The network has a video refueling "White Swans" at a speed of 600 km / h

A video of the training of Russian strategic missile carriers Tu-160 White Swan appeared on the Web. The video was posted by the Russian Ministry of Defense on its YouTube channel.

On the website of the Russian military department, it is noted that the missile carriers spent more than eight hours in the air, practicing refueling at an altitude of more than five kilometers and at a speed of 600 km / h. Refueling was carried out from IL-78 tankers. It is noted that air refueling was complicated by bad weather conditions, in particular, a strong crosswind, and the aircraft were refueling at a distance of no more than 30 meters.

The Ministry of Defense explained that about ten aircraft of the Far aviation Russian Aerospace Forces taking off from airfields in different regions of Russia. Refueling was carried out in the daytime and at night.

Refueling in the air as one of the most difficult elements of flight training is a necessary element in the training of long-range pilots, which can significantly increase the combat radius of action and perform missions for the mission at a great distance from the base

- it is spoken in the message of military department.

Your questions are strange. Partisan?

[Grigory_45]

Quote: primaala

Strange questions you have

they are strange for someone who does not understand the role of air tankers. And the questions at KVK1 were purely rhetorical.
Now almost all Russian Air Force planes have the ability to refuel in the air, but ... who will they refuel from? In service - only 15 (!!!) tankers. Is it not enough? This is catastrophically small. And how many combat pilots can competently carry out this very difficult operation, like refueling in the air?
For example: in the Air Force and the US Navy, refueling in the air is a routine operation.

[Aviator_]

Even the Argentine pilots on the Super-Ethanders refueled several times in 1982 to slam the British with Exocet missiles at the ships. True, this did not save Argentina from defeat in the Falklands War.

[URAL72]

Oh well, 15 ??? Firstly, a little more, and secondly, with the UPAZ container, you can refuel from the Su-24, but it must be assumed that the Su-34 have such an opportunity. And there is also a pair of IL-96, and the plans are even grander, even on the IL-112.

[Grigory_45]

Quote: URAL72

Oh well, 15 ???

how much. The list number of tankers in the Russian Air Force is precisely this - 5 Il-78 and 10 Il-78M, how many of them are in flight-suitable condition is not known

Quote: URAL72

secondly, with the UPAZ container, you can refuel from the Su-24

this does not solve the problem. Especially for long-range and strategic aviation

number of tankers in the enemy air force (one, without NATO) -520 (again, it is not known about serviceability)
and I read somewhere that almost all pilots in the enemy’s air force have the skill of refueling and are constantly working on it ....

[kit88]

So it’s you who went to the wrong site. The country was a little mistaken. You need an American VO. And there, ask local US patriots - why do they need 520 tankers if the General Staff of the Russian Federation considers that 15 is enough for effective defense of such a huge country like Russia?
Or maybe they’re not thinking about the defense of their country at all and (scary to think about it) what else? Huh?

Quote: kit88

The General Staff of the Russian Federation considers that 15 is enough for effective defense of such a huge country as Russia

he (GS) does not think so. Where did you get this information?

Not so long ago, the Air Force command wanted to receive several dozen new air tankers by 2025. However ... we have tankers, and the latest fighters, and ten aircraft carriers, and thirty-three destroyers.
Plans remained plans.

PS - if we have few tankers, this does not mean that they are enough.

[kit88]

Uh, brother, where did you go ....
Of course, the general headquarters of any country would like to have 20 aircraft carriers and 1333 destroyers without damage to the economy. And what is there in the plans of the General Staff of the Russian Federation I do not know. Maybe in 2030 Mars plans to conquer, well, or more modestly - to project the force on which area is going - this requires "several dozen new air tankers."

Is it enough now15?
Looking for what.
For me, the answer is simple.
Milosevic was not enough.
Saddam didn't have enough.
Gaddafi was not enough.

We have? So to speak. Sufficient minimum necessary to maintain independence.

[KVK1]

20 aircraft carriers and 1333 destroyers without prejudice to the economy, of course, the general headquarters of any country would like to have available.

that's me gnawing questions
where does the money go?
one friend told me here -185 million a day without taking into account military operations in Syria
those. for "devour", toilet paper and pencils for the headquarters
Of course, they will do one SU57 per year ...
no money left....

[kit88]

You know, for any complaint that there is not enough money, there is a killer answer:
- And you earn more.

I do not consider it necessary to take money from the Moscow Region. He needs 185 rubles, so give him two hundred and let him come again tomorrow for the money.
But where to get them / earn it - gentlemen, think economist and lawyers. Think well. So much so that not the last shirt to be torn off from the proletariat and not taxed with the 1001st tax of a small shopkeeper.

[Sarmat Sanych]

Grigory_45, so the Americans also wanted to have hypersonic weapons and normal air defense and new strategic nuclear submarines to replace the decrepit 30-year-old Ohio and much more. And as a result, their crippled multibillion-dollar Patriots do not even shoot down the Houthis' old whistles in Saudi Arabia and Iranian rarities in Iraq, out of 11 aircraft carriers on the move only one half a year, Columbia will be the first to arrive at the best in 2031 (by which they can lose their nuclear potential) , replacement of 30-year-old SLBMs and 47-year-old "minutemans" is not even planned for 20 years, "hypersound" is only in Chinese plastic models. Do we remember Masyanya?). And after all, this is, with an endless printing press, trillions of $ plus a military budget higher in total than that of the rest of the planet, not horse feed.

[McDonnell Douglas]

I really don’t understand
why the Russian Aerospace Forces are enough 15 boards and the enemy needs 520

In the event of a full-fledged war, our losses will be less than that of the enemy. The statistics will be such that for every refueling tank we lost, there will be 35 enemy flying tankers ...

[figwam]

Quote: KVK1

and the enemy needs 520

Basically, they are doing this with the Navy, in case it is impossible to land on an aircraft carrier, refueling in the air is a vital skill when flying over the sea.

why so
I, as a citizen of Russia, are very worried about the state of our armed forces.
and in particular the videoconferencing.
cares why so few tankers we have
and generally cares why there are so few planes
why for the whole year they made only one SU57 (and he lost)
why, instead of building 100 SU57 for the Russian VKS, you need to carry missiles and shells to Syria
why should Assad be helped, what did he do good for Russia?
do we have no Slavic peoples who need help? for example Serbia
and another 100 "why and why"

It remains to find out what has been done good for Russia recently by Slavic peoples, such as Serbia or Bulgaria, and in which they need help.

[KVK1]

start with a story
from the same Turkish wars where Russia and Bulgaria and Serbia fought shoulder to shoulder
and with whom did you fight? yes with the same Turks (who were recently brothers in modern Russia)
a common history, a common language (you know that the Serbian language is much closer to Russian than Ukrainian), a common religion (I do not want to understand the Alawites, Shiites and other varieties ... who is our "friend", and who is now "enemy", but yesterday there was a "friend")
who is now in Europe the only country that supports Russia? while being surrounded by EU countries?
and which country accepted refugees after the 1917 revolution? in Serbia, Montenegro there are Russian cemeteries, which are looked after by locals.
what does Syria have to do with it? what does the dentist have to do with his dad? how did they come to power? why do they personally me?

[McDonnell Douglas]

We must help Syria, because from time immemorial, from the Neolithic period in Hmeimim and Tartus our bases were located.
This is our historical mission, so to speak, even there are Russian folk songs about it.

Do you remember how it all began
Adam and Eve met in Eden *,
And in Hmeimim our base was in its infancy,
It supplied us through Tartus.
