I’m listening to an interview with a Russian Su-34 pilot who has been taking part in the war against Ukraine since the very first days.
🔴 He claims to have 1,400 combat sorties.
The interview is more than 3 hours long. Some interesting points:
🔴 The Su-34 does not have secure, encrypted radio communications; according to him, this only appeared on the Su-34M.
🔴 On a standard Su-34, he mostly carried out missions using unguided munitions, while Su-34M aircraft, with secure communications, were used for missions involving the suppression of Ukrainian air defenses.
🔴 I don’t know how accurate this is, but according to him, on the very first night of the war he was sent to fly at 6,000 meters over Kyiv without a specific mission, then ordered to return. On the way back, he saw missiles heading toward Kyiv. He says he was used as bait to provoke Ukrainian air defenses and then strike them with missiles afterward. Knowing Russian command practices, this sounds plausible. According to him, older Su-34s were used in this way more than once.
🔴 He praises Ukrainian air defense, saying it is very well organized and decentralized.
🔴 The Buk-M1 was, in his view, the most effective Ukrainian air defense system in the early phase of the war. He does not give exact figures, but it becomes clear that Russian Air Force losses were much higher than what is commonly reported online, and a major share of that was due to the Buk system.
🔴 Ukrainian Buk units quickly changed positions and mounted their systems on semi-trucks, which significantly improved their mobility and speed of redeployment.
🔴 He also describes Ukrainian air defense tactics in an interesting way. According to him, Ukrainians realized they did not need to shoot down every enemy aircraft; instead, their goal was to down a few aircraft each time, and over time this created a cumulative effect. As a result, his combat group reportedly lost half of its aircraft during the battles for Kyiv (though he does not specify the unit size—whether a squadron or a regiment).
👍I’ll continue listening and taking notes throughout the day when I have time.
There were some reporting that when 03 took over CJNG after the death of El Mencho, that his desire to continue to fight in Sinaloa was waning, that 03 didn’t believe in the FEU alliance between Chapitos and CJNG was more of a problem for CJNG.
With the deployment of Serio to CJNG and the Ramiro Ramirez of CJNG taking over Guero Pin, if anything it shows CJNG doubling down on supporting Chapitos even with the loss of their leaders.
