What do you expect? Objective information is only in the datasheets, the media is not interested in any objectiveness but in sensations. That's because every new design is described as best, unique etc even if it's a refurbished 20 years old soviet prototype.
BTW: Su-34 is stealth...when compared to Tu-95. Since stealth is not an objective defined term you can apply it to anything. Any design nowadays incorporate elements to reduce radar-srosssection, ther is no clear line from which an aircraft is "stealth".
Very simplistic. The F-15E will carry 12T and fly not too far.
These figures can not be directly compared. You can always add more bombload to an aircraft while reducing the fuel carried. Just like he F-15E, 12 Tons and more can be carried by the Su-34 as well (at the expense of fuel load).
Remember, max take off weight is the figure that should not be exceeded. You can load with fuel, bombs or potatoes.
You are just another victim of manufacturer's infomercial/commercial. It works on TV as well as on data supplied. One should be more carefull to get a proper comparison.
I only find this:

It's at least showing how should it look like
why were there no T-90s in Chechnya? just curious! Thanks.
Why should they be used in chechnya? Chechens didn't had modern AFVs to be fought. The few T-72A they had were destroyed within the first few days by helicopters.
BTW In Afghanistan the 40th army also used T-55 and T-62 instead of T64/72/80. There was just no targets for mdoern tanks.
