A video of the flight of the new export fighter Su-34ME of the Algerian Air Force at the airfield of the M.M. Gromov Flight Research Institute in Zhukovsky has appeared online. The aircraft, judging by its distinctive coloring, was built for the Air Force (AF) of Algeria.
The footage shows the fighter performing a "loop-the-loop" twice in the air, which is very rare for such heavy front-line bombers.
The media reported that Algeria may become the first country to operate the Su-34. Back in 2019, the countries signed an agreement for the supply of 14 units of this equipment.
Algeria's total order also includes 12 Su-57E 5th generation fighters and 14 Su-35E fighters.
Against this background, the production of the Su-34 at the Novosibirsk Aviation Plant named after Valery Chkalov has increased approximately twice.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that Iran has rethought the Yak-130 and equipped the aircraft with an air-to-air missile system
