The Russian Defense Ministry released videos showing flights of its Tu-22M3 and Tu-160 strategic bombers.
Tu-22M3 strategic bombers over the Black Sea:
Tu-160 strategic bombers over the Barents, Greenland and Norwegian seas:
:)
Why are the pilots dressed like black boxes?
You mean US B-52 pilots during Vietnam war.?…
Do you mean US bombers need a war to crash?
I mean Black box to return corpses of fallen US pilots in Vietnam
In Vietnam? That was a war in last century. Last time a Russian bomber took fire was in 2019.
They forgot to put most important Hyper-sonic Kinzhal speed Mach 10 to Mach 12 with the range of 3000 km here: Russia is claiming that the Kh-47M2 Kinzhal aero-ballistic missile will have a range of 3,000 km aboard the Tupolev Tu-22M3 Backfire supersonic bomber. https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/russia-new-kinzhal-aero-ballistic-missile-has-3000-km-range-if-fired-supersonic-bomber
T 22 armed with Khinzahl hypersonic missiles would control the shipping routes in Atlantic in case of American reinforcements being sent to Europe, the T 160 armed with Kh101 can strike targets inside US across the N. Pole.
The best of the best. Protecting Mother Russia and the Free World. Hurra Amen
They’re probably are enlarging Khmeimin air base to handle theses bombers.
Why would Russia expand khmeimin airbase for these bombers ? are they going for Libya or some other far away African county
1.) Russia expand Khmeimin airbase because those bombers represent extra protection for the Russian forces in Syria and possibility to put any kind of significant aggressor force in danger (including air carrier group) in Mediterranean sea. 2.)Thousands kilometers away from the base anything could be a target. They can attack not only African but Asian and NATO targets in Europe as well. If need be.
