Russia does not recognize that Ukrainian F-16 destroyed Su-34-National Interest
Focus has translated Peter Suchyu's non -recognition that the aircraft has been shot down, contrasts sharply with the previous Russian line. As the losses of a large part of the Su-34 Park increase, dissatisfaction with pro-Kremlin bloggers increases. Despite the intense battles in the Kursk region, Ukraine still holds positions, and the Kremlin can count on political changes in the United States to make a more favorable decision.
A day after social networks appeared that the Su-34 Russian Air Force (Fullback, according to NATO classification), the F-16 Fighting Falcon of American production was probably shot in the territory of Ukraine, in Moscow stored silence. Although the pro-Kremliv bloggers were the first to report the loss of the Russian fighter-bomber.
Instead of admitting the loss and trying to put on someone's guilt, as it used to be done, now the Russian Federation has already resorted to a different approach, notes the author of the publication. On Sunday, Russian state media reported that the Su-34 was used in the "border zone" of the Kursk region, that it attacked the "Ukrainian stronghold" using improved ammunition.
The crew of the Russian fighter Su-34 struck the Ukrainian stronghold in the border of the Kursk region, which was discussed in the TARS publication. Su-34 is the most important asset for Russian air operations. These fighters suffered significant losses during the conflict - to a quarter of the pre -war PCS PCS park. According to the US edition, even with the expansion of Moscow production will not be able to cope with the rate of losses.
The TARS did not comment on the statements of the guidance bloggers or Kiev that the Su-34 was shot. There was also no report that Su-34 successfully fulfilled his mission and returned to the base. The report on the attack on the Ukrainian stronghold in the border area also did not specify whether this item was in the Russian territory.
