It was a brilliantly planned operation to destroy the enemy. This is how Air Force spokesman Yuriy Ihnat commented on the downing of three Russian Su-34 fighter-bombers in the southern direction by air defense forces during a telethon, UNN reports.

"The operation to actually destroy the enemy on the outskirts of our country has been brilliantly planned once again... This time, three planes in the southern direction at once, which has not happened for a long time. The Su-34 has not been included in our positive statistics for a long time," Ignat said.
According to him, the Russians have dozens of such aircraft in service, which they continue to produce. He added that the Su-34 is one of the newest aircraft, along with the Su-35, which are used to launch guided bombs and guided missiles.
"Su-34 costs tens of millions of dollars... I think that such a machine can cost at least 50 million dollars. This is the lowest price, fighters are aircraft systems, this aircraft is an extremely technological thing," the spokesman added.
