This is SU-34. Yes, it is a FIGHTER-bomber. And what many people still don't get is that it is a fighter in its own right. What does it mean? Yes, its g-limits are g=7, as opposed to classic fighters which is g=9+. However, look at the standard air-to-air package--it includes this:
Missilery writes only about R-77-1 version. R-77M, however, has a range of 200 km. and it outranges anything (well, anything being the only thing of AIM-120 AMRAAM) the US has at its disposal. So, how many of those (also capable of launching hypersonic Kinzhals) does Russia have? If you go to wiki, which is "supplied" with data from 404 and those who curate it--it says 163 as of 2024. Well, something (or someone) tells me that it is long ago above 200. But what do I know--404 (that is US) AD shoots those Russians down everyday. I mean it, go watch Top Gun: Maverick--it is a documentary.
