The Su 24m is a low-level military aircraft that was developed in the Soviet Union. The plane is often compared to the US General Dynamics F-111 plane.

The soviet fighter aircraft has a maximum cruise speed of 1,315 km/h. Despite being replaced by more modern planes, it is still considered to be one of the best fighter jets ever created by Russia.

A highly effective aircraft

The Russian armored personnel vehicles were destroyed by the Ukrainian Air Force. Ukrainian assault aircraft destroyed the vehicles, according to the Air Force Command of the armed forces of Ukranian.
