Norway Intercepted Russia's Meanest Combat Jet For The First Time



Roughly analogous to something between an F-111 and an F-15E Strike Eagle, the Su-34 Fullback is widely regarded as the most advanced tactical jet in Russia's growing arsenal. It pairs the maneuverability and long-range of the Su-27 with a side-by-side enlarged cockpit and the most advanced operational avionics and sensor suite in the Russian Air Force's inventory.

From hauling massive supersonic anti-radiation missiles, to escorting itself at low-level deep into enemy territory to strike targets with its on-board laser designator, the Su-34 is a feared asset indeed.
