It uses still free fall bombs that don't glide so the plane is in AD range. Glide bombs offer some stand off range against shorad and medium range systems.

This is one of several reasons why I cannot understand why Russia took EIGHT long years to properly intervene in its homeland of much of the past 1100 years, which was ridiculously called the "Ukraine" for a tiny part of that time.

Yeah, it made sense in Syria where there wasn't any AA to worry about but not here
For some reason Russian airforce has been unable to properly neutralize Ukrainian air defense, quite baffling considering that it was nothing but leftovers to begin with and hand-me-downs and pittance now and all operated by apes

Absolutely not the case. Even a third gen Su-25 proved to be extremely valuable. Air power can be very flexible if used correctly. The Russians decided in some cases it won't be willing to sacrifice expensive aircraft so it opted for cheaper options like the Lancet. The modern battlefield is a very complex place and you need to adapt very quickly to gain or keep the advantage.Podlodka77 wrote:The fourth generation of aircraft is already obsolete.
Again nothing could be further from the truth - all the Sukhois - including the Su-35 have been very active and effective. It doesn't mean you have to fly directly over enemy positions to have an devastating effect on the battlefield.Podlodka77 wrote:Unfortunately, the reputation of Russian Sukhoi aircraft has been damaged
