The Su-24 is a Russian tactical bomber designed for launching missile and bomb strikes against ground and naval targets. The Su-24 is also capable of carrying tactical nuclear warheads.
The Ukrainian defenders have previously shot down Russian Su-24Ms during the full-scale conflict. One of these aircraft was destroyed near Bakhmut in March of this year.
