Ukraine Exploits the Su-34’s Biggest Weakness – And russia Can’t Stop It (video commentary)

01/04/2026

Russia keeps losing Su-34 jets in the Ukraine War, and in this video I explain why Moscow’s most important strike aircraft has become its most reliable loss statistic. The Su-34 was built for this exact kind of war, yet it keeps flying into an environment that punishes repetition, predictability, and slow adaptation.

I break down how Ukraine built air denial instead of air superiority, why Russian doctrine keeps forcing the Su-34 too close to the front, and how layered air defenses, fighters, and deep strikes are turning every sortie into an expensive gamble. This isn’t about bad pilots or bad jets. It’s about a capable aircraft trapped inside a failing way of fighting.

Glory to Ukraine. Glory to the heroes. Crimea is Ukraine.
