U.S. military on the face of Russia’s strategic encirclement, the Russian military stepped up the deployment of new weapons and equipment. According to the Russian media recently reported that the Russian Air Force combat units before the end of the first deployment of new warplanes Su -34. Some Western countries -34-known as the “fighter-bomber”, it has strategic bombers, as the long-range strike capability, the U.S. military strategy will be to break the encirclement important air weapon.
-34-Old fighters yield
According to RIA Novosti reported that the Russian Air Force is responsible for air safety in Moscow to defend section 16 is a group army equipment updated plan before the end of this year with a new type of warplane Su -34. It is learnt that the Russian Air Force will be deployed this year at least five Su -34 warplanes.
-34-Famous Sukhoi Design Bureau, the “work” is in the Su-27 fighter plane designed on the basis of total length of 23 metres, as high as six meters, is priced at 36 million US dollars belonging to the two-seater attack. Some people call it a fighter, and some people call it attack aircraft. Gaixingji takeoff weight of 45 tons, the West also called it “fighter-bombers.” However, from the overall operational performance, Gaixingji should belong to attack aircraft.
Russian Air Force said that by the year 2010, will be deployed 24–34, -34 formed the first Su aviation regiment; 2015, the deployment of 70 Su -34. In the next 30 to 40 years, the Air Force will deploy 200–34. At that time, about 300 old Su-24 attack aircraft will be retired. And the Russian Air Force will allow plans -22 M medium-range bombers retired, and the role of the Soviet Union from -34 to replace. In addition, the Russian Air Force is expected to deploy in the next few years, Su-35 air combat fighter.

The United States Air Force will put pressure

Su -34 belonging to the global power of the latest attack aircraft. Once sailing, and the Soviet Union -34 can carry eight tons of arms in all-weather operations, including 12 air-to-air missiles, ground attack missiles or precision-guided bombs, as a small bomber. If need be, Gaixingji can also carry anti-ship missiles on the sea combat. The AA-11 air-to-air missiles close to a head-on attack, AA-12 air-to-air missiles to intercept long-range 30 kilometers from the target-to-ground attack missile and precision-guided bombs capable of destroying the U.S. military deployment in the Russian Anti-Ballistic Missile around such important positions goals. Future, and the Soviet Union may be equipped with -34 being developed by RR-77 ultra-long-range air-to-air missiles capable of intercepting 150 km away flying targets.

-34-Equipped with two turbo-fan engine, a maximum range of 4,000 kilometers. If an air refueling, then Gaixingji maximum range of more than 7,000 kilometers, can become intercontinental attack bombers, and surrounding areas to the Russian long-range attack U.S. targets operations, including U.S. forces in the Pacific, the Arctic Ocean and the U.S. nuclear submarine force U.S. Europe, the Persian Gulf or even the U.S. long-range strike. If the strategic needs, and the Soviet Union at -34 or can be equipped with atomic and hydrogen bombs, such as nuclear weapons, and its long-range goals of the strategic nuclear deterrent, and even the implementation of long-range nuclear air-raid operations.

At present, the Air Force is no longer the development and deployment of attack aircraft and tactical bombers, mainly composed of long-range bombers, fighter planes and combat backbone. -34-The first deployment of the Russian Air Force combat troops, the United States Air Force will be a lot of pressure. Expected, the United States Air Force stealth fighter jets will be strengthened in the region around the Russian deployment, -34 to deal with the Soviet Union posed a major challenge.

Su -34 attention to the long-range attack capability, it is also paid great attention to self-protection. The cockpit installed 17 mm thick armor and can withstand bullets and fragments of the missile attacks and to prevent two pilots be harmed.

Western experts believe that, in many fighters Su -34 most advanced performance, in the coming years is expected to become the top fighters in similar operations master.

-34-Type course, the Soviet Union also technically inadequate. One of the most important was the lack of stealth combat capability, will face how remote detection U.S. stealth fighter and intercept problems. -34-Only maximum speed of Mach 1.6, practical Its only 14,000 m, the lack of high-speed and high-altitude operational capability and can easily be flying higher and faster fighter interception. In addition, Gaixingji maximum take-off weight of 45 tons, only 27 tons of F-22 “fat” much more difficult flexible.
