You just lost 3 of your Krynky glide bombers today. Boom! Boom! Boom! Funny how the Vatniks are calling it the “Krynky Tragedy” and are screaming for Teplinksy to get the Prigozhin treatment.

....Ukrainians, who still haven't mastered the necessary English language stuff to fly the F-16s. Well, maybe they can press gang Denys boy into flying one of them there fancy F-16's!

Nice try, how much again are you paid to do this? I'm paid $0 to debunk this. This pic and "news" is from April 3, 2022.
This is at least the third time today this poster has posted the same story from different leftist sources.

Last I heard, Kazan is still standing in line for his ration. Lots of snow in Tatarstan, too.

Because they started with a lot of airplanes.
In the case of the SU-34, they had about 150 of them in Feb 2022. They seem to have lost more than 30 of them so far.
But that still leaves them with 100-120 SU 34 aircraft. What proportion of these are operational or have trained crews, who knows.
A mathematical mind is necessary to make sense of the world.

Its a good airplane and apparently a reliable system. The mode of employ of the glide bombs is also logical, given what they perceived as the AA environment. The Ukrainians just pulled a tactical surprise on them.
The USAF would likely have done a similar thing, using, probably, F-16s, with SDB’s (small diameter bombs, which are glide bombs). Perhaps the USAF can achieve a greater range for its SDBs than the Russians with their glide bombs, but the true range of the air dropped SDBs is something everyone has been rather cagey about.
