A pair of Tu-160 strategists flew to Chukotka as part of the exercises




As part of the flight technical exercises of long-range aircraft conducted under the personal leadership of the commander of the DA VKS of the Russian Federation, Lieutenant General Sergei Kobylash, a pair of strategic missile carriers Tu-160, making a long flight, landed at the Anadyr airport in Chukotka.

Two Tu-160 long-range strategic missile carriers completed a long non-stop flight from a deployment point to Anadyr airfield

- said in a statement.

At the same time, it is specified that Russian strategists spent more than eight hours in the air, breaking over 6 thousand kilometers during this time. The flight took place without refueling.

In total, the exercises, which will last until the end of the week, involve about 10 long-range aircraft, including the Tu-160, Tu-95MS, Il-78. The main task is to develop relocation to operational airfields and to refuel in the air.

      Well, the USSR didn’t have these strategists there, like dogs that weren’t chopped, you can’t keep an eye on them, and now, there are 3 dozen on watch. Of course the event.

      Well, they are not assigned Heroes for this departure. Just now a moronic information system has formed in the world. In Soviet times, it was unthinkable for media to report on military developments, all the more so with a deadline of one, three, five years. They would put a minimum in a psychiatric hospital or frighten them in the office in such a way that, besides a janitor in the outback, these journalists would have found a job where.

        I totally agree.
        But it "kills" me, and this
        involved about 10 aircraft

        What is this "about"? Well, you don't know for sure, keep quiet. You know, tell me. And so, not fish, not meat.

            Yes, in Soviet times, for this "about" from the factory large circulation was kicked out.
            I’ll present the heading, "Turner Ivanov has carved about N number of details above the plan ....", I even feel sorry for such an unemployed person.

              P.S. Stepan, you have a very good name. My great-grandfather served in the Nikolayevsky ceremonial regiment, as it is now "presidential". He went over to the side of the Reds with his squad. He served with Budyonny. He lived for 92 years ... In the photo, great-grandfather with his wife, great-grandmother Vera ...

        I will never forget when we were pulled out of the Easter celebration by alarm and thrown to Severomorsk. Some kind of Yankesian trough was drawn in the Atlantic and urgently needed to be copied. We had +20, there -10 and snow according to Faberge. Arrived in alarm and flew away in overalls on vests. We stayed there for a week. That was "beauty".

      Well, this is not a jumping airfield, but a pretty decent Ugolnaya air base in Ugolny Kopi (it was). In Soviet times, it was even large. It took all types of aircraft, including bombers. I had my own regiment of interceptors. Now I have international status. I am very happy that we are restoring former power in the underbelly of Americans.

        Do not think that the jump airfield is some kind of seedy dirt area. Anything that is not a base airfield is considered a jump airfield if it is used by foreign aircraft to perform missions. For us, as a rule, these were very solid airfields such as Severomorsk-1, Olenya, Engels ... The smaller ones simply could not accept

          In the course. For you who served on other bases, yes, it is a jump airfield. Airports at the border cannot be the main ones for such a technique, it’s very dangerous. I wrote to broaden my horizons about its functioning.

    It’s interesting if I saw them above the Ekb on the 10 number?))) The couple walked just in a picture — the sky was cloudless, in places there was a haze that was practically invisible and the sun was shining in their tails, a long shadow stretched forward through the haze. And I could not take a picture (the device did not pull out)

        Greetings, Vyacheslav hi I see no reason to spend about 100K on a camera and optics, which I use a few days of the year. Yes, and here I still did not have time to focus, until the bombers came out of the haze and the shadows disappeared. And in the clear sky is not so beautiful. They go high, they themselves are barely visible. Only the inversion trail stretches. smile
