Wonder what the ordinance load was.

Looks like the Su-34 strike fighter can carry about a dozen of the fabulous new FAB-500s - old school iron bombs fitted with a guidance kit for precision destruction. Have not seen mention of the exact load-out, but if you pack for a long trip, might as well carry extras.
