| Os primeiros Sukhoi Su-34 começam finalmente a entrar em serviço na força aérea russa em números significativos… Depois de quase 20 anos de desenvolvimento e percalços vários provocados pelos anos de caos e desorganização que se seguiram à queda do comunismo na Rússia, aquele que será doravante o cerna das forças de ataque da Federação Rússia começa a substituir os idosos Su-24.
The Su-34 is a two seat (side by side, rather than tandem) development of the Su-27 fighter intended for long range strike, replacing older types such as the Su-17, MiG-27 and Su-24, while the Su-32FN is a shore based maritime strike fighter . |

O primeiro Su-34 entrou ao serviço a 15 de Dezembro de 2006, sendo então o primeiro novo tipo de avião que a força aérea recebia em mais de 20 anos, o que dava uma boa medida da falta de actualização desta força aérea, outrora moderna e actualizada.
When the Su-34 first appeared in 1991 confusion surrounded its intended role, with the first prototype, '42', variously identified as an aircraft carrier trainer designated Su-27KU (Korabelnii Uchebno or shipborne trainer) and a strike fighter as the Su-27lb (Istrebitel Bombardirovschik or fighter-bomber) . |
 |
Contudo, o primeiro regimento com os novos bombardeiros Su-34 só estará completado com as 20 unidades previstas em 2010 e somente por volta de 2020 é que a Rússia terá 200 aparelhos idênticos em operação. It may well have been that the two seat side by side 'Flanker' was originally designed for carrier training for Su-33 pilots, but instead was adopted for strike. The Su-27IB first flew in April 1990 . |
 |
Apesar destes atrasos (provocados por dificuldades de financiamento), o Sukhoi Su-34 representa actualmente o ponto mais alto da tecnologia aeronáutica russa. However it is now clear that two distinct variants of the aircraft have been developed, the air force Su-34 (based on the Su-27IB) and the Su-32FN, a shore based long range maritime strike fighter intrended to replace Russian naval aviation Su-24s. It is unclear if the Su-32FN will make it into frontline service. |

Sendo ainda uma variante do Su-27, um avião de caça desenvolvido nos finais da década de 60, e sendo um herdeiro directo desta concepção com mais de 40 anos, o Su-34 tem sistemas electrónicos radicalmente novos e tão eficientes como os melhores dos melhores aviões ocidentais e pode transportar oito toneladas dos melhores mísseis Ar-Terra do inventário russo, como o R-73, o R-27 sendo defendido pelos mísseis Ar-Ar RVV-AE. Features of the Su-34 (aside from side by side seating) include twin nosewheels and tandem main undercarriage units, canards, AL-35F turbofans, a Leninetz phased array multifunction radar with terrain following/avoidance (the Su-34 had a rearwards facing radar in the tailcone, as on the Su-35), a retractable inflight refuelling probe, broader chord tailfins, multifunction displays in the cockpit and modern avionics . |
 |
O bombardeiro pode ainda transportar vários tipos de bombas inteligentes e mísseis anti-navio Moskit e Jachont. Link Access to the cockpit is via an integral ladder aft of the nosewheel, while behind the two crew seats in the humped fuselage is a small galley and toilet. The crew sit on Z-36 zero/zero ejection seats and the cockpit is protected by titanium armour. |
 |
The Su-32FN is similar but features a maritime search radar, sonobuoy launcher, MAD, laser rangefinder, wingtip ECM pods and seven LCD screen EFIS cockpit. |
 |
The Su-34 may enter Russian air force service as early as 1998, and, if funding permits, replace Su-17s, MiG-27s and early Su-24s.
