Description
United Aircraft Corporation delivered its first 2026 batch of Su-34 fighter-bombers to the Russian Aerospace Forces on 9 July 2026, alongside Su-30SM2 fighters, Army Recognition reported. The aircraft were built at the Novosibirsk Aircraft Plant; the previous announced Su-34 handover dated from 10 December 2025. The number was not disclosed, but Militarnyi assessed from UAC's photos and video that two or four aircraft were involved. Imagery also shows a dorsal antenna fairing on the new airframes, suggesting a connectivity upgrade entering series production. This record counts two aircraft.
