Now imagine that: Russians recover a downed Su-34 pilot from Kremenchuk (distance is the same). A Su-34 can't even fly to anywhere close to the border/frontline - haven't since late April 2022 after several dozen attack aircraft of all sorts were downed in the first 2 months having achieved almost nothing.

The late of Russian air defence have fallen apart completely. One could argue that Venezuelans of Iraqi weren't good at operating them, but Iranians are certainly extremely competent using every piece of gear they get their hands onto.

An interesting perspective I see all over X and reddit is calling these people heroes, but only once the rescue happened. The more tame responses simply state that they are happy everyone was rescued and no military was harmed. Why? Those pilots were flying over Iran illegally, presumably to inflict fatal harm on whichever targets.
