Russian media reported that on March 31, apart from the Su-34, the Russian military also lost an An-26.
The An-26 is a light military transport aircraft used for transporting cargo, personnel, evacuating the wounded, and supplying troops.
With a maximum payload of approximately 5.5 tons, it can operate on short and unpaved runways, making it frequently active near frontlines.
Its destruction deals a blow to Russia's logistics—diminishing the Russian forces' ability to rapidly deliver ammunition, personnel, and equipment.
