An American F-16 fighter jet was shown in the livery of a Russian Su-34 front-line bomber. The footage went viral on social media.
The combat aircraft was modified by the Canadian company Top Aces, which provides advanced training for fighter pilots. The purpose of painting the fighter jet in an eggplant color scheme is unknown.
Military blogger and former pilot Fighterbomber explained that the Su-34 livery became the most successful among all fighter and front-line aviation in Russia.
It effectively camouflages the "duck" against the background of the ground, fields, forests, and deserts at its main operating altitudes from the view of fighters.
As an example of an unsuccessful livery, he cited the Su-30 and Su-35S, which are "visible" on radars due to glare in sunny weather.
