russians learned to deal with it and then they just get shot down a lot.
Can't say the same for Iskander and Kinzhal and Onyx and indeed most Russian attack weapons...
If it was A-50 it was friendly fire.
Must have been hit by 100 x S-400s because the pieces that were left were tiny and still haven't been found... you would think the Americans would be keen to find that evidence...
[quote]They were anhilated and they stoped using them until they came up with copies of US gliding kits.[quote]
The Russians developed glide kits quite some time ago but never cleared them for use because their existing glide bombs are actually cheaper than anything the west uses... even include ATGMs.
In a COIN type situation their avionics systems means they don't even need glide kits to accurately deliver dumb bombs.
If they copied US glide kits I doubt they would be very cheap or effective.., the US has a great skill of making complex expensive things even more complex and expensive.
Russian doctrine for the su-34 was to fly above the enemy and take hits while bombing them.
Put that back up your arse where you got it from. The only aircraft designed to take hits in combat are A-10 and Su-25 and Russian attack helicopters.
The Su-34 has armour for the crew for very low altitude flights when small arms fire might be a problem to an aircraft like an F-16 or Rafale that has no armour.
They just switched to western tactics.
The western tactics in Syria is don't penetrate defended airspace with aircraft... use super expensive stealth planes and standoff weapons and run away.
A supersonic yak-130 could do what su-34 is doing now.
There are no supersonic Yak-130s.
Any jets can launch those gliding bombs.
So if any jet can do it then it is just fine doing it.
Totally useless plane.
It has killed lots of nazis in the last three years... and still going...
