Tu 22M3 began to perform tasks for the development of airspace over the Mediterranean Sea

The movement of a long-range bomber-missile carrier along the taxiway of an airfield is somewhat similar to the exit to the sea of ​​a large sea liner. A group of long-range aircraft arrived here at the Khmeimim airbase the day before. And now the first combat mission. The Bombers are on course as the generous Syrian sun is just rising over the runway. When the Tu-22M3 takes off from the runway, the entire airspace seems to shudder. This is how long-range aviation goes on a mission.

This is the jet that motivated the design of the Grumman F-14 Tomcat.

[@locoman888]

Really? I find that plausible but your source?

[@becauseiwasinverted5222]

The Tomcat far predates the Tu-22M

Is a Raduga Ch-22 under the wing ?

1:12 wow look at that pilot using a map on his hands🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️. Looks like the TU-22M3 still has the 90s tech still on. These M3 need modernization fast....

@@honeybadger1125 Russia is modernizing most of its armed forces, these planes also will be part of their upgrading programm. Unlike US, theres no huge "planes graveyard" in Russia rotting due to lack of maintenence and spare parts. www.defensenews.com/naval/2017/02/06/grounded-nearly-two-thirds-of-us-navys-strike-fighters-cant-fly/

@@itinensanzen The difference of that report is that the U.S is spending billions on their F-35B/C & the new F/A-XX so their new software kits isn't going to the aging F-18 thats why they are grounded. But Russia in the other hand is in a BAAAD shape. Since the collapse of the USSR Russia lost everything & could no longer invest in their arsenal, so thats why they focus on things like, submarines, frigates & a few planes . If Russia was to fully modernize every single weapon they have they would loose all their money in an instant cause its too much money & time to do upgrades.

Pretty reliable i may add. Unlike the 1 trillion dollar F35 "invisible jet" that is plagued with serious problems and will never be combat ready. www.defensenews.com/naval/2017/02/06/grounded-nearly-two-thirds-of-us-navys-strike-fighters-cant-fly/
