It was stressed that Su-34 frontline bombers are a major part of the Russian frontline aviation’s strike powerMOSCOW, June 1. /TASS/. The United Aircraft Corporation (UAC, part of the state tech giant Rostec) has delivered a new batch of Su-34 frontline bombers to Russia’s Aerospace Forces, the UAC press office reported on Thursday.
"The UAC has delivered a new batch of Su-34 frontline bombers to the Russian Aerospace Forces. These splendid aircraft have been manufactured at the Chkalov Novosibirsk Aviation Plant. The planes have undergone a set of ground and flight tests and have been delivered to the Defense Ministry of Russia," the press office said in a statement on its Telegram channel.
"The Su-34 features extended combat capabilities, enabling it to employ advanced air-launched munitions, increase the range of striking ground and naval targets and expand the conditions and accuracy of bombing runs," the statement reads.

Nice. Now if only Russians can replace Su-25 plant in Georgia. I would also love to see these Su-34 lobbing better munitions e.g Kh-69's
some people debated in past with me here about Sukhoi SuperJet speeds. here its sustained speeds of 550mph and touching 600mph. this like flying in wide body plane. This special government version of the plane so it will be heavy with luxury seating. Boeing planes used to have higher speeds than Airbus this was once mentioned in Mideastern airlines. newer model may have closed the gap.
It is very similar with IL96 but that plane has steep climb to 40k feet gaining that 600mph speed much earlier. recent Southern Africa to Moscow 6200 mile trip in less than 12 hours and that include time in takeoff and landing from higher altitudes.

Footage of the loading of the Russian 240-mm self-propelled mortar 2S4 "Tulip". The 2S4 combat vehicle is now the most powerful self-propelled mortar of the Russian army. The rate of fire of the mortar is 1 shot per minute, the range is 9.5 km with conventional mines and 19 active-reactive ones. Portable ammunition mortar 2S4 "Tulip" 20 high-explosive artillery mines, or 10 active-reactive.
Overview of the Russian modernized self-propelled guns Msta-SM2 2S33. In Russia, they are increasing the production of the modernized self-propelled guns "Msta-SM2". The upgraded 2S33 self-propelled guns have significant design differences, a new automated fire control system is installed on it, and the aimed rate of fire has been increased to more than 10 rounds per minute. The use of digital electronic maps significantly accelerated orientation on the ground and increased the speed of deploying the gun in position by 2 times. Thanks to the modernization of the self-propelled guns, the Msta-SM2 can easily be aimed at targets that receive data from the UAV. The new automatic fire control system increased the guidance speed by 1.5 times. The self-propelled guns now have the "simultaneous fire attack" function, when several self-propelled guns fire at once from different positions. SAU 2S33 is equipped with a 2A65 152-mm gun. The howitzer is equipped with a programmable loading system and can fire high-explosive fragmentation, active-rocket jammers, as well as Krasnopol high-precision guided munitions at a distance of up to 29 km. Ammunition ACS 50 shells. ACS "Msta-SM2" develops speed up to 60 km/h and has a cruising range of more than 600 km.
Russian armored vehicle BTR-D with a mining system PCM-1 Wind-M. Footage of the use of a Russian home-made mining machine based on the BYRD armored vehicle has been published. The mining machine is equipped with the Soviet remote mining complex PCM1 "Wind-M" developed in the 60s. PKM-1 is designed for the operational installation of anti-personnel and anti-tank minefields at a distance of up to 35 meters with a dispersion ellipse up to 20 meters long and up to 10 meters wide. When an electrical signal is applied to the mine launcher, the expelling charge ignites in the cassette, and the mines are scattered from the armored vehicle. The BYRD was created on the basis of the BMD-1 armored vehicle and was put into service in 1974, we previously talked about it. On the basis of the BTR-D, a whole family of combat vehicles was created.
