WASHINGTON, Dec. 1 (UPI) -- Russian media reported the Russian military is equipping Sukhoi Su-34 fighter-bombers with air-to-air missiles for combat missions in Syria.
The multi-role warplanes will be equipped with both short and medium-range air-to-air missiles capable of hitting targets within a 37-mile range, marking the first time the planes will carry such weaponry in the Russian anti-terror campaign in Syria.
