Impressive shots of Russian Su-24 and Su-34 jets launching at night from Latakia airbase in Syria

From a personal perspective having played "Cold War Chicken" with Ivan in the Seventies this is an interesting piece at a site that some give the shoulder shrug to.

Ivan is apparently kicking some ass in Syria against ISIS.

The Su-34 is an impressive airplane. It is a big old son of a bitch from my limited point of view.

I like airplanes. I really like airplanes that blow stuff up and kill the bad guys.

A sample to get you, the reader, interested.
