Italeri 0059 Sukhoi SU-34

Sukhoi Su-34/32 FN. A fighter-bomber capable of flying in all weather conditions. April 13, 1990 A prototype of the Su-27 modification, piloted by Antoly Ivanov, specialized in countering ground targets, was launched. Inside the cabin, up to an altitude of 10,000 m, the conditions of the altitude of 2,400 m above sea level are maintained, which allows the crew to work without oxygen masks throughout the flight. As the aircraft is flying at an extremely low altitude under heavy anti-aircraft fire while performing its typical combat task, the entire cabin is placed inside a 17mm thick titanium box. December 28, 1994 the first serial plane took off in Novosibirsk. The planes of the initial series differ from the prototype with a reinforced landing gear with double main wheels, a taller and fuller hump behind the cabin, and a larger stinger protruding from the rear between the engines (housing the rear hemisphere observation radar). The vertical tail of the plane has been slightly changed, many changes to the local aerodynamics. The main component of the Su-34 weapon control system is the B004 radar. In fact, it is a multifunctional radar capable of detecting enemy objects both on the ground and in the air. The range for air targets is 250 km. The machine can carry a wide range of weapons, including KAB 500 and KAB 1000 bombs or Ch-25, Ch-58 or R-77 missiles. The plane does not enjoy a good reputation among pilots. It causes a lot of operational problems and is highly emergency. Technical data: length: 23.34 m, wingspan: 14.7 m, height: 6.09 m, maximum speed: 2200 km / h, practical ceiling: 15000 m, maximum range: 4000 km, armament: permanent - 1 GSh-30-1 cannon cal. 30mm, suspended - up to 8000 kg of load.
