Russia’s Yeysk. A military aircraft just crashed into a huge residential block. According to reports it was SU-34, pilot ejected.
Looks like its a su-35? I wonder if its a manpad that took it down? From the video, explosion looks like its got hit but it could be just an illusion

US still doesn't seem to have the risk appetite, and a pyrrhic Russian win might still be a perfectly acceptable outcome for them.
History tells us to finish your opponent completely or else regret later.
Indians know this to be true.
Maybe US needs another lesson.

According to Russian media, it was a fully loaded SU-34 and crashed shortly after take-off after it hit some birds.

Can the US Take on China, Iran and Russia All at Once?

soon india will also be on this list?
India unlikely, because we are not mortal enemy of the West. West has also started to realise that powerful China will be a another adversary rather than partner.

I think, West will turn against India once they manage to control Russia, China and Iran because West simply don’t like competitor.

As we knew from History that wars and victory came with blood, guts and arms in possession. That gave the glory. This principal as we see as the Russia and Ukraine war unfolds belong to technology, surveillance and still the quality of arms in possession. I can list a few cases as we know them from the media that a fraction of soldiers with top attacking missiles blasted a large tank column heading to Kiev early in the war. Again clever use of Satellite surveillance located the large Russian heavily armed warship in the Black Sea and then only a few missiles fired by a small group of missile men sank it in minutes. It had cost Russia $10 billion to build it. Then again today‘s loitering UAVs, unmanned and directed by remote control totally immobilized the Ukraine’s power and communication grid. As the media calls these Iranian UAVs as unsophisticated but they carried a punch so big that wherever these hit, it desttoyed the intended target, civilian casualties aside. There are many more such examples.

In all the few cases mentioned above, the blood & guts were replaced by technology and surveillance. And finally technological marvel of today’s missile did the rest.

All that artillery mobilized and soldiers sent to attack a particular target could not do as much as the newer modes of war have done. The mode of war is changing. The glory today belongs to not to the medieval tactics of war of blood and guts but knowing him where he is, what his intent is and what a missile or UAV carrying 100 kgs. of explosive damage can do to the enemy.

No doubt UAV's and missiles have shone brightly in this war.
Tanks have become pretty much useless.
Aircrafts have their place but it's really easy to envision UAV's completely replacing traditional Aircrafts.

But, this is all possible due to terrain and the nature of war.
I guess this would be how nest India - Pakistan war would play out.
India - China war though would not go down like this. The mountains and distance and enormous land masses would mean a traditional war + new tactics will need to be applied.

I Don´t know if Arash is really much cheaper then a cruise missile, at least when made in Russia. Mohajer is on par with Orion.

Russia was comitted by the INF treaty not to produce or even develop such missiles.
The track record of Ukro AD against cruise missiles is a joke at best.
