"Too heavy and lacking stealth technology": proposal to abandon Su-34 fighters

Military expert Dymchuk: the capacity of the Novosibirsk Aviation Plant will have to be seriously re-profiled

Fourth-generation Su-34 fighters need to be gradually replaced with Su-35S generation "4++". This appeal was made by military expert Yaroslav Dymchuk.

According to him, the Su-34, despite its versatility, is heavy and not maneuverable enough. The fighter lacks stealth technology, and the electronic equipment needs to be updated.

In this regard, Dymchuk proposed reducing the production of the Su-34, replacing it with increased production of the Su-35.

Yes, this will require curtailing or re-profiling the capacity of the Novosibirsk Aviation Plant named after Valery Chkalov, where the "thirty-fourth" is assembled. In general, it is necessary to analyze.

In September, the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC, part of Rostec) supplied the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation with a batch of new Su-35S. The aircraft have passed ground and flight factory tests.

The Su-35 is designed to gain air superiority, operate in difficult weather conditions at long distances from the airfield of basing, and has become a transitional aircraft to advanced fifth-generation aviation complexes.
