The Russian Air Force was confirmed on November 25 to have received a new batch of Su-34 strike fighters, following considerable efforts by industry to expand production of the aircraft. CEO of the state run United Aircraft Corporation Vadim Badekha announced the delivery as follows: "The timely fulfilment of the state defence contract is a key task of the UAC. Our workforces are doing this important job with honour. This is not the last batch of Su-34 fighter-bombers this year.
These aircraft are the basic strike power of our frontline aviation and demonstrate their efficiency in real combat conditions.” He added that the aircraft had already been sent to the places of their operation after completing necessary testing. The delivery follows prior batches delivered in April, June and September and October. The Su-34 continues to be relied on not only for combat operations against Ukrainian and allied Western forces in Kursk, Ukraine, and the disputed Donbas regions, but also to safeguard Russian security more broadly amid heightened tensions with the Western Bloc.

Russia is an industrial nation. America was taken over by Neocons who pushed NAFTA which closed 80,000 manufacturing plants and sent them overseas. Some of our weapons systems, such as, air defense, Electronic Warfare and drones are 20 years behind the Russians. We do far surpass the Russians in corruption. We allow our Betters to stel money from the taxpayers by the trillions.
