✈️ 🔥 Second Russian Su-34 Fighter-Bomber Allegedly Downed by Ukrainian F-16
💥 Reports suggest a second Russian Su-34 fighter-bomber was downed by a Ukrainian F-16 on 1 November, following a similar incident on 12 October, according to Defence Blog and Militarnyi. While Russian and Ukrainian officials have not confirmed the incident, Russian military bloggers and aviation sources speculate that the Ukrainian Air Force engaged the Su-34 over Russian-controlled territory, with the crew reportedly not surviving.
📈 The loss of a second Su-34 highlights Ukraine’s increasing ability to challenge Russian air operations as the Ukrainian Air Force integrates F-16s. These interceptors, equipped with advanced radar and missile capabilities, represent a serious threat to Russia’s aerial assets and could limit Russian bombing missions over contested areas. If F-16s continue targeting Russian aircraft effectively, they could shift air control dynamics in Ukraine’s favor.
