as a bomber the su thirty four is capable of destroying ground targets or warships its weaponry weighs up to eight tons but the efraim has excellent flying characteristics making it a highly effective fighter. it's highly maneuverable the air able to defend itself as well as to seek out and destroy enemy planes and. in russia every file it never gave to has his own particular specialization offensive combat or bombing but whatever field a young pilot chooses his route to achieving the status of fly. yes we'll never be
