The Sukhoi Su-34 Fullback is a Fixed-Wing Aircraft that appears in Battlefield 2. It is the a two-seated fighter-bomber developed by Russian company Sukhoi (Сухой) as a replacement for the Su-24 ground attack fighter.
Battlefield 2[]
The Su-34 is the ground attack fighter for the MEC. It is similar to the USMC/EU F-15E and the PLA Su-30MKK, in both armaments and maneuverability. Like its counterparts, it is best used as an anti-tank or ground attack bomber, and is not suited for air combat against fighters, due to low maneuverability and fewer missile capacity. A second player can enter the Su-34 and is armed with laser guided missiles which can lock onto ground targets.
The Su-34 can be used to bomb high traffic areas of the map and to support armor on the offensive. The second player can use the TV camera mounted underneath the fuselage help spot possible targets for the pilot to attack.
It is best not to dogfight dedicated fighters while in a fighter-bomber in Battlefield 2, as jet fighters have a distinct advantage over you in missiles and speed, although a dogfight against another fighter-bomber is evenly matched.
As with all fixed-wing aircraft in the game, the Su-34 can easily dispatch helicopters with a burst of cannon fire or two air-to-air missiles. It is recommended to fire a burst of cannon fire onto the helicopter, as it may have flares ready.

Trivia
- Although the plane can drop 5 bombs, only 3 bombs are actually fitted into the aircraft. The exact same goes other aircrafts of the same class: Su-30 and F-15.
- Su-34 was never operated by any foreign nation outside Russia, unlike the reality of other Russian/Soviet aircrafts in game like the MiG-29, Su-30, and the Su-25 (although the in-game variant of the aircraft was also never used outside Russia, much like the Su-34)
