Su-34 Fighters Continued to be Painted Orange After Customer Abroad Refused

The signature white "beak" also remained in place

A photo of a new Su-34ME fighter in an export modification has gone viral on the Web. The combat aircraft with tail number 795 is still painted in green and orange with the familiar white nose.

In September 2025, it became known that an unnamed foreign customer of Su-34 fighters allegedly refused to purchase combat aircraft in orange.

After that, a retired military pilot and author of the Telegram channel Fighterbomber reported that Russia had met the customer halfway and changed the color scheme of the aircraft fuselage, but the color is unknown. He noted that it would hardly be possible to inconspicuously transfer the Su-34 to the customer, so we should wait for photos in the public domain.

Presumably, the new aircraft were built for Algeria. Officially, the upcoming deliveries to the African country have not been confirmed.
