Russian Air Force Su-34s and Su-24s night operations at Latakia airbase.
Released by the Russian MoD, the pictures in this post show Sukhoi Su-24 Fencer and Su-34 Fullback attack planes taking off from Latakia airbase, in western Syria, for night air strikes.
The visual effect created by the flames of the afterburner makes these shots quite impressive.
