The Russian Ministry of Defense said on Tuesday that its air force has received a new batch of fourth-generation Sukhoi Su-34 bombers.

While the Russian Ministry of Defense did not say how many planes were delivered, it did say that it was slated to get a total of 16 in 2017.

The Su-34, dubbed "Fullback" by NATO, is one of Russia's most capable aircraft - able to engage targets on the ground and in the air - and has been used extensively in Syria.
