Irkut Hands Over Su-34 Frontline Bombers To Russian Air Force

Russian Sukhoi has handed over Su-34 frontline bombers to the nation's Air and Space Forces.

The aircraft took off from the V.P. Chkalov Novosibirsk Aircraft Plant’s airfield and headed to the place of their deployment, according to the 2015 State Defense Order.

At the present time the aircraft plant operates with maximum efficiency, the company announced today.

The State Contract with the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation for supplies of the Su-34s to the Russian Air and Space Forces up to the year 2020 guarantees a stable work load of the Sukhoi for the coming years and identifies long-term development prospects. 

Currently, Su-34s operate successfully in the military and demonstrate high performance.
