Su-34 supersonic fighter jet worth up to $50 million crashed onto an apartment building in Russia

A Russian Su-34 military plane fell on a residential house while climbing to altitude. The incident occurred in the city of Yeisk, Krasnodar region.

Here's What We Know

The Armed Forces of Ukraine have destroyed several such fighters. But this time the plane self-destructed, falling on an apartment building. Russian media reported that the fighter took off from the Russian Defense Ministry's airfield, which is located in the city. The pilot was able to eject. This is clearly visible in the photo.

The cost of one Su-34 ranges from $36 million to $50 million. Interestingly, this is not the first time a fighter jet has been destroyed without the involvement of the Ukrainian army. Thus, in mid-summer in the Donetsk region, the Russians themselves shot down their own plane.
