Russian "strategists" Tu-95 and Tu-160 will receive new opportunities

The Russian fleet of strategic bombers will undergo modernization, which will give the machines new opportunities.

In particular, the state tests of the Tu-95MSM with the modified NK-12MPM engine are nearing completion, Interfax reports. Advanced engines will expand the range of the missile carrier and take on board up to 16 units of the latest X-101 cruise missiles. Now they can be placed not only on the drum launcher inside the body, but also under the wings on the beam holders.

In addition, it became known that the first Tu-160M missile carrier built in the Russian Federation, without significant use of Soviet reserves, is expected to be transferred to the military in the 2021 year, Interfax writes. Earlier it was mentioned the plans of the Ministry of Defense to order the latest machines to 50.

In addition, plans were announced for the modernization of machines of this type already in operation. "White Swans" will also receive an updated arsenal of weapons and increased range.

The "strategists" Tu-95 and Tu-160 are the airborne component of the Russian nuclear triad. They carry cruise missiles with conventional or nuclear warheads designed to destroy ground targets or naval convoys of the enemy.

From 1983 to 1995, 36 Tu-95MS aircraft were produced .. This is a one-year Tu-160 and Tu-22M3 aircraft. Why is it called ancient? This is a fallacy. There are about 30 aircraft on the armament. Probably mainly factory Tu-95 MS, but not modified to them .... They will be upgraded to Tu-95MSM .. According to some information, the contract is concluded, according to others it will be concluded after tests that are being carried out ... The author incorrectly indicated the type of missiles , and in general there is little information in the article ... It will carry 16 new X-50 missiles, they are smaller than the X-101, a range of 1500 km, with the tracking of the coordinates of the target in real time on board in the air (Cheers, Hephaestus! Again the guys excelled, and on the Tu-22M3M they are also there) ...

Touched designers for the modernization of the Tu-160 for 50 years! Tu-95 probably still 20 years ... As well as the B-52. The plane of the mid 50s of the last century is planned to operate until 50. 21 centuries

[okko077]

Touched designers for the modernization of the Tu-160 for 50 years!

The Tu-160 is not a resource wing design. Aircraft with an inverter is an outdated design, and for another 50 years the modernized Tu-160s will not fly, even though the rotary assembly is made of titanium. The Tu-160 has a frantic load on the wing and the rotary assembly. If only to change the wing!
The Tu-95 does not have this problem and the upgraded ones will fly not 20, but all 50 years, if necessary ...

They will not bomb the KAB .. Substitute a strategic missile carrier under air defense? Our unfinished KABs have a range of only 10-15 km, unlike the American planes - over 100 km ... And this is not enough for a missile carrier. Tu-95MSM, except for the X-101 with a range of 5500, will be armed with an x-50 with a range of 1500 , cheaper and more angry ... In the X-50, coordinates are entered on the botra in real time. This is typical for network-centric systems of the future ... X-101 - only on the ground before departure, until ..

[Zaurbek]

You can wait for a real war for a hundred years .... But against the air defense systems of the Russian Federation, it fought only in Georgia. The same FAB 500, 100, 1500 with satellite and laser correction, it is quite possible to reset and maintain ground forces at a distance. We do not have so many bases around the world. And sometimes you need to urgently deliver to a target where there is no adult air defense cargo.

Because the Tu-160 has a range that front-line, tactical aviation does not. And operations are against the enemy without normal air defense. Sometimes this approach is justified, and therefore the question is quite substantial.

I read somewhere that the X-101/102 of the Tu-95 doesn’t climb into the bomb bay at all, they can only carry them on external sling.

[okko077]

The author is raving, and we will help you !! The Tu-95MSM will carry 16 X-50s ... They are smaller ... The weight of the X-101 is almost 2,5 tons .. And the normal combat load of the Tu-95MSM is about 10 tons ... It can carry 4 such missiles, as in Syria was used ...

Only four speak?

[okko077]

Tu-95MS with incomplete fuel loading can take about 20 tons of combat load. The wiki is written nonsense, and the author repeats it:

The Tu-95MS, which is the backbone of strategic aviation in Russia, is the carrier of the X-55 cruise missiles. In the modification of the Tu-95MS6, six such missiles are located in the cargo compartment on the multi-position drum launcher. In the modification of the Tu-95MS16, in addition to the fuselage launcher, the suspension of ten more X-55 missiles on four underwing holders is provided and an SURO (missile weapon control system) similar to the Tu-160 is installed. Equipment for free-falling ammunition from the aircraft dismantled. Currently, the Tu-95MS is being modernized on a planned basis. Especially for the new missiles on the Tu-95MS, the bomb compartment has been increased, and eight external beams have been installed on which 16 X-101 cruise missiles can be mounted. [9]

It turns out that MSM can raise 40 tons of combat load? You believe ? Me not...

[anjey]

I am constantly amazed at why the X-101 is constantly positioned and not the X-102 with nuclear warheads.
Tu-95 is a STRATEGY and not just "bombed out toilets" in the distant expanses.
Under the USSR, the Kh-55 was clearly meant for the foe, as nuclear, without any wagging. I am not against "ironing" the barmaley in Syria by our CD for real training, but I still want the enemies behind a puddle in Europe, sometimes from fear , turn on their brains ...

[Sky strike fighter]

Because only X-101 is actually used in fact, X-102 is the Doomsday weapon. Moreover, in Syria the X-101 range was unnecessary, it would have to be fired from the Far East in order to make full use of the characteristics of the X-101, therefore they create X-50.

But, perhaps, the main thing is to equip the aircraft with new X-101 and X-102 cruise missiles. The first has a high-explosive filling, the second has a nuclear warhead with a capacity of 250 kilotons.

The unique ultra-long air-to-surface missile was created at the Fakel design bureau for more than ten years. The designers managed to combine in it a flight range of 5500 kilometers and a probable circular deviation of 5-6 meters. At the same time, the rocket has a variable flight profile and reduced visibility (EPR of the order of 0,01 sq.m.), due to which it is able to break through the enemy’s missile defense. The altitudes at which the flight passes are from 30 m to 10000 m. The maximum speed is transonic. The mass of the warhead of the non-nuclear X-101 is 400 kg.

https://svpressa.ru/war21/article/152935/

Under the USSR, the X-55 was clearly implied to the adversary as nuclear, without any wiggle.

But what about the modifications created on its basis? Non-nuclear X-65 and its anti-ship version of the X-65C, export anti-ship X-65SE based on the same nuclear X-55.

[anjey]

The X-101 range was declared at 5000 km and from the Far East to Syria, 8 thousand km

[Pete mitchell]

dear, your idea is in principle clear and understandable, could you clarify the range

Quote: anjey

.... thousand with a km

[Sky strike fighter]

Here is information on non-nuclear modifications of the X-55.

In the mid-1980s, a cruise missile equipped with a conventional warhead (high-explosive or cluster) was created on the basis of the X-55 missile launcher "Raduga" in the ICB Raduga. She received the designation X-65.

The X-65 itself was shown for the first time in 1993 (in February - Abu Dhabi, and in September - in Zhukovsky and Nizhny Novgorod).
The X-65 missile can be used both from Tu-95 and Tu-160 strategic bombers, and from fighter-bombers, respectively, from MKU-6-5 rotary launch devices or ordinary beam launch devices. The Kh-65 can be launched from a height of up to 12 km at a carrier aircraft speed of 540-1050 km / h. The Kh-65SE
X-65 control system is inertial with correction according to the terrain.
The X-65 missile has been tested since the late 80s, but there is no evidence of its adoption.

To defeat surface ships with an effective dispersion surface of 300 m2 in the conditions of strong electronic countermeasures, the Kh-55SE anti-ship missile was created on the basis of the X-65. In its characteristics, it differs from the X-65 only in firing range (250 km when launched at low and 280 km at high altitudes) and a control system. The warhead of the high-explosive cumulative-explosive weighing 410 kg.
A carrier aircraft (Tu-22M3 or another) can launch an X-65SE rocket from a height of 0,1 to 12 km at a speed of 540-1050 km / h for a sea target, the coordinates of which are known only tentatively. The rocket is launched on the principle of "shot and forgot."
