Russia Accidentally Shoots Down Their Own $36M Su-34 Bomber, Ukraine Claims

Shooting down one’s own aircraft has been a thing since WWI. Ground based AA artillery are infamous for indiscriminately firing on every plane they see. IFF can help but never discount buck fever.

[Seruzawa]

Technically the SU34 isn’t a bomber. Ain’t media accuracy impressive?

The SU34 is a fighter/bomber not a “bomber”.

[Jan_Sobieski]

Are they certain it wasn’t the Ghost of Kyiv?

It’s a good thing Russia brought all those mobile incinerators!

[kiryandil]

I saw that exact same footage of the downed Jet 3 months ago also on your channel

General Pavel has the anger with your post!

[Caipirabob]

How do you say “Ooops” in Russian?

"Off to gulag".

[Alas Babylon!]

I had an Army friend who was in the Air Defense Artillery field (I was Air Force).

He told me their motto in Germany was “If it flies, it dies.”

I asked did that apply to the USAF? He said—”Don’t fly over us unless you want to find out.”

Ruzzian clowns. If Vlad was informed, his blood pressure went through the roof.

Photos show that this air wreckage destroyed some Ukrainian field crops.

“IFF can help but never discount buck fever.”

Done Rooskie style. Russian pilots died and an expensive airplane was destroyed.

[dennisw]

Air Moskva, but done by the Russians this time around.

Good news, comrade! The SAM works!

[Tallguy]

$36M for a fighter-bomber equivalent to the F-15E? I don’t think so. Not even by Russia’s creative accounting methods.

[ETCM]

Russia announces a 300,000 Ruble reward for shooting down an enemy aircraft and hours later a Russian SU-34 is shot down by friendly fire. I think the idiot who did it will be a little disappointed in the “reward” he receives.

Well this is awkward. The woketards running our Navy just sank one of our own ships. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/us-warship-sunk-by-missile-fire-in-pacific-training-exercise/ar-AAZIfDq

Wonder what the price tag is on that.

It was a decommissioned ship that was supposed to be sunk.

Why are you posting out and out lies?

[KC Burke]

It was a target ship — decommissioned to be a target in a joint exercise. Read your own link.

LOL great post
“real men of genius” FR award

[KC Burke]

Hey, I’ve done it — posting without reading, one of the true heritage qualifications on FR. I should have added an LOL as the correction was offered in good humor.

Boy am I embarrassed.
