2 reasons #Su34 of #Russia is downed in #Ukraine by MANPADS!

The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense shared a video on March 6 showing a Russian Su-34 fighter-bomber shot down.
The Su-34 jet struck at Ukrainian military infrastructure and civilian residents in Kharkiv and Chernihiv, the defense ministry said.

While limited details are available regarding the incident, unconfirmed reports state that it has been taken down by an FIM-92 Stinger.
Viewers may note that a decent number of Stingers have made their way into Ukraine from several counties and it is probably the most potent MANPAD or Man-Portable Air-Defense system available to the Ukrainian forces.

From the footage, it seems that the aircraft was flying low and tried to evade the missile using flares but was unsuccessful.
In this video Defense Updates analyzes how a Russian frontline strike aircraft like Su-34 is being shot down by MANPAD such as Stinger?

We will first check the profile of the Su-34 & Stinger and then decipher two key reasons for the surprising incident.
Let's get started.
