Arab Defense website-September 25, 2025: The Ukrainian Air Force announced the dropping of a Russian Su-34 fighter in the Zaburujia area this morning, September 25.
The forces published this announcement through their accounts on social media.
According to the statement, the Ukrainian forces managed to shoot down the Russian forces plane about four in the morning.
The statement confirmed that this plane was launching attacks on the city of Zaburujia using guided bombs.
The Ukrainian Air Force did not reveal further details, and the fate of the Russian bomber crew remains unknown, and the defensive system that the Ukrainian forces used was not disclosed to destroy it.
Since the beginning of the comprehensive invasion, the Su-34 bombers have become the main platform that Russia has used to launch missile strikes and bombing Ukrainian cities and defense forces sites on the fronts.
These bombers are used extensively to release UMPK bombs.
Su-34 tactical fighter bomber has been developed in the Soviet era, but has only entered serial production since 2006, and about 150 units have been produced so far.
Sliding bombs: an important weapon for Russia
Sliding bombs is one of the basic tactical means of Russian forces against Ukrainian defense lines, but they are also used frequently against cities located in the depth near the fronts. These bombs can be dropped from several kilometers distances, making the bombers usually far from the reach of air defenses. Cities such as Zaburujia in the south and Carkif in the northeast have suffered greatly from sliding bombs attacks during the Russian war, which exceeded three and a half years.
According to the governor of Zaburujia Evan Fedorov, a person was killed in the area despite the night air attacks, while two others were injured. The authorities also reported that the air attacks with the drones caused damage to structural facilities in the Venice and Kerofograph regions.
