The United Aircraft Corporation manufactured and handed over a batch of Su-34s to the Ministry of Defense as part of the state defense order. The aircraft underwent a full cycle of ground and flight factory tests. The Aerospace Forces crews accepted the aircraft.
The Su-34 strikes ground, surface, and air targets, including infrastructure facilities covered by air defense and remote from the home airfield. The aircraft can conduct aerial reconnaissance and operate in difficult weather conditions with active countermeasures. Large internal fuel tank capacity and economical engines ensure non-stop flights of up to 10 hours without loss of crew performance.
The state corporation called the Su-34 an undisputed bestseller in world combat aviation. OAK CEO Vadim Badeha stated that the corporation maintains a high production pace and fulfills its obligations to the Ministry of Defense. Taking into account combat experience, the aircraft continues to be improved, and new batches are already in production.
OAK continues regular deliveries of Su-34s to the Ministry of Defense. In particular, the military received a batch of Su-34s in November and the fourth batch of bombers in 2025. In December 2025, new Su-34s with expanded combat capabilities were reported, and the assembly of the next series was underway in parallel. According to estimates concerning the dynamics of combat aviation creation, the Aerospace Forces receive up to 35 aircraft annually.
