I had no idea that these were so huge! I've liked military aviation since I was a kid, but don't keep up. I've been around F4's and other older U.S. jets, but this Russkie plane seems bigger than a WWII medium bomber to me.

Wow, and I thought the F-22 was big...
Edit: Did you see the 34 in Texas? My wife and I were driving to the beach a few years ago and went past a base that had more Mig-29s than F-18s (as far as we could see). It just felt weird to see so many Russian fighter jets in SC. Why are there so many stateside? |

I've always thought the F-14 was big, but the SU-34 is a full 14 feet longer.
SU-34 is 76 feet long and 48 feet wingtip to wingtip.  F-14A is 62 feet long and 64 feet wingtip to wingtip when fully extended.  |

it is impressive looking. I remember reading years back(I think before the "Superbug", or maybe it was still on paper) one of the aviation publications articles advocating buying Su-27 air frames(our electronics/engines) to fill the gap until a new design came online for replacement as the F-14's and Intruders were going away... becasue the air frame was huge and capable, and could haul alotta fuel/ordnance. basically they thought the F-18 was too small and short legged to fill those various roles... dunno how it's doing , I guess everyone around here seems satisfied. |

Its like a mini B-1 bomber. Built for long duration and comfort. Has a toilet in the back and you can stand up in the cockpit to stretch out for long missions. It flies and handles just like a regular fighter jet.

Cheap too. Seems like just the thing for Australians to replace the F111, being as how they got shafted on not getting F22s. |

The Fullback is my favorite Russian airplane, but it really is not a very good plane.
No internal stores and so far the Russian MoD has released no videos of it using PGMs. Which is a bit surprising. It's Russias premier and brand new medium range bomber |

Well lotsa luck with it against anything other then 3rd world targets. The thing must look like a house on radar I dont care what the Russians say about reducing its RCS. You cant "reduce" a design.
If they ever had to go up against a country with a decent air defense I think they'd get their butts kicked. But seeing as how Air Forces mostly bomb those without defenses maybe the Russians are on to something. |
