A Su-34 fighter-bomber crashed in the Volgograd region of Russia on Saturday, July 27.

The loss of the aircraft was officially confirmed by the Russian Ministry of Defense.

Photos and videos from eyewitnesses showing the burning at the crash site of a Russian Su-34 bomber are posted on Russian social media and Telegram channels.

A Russian Su-34 crashed in the Serafimovichsky district of the region on Saturday afternoon.

The fighter-bomber crashed into a field near the forest, as evidenced by the video from the crash site.

According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the Su-34 crashed during a scheduled training flight.

It is reported that the crew of two people had ejected, and their lives were not in danger.

The preliminary cause of the Su-34 fighter-bomber’s crash is a technical malfunction.

Su-34 fighter-bombers are actively used by the Russian invaders in the war against Ukraine. They are carriers of a large range of missile and bomb weapons used by the Russians.

They are dropping UMPK guided bombs and launching cruise missiles at civilian targets in Ukraine. Because of this activity, Su-34s suffer the most losses among other Russian aircraft.

As previously reported, in June of this year, a Su-34 fighter-bomber of the Russian Aerospace Forces crashed in the mountains of North Ossetia, killing the crew.

The Su-34 reportedly crashed during a routine training flight. However, a Russian aviation propagandist said it had happened when the plane had been flying to another airfield. According to eyewitnesses, the fighter-bomber crashed into a rock around midnight.
