Su-24 bomber shot down in Ukraine

Ukrainian front-line bomber shot down by Russian military.

A Su-24 bomber used by the Ukrainian military to carry out strikes with Kh-25 tactical cruise missiles was shot down by the Russian military during another attempted attack. As a result of the exact hit of the rocket on the plane, the latter was literally torn apart.

Judging by the video footage from the crash site of the front-line bombers, the crew of the combat aircraft tried, already being hit, to drag the Su-24 bomber to the airfield. However, due to the fact that the latter was engulfed in flames, the plane crashed. The fate of the crew is still unknown, however, most likely, the last one died.

On the video frames, you can see that the plane began to fall apart during the flight. At the same time, experts do not exclude that the ammunition load could have detonated on the aircraft, since it remains unknown whether the aircraft managed to launch loaded missiles or not.

Given the acute shortage of these combat aircraft in the Ukrainian Air Force, it is more than likely that the loss of another front-line bomber will be a serious blow to the Ukrainian Air Force, especially given the fact that these aircraft were supposed to be upgraded to use NATO-standard tactical cruise missiles.
