Russian military aviation losses in Ukraine conflict
Overview
Ukrainian intelligence reports indicate that Russia has lost 43 Su-34 strike bombers and sustained damage to seven others since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, representing roughly one-quarter of its original fleet. Analysts suggest that replacing these aircraft could take two to three years due to limited annual production capacity and sanctions affecting microelectronic components.
More recent reports from late September to late October detail the loss of approximately 13 military aircraft. These losses include seven Su-34 fighter-bombers, one Tu-95MS strategic bomber, two Su-30SM fighters, one Mi-8 helicopter, and one Su-57 fifth-generation fighter. These incidents occurred across a wide geographic range, including strikes on airbases in the Voronezh and Volgograd regions, as well as crashes or incidents in Kaliningrad and the Russian Far East.
