Su-34 issues

[shivering]

Seems the Su-34 is having some problems:

That's a pity!
For I had always viewed Sukhoi's achievements with the Su-27/Su-34 adaption as a more modern (and up until now) a successful vindication of what the U.S. military tried and failed in their TFX (F-111) project in the 1960's (that is the adaption of a common (or as it should have been 'near common') aircraft for use as a fighter/fighter bomber! (ok ok I agree the difficulty between meeting commonality between a ground-based and carrier-based aircraft added some what to this realistic problem!!)

The good thing I do see with this announcement is my hope and concern that the PRC would have adopted the Su-34 in its ever growing order of battle! But as has been proven, the PRC might still be able to make something of this potential design in its ability to apply both Western and Eastern technology (whether bought or copied)

I wonder what percentage of components are truly shared between su-34 and the rest of su-27 family.

Ähhhmmmm ... did I miss something ??! ... or is this again a ps-fake ?


Found here (http://slide.mil.news.sina.com.cn/k/slide_8_297_29436.html#p=1) and said to be a Su-34SV for Vietnam

大消息：网传越南空军苏-34SV战斗轰炸机到货

近日有越南军迷在社交网站上发布了一张了拍摄于今年2月的照片。图片显示一架迷彩涂装的苏霍伊系战机正被运下安-124运输机。新浪军事对比了越南空军的苏-30MK2V照片后发现，此飞机尾椎并非苏-30的，而是属于量产型苏-34特有的，也就是苏-34SV到货。

To admit I can't think that this export success would be hidden by anyone - most of all the Russians - as such I therefore think that this is most likely a psed image of either a Su-30MKK in regular Vietnamese colour scheme a psed Su-34-sting or an image of a real Su-34 loaded into an An-124 but with a psed Vietnamese-style colour scheme. :?: :?:

Anyone with more information,

PS: If that post is too stupid and I made a big fool out of myself ... please tell a Moderator to delete it. :
