FighterBomber ? Hard to believe tbh.

His argument is also not convincing by saying fighters can take AEW jobs... There just no comparison between small or 1 meter fighter radar vs AEW radar. It's gonna take Multiple fighters and multiple sorties to get the same endurance and coverage as AEW. Such easily worn down VKS very quickly.

To say nothing on low RCS target detection and early warning.

Canning the A-100 without virtually anything comparable or at least A-50 back in serial is kinda technical suicide tbh as things will back to 0. They'll gonna have to redesign the radars and avionics suite if they intend to say, going to "more produced platform" like Tu-214. That will take years.

Only MiG-31 could provide 120 degree AEW and assured if radar was upgraded to AESA.

A salvo from the Russian Grad-M naval MLRS. Rare footage of the 122mm Grad-M naval MLRS firing has been published as part of the Russian Pacific Fleet exercises. The firing training was conducted from the large landing ship Peresvet, Project 775M. The A-215 Grad-M naval 122mm MLRS was created on the basis of the 9K51 Grad land MLRS in 1969 in the USSR. Full specifications of the MLRS are shown on the screen. The MLRS is designed to destroy manpower and equipment on the shore, during the landing of marine troops, to support their actions, and to defend landing ships. The A-215 MLRS can also use 9K51 Grad MLRS rockets. The Grad-M MLRS is equipped with the MS-73 launcher and contains 40 shells, plus ammunition in the ship's magazine. The Grad-M MLRS can hit targets at a distance of up to 20,700 meters, the reload time of the installation is 2 minutes.

Ergonomics and autonomy ​

The Su-34 features excellent aerodynamics, large capacity internal fuel tanks, and highly efficient dual-circuit engines with a digital control system. The aircraft has an in-flight refueling system and can be equipped with additional fuel tanks. This allows it to cover distances "approaching the flight ranges of strategic bombers."
According to the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC), the Su-34 can fly non-stop for up to ten hours. The crew does not lose its ability to work: the pilots are in a spacious cabin, have the opportunity to sleep and eat.
"Taking into account the specifics of a long flight, the designers were probably able to make the most comfortable cabin for a tactical aircraft. The pilots can practically stand up to their full height, take a nap, and heat up food in the microwave. There is a toilet in the cabin. In other words, everything is done there so that the pilots can recuperate," Major General Vladimir Popov, an honored military pilot of the Russian Federation and a candidate of technical sciences, said in a commentary to RT.
As the pilots themselves say, the aircraft is easy to fly, has good ergonomics, extensive automation at all stages of a combat flight, and is unpretentious in operation.
At present, modernized Su-34s are being delivered to the troops. These aircraft are being equipped with new electronic systems, high-precision weapons, and several suspended containers with reconnaissance equipment
