Following the repair, the Su-24MR jet was successfully tested in the presence of representatives of the Ukrainian Air Force and was then adopted by airforce pilots.
The Su-24MP variant of the aircraft carried out a flight to its main base and helped strengthen the defence capability of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Su-24MR is a supersonic aircraft that can carry out deep reconnaissance up to 400km from the front line.
In order to enable the aircraft to conduct deep reconnaissance, the jet is fitted with a sideway radar. It facilitates the tracking of ground targets such as enemy fortifications and equipment through the use of sensitive high-resolution cameras, radio detection systems and infrared sensors that would help detect camouflaged objects.
