A pair of Russian strategic missile carriers Tu-95MS conducted scheduled flights over the Sea of ​​Japan

Russian Far aviation continues to conduct scheduled flights along the borders of our state, the next two Tu-95MS strategic missile carriers made a long flight over the neutral waters of the Sea of ​​Japan. This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Defense.

According to the military department, a pair of Tu-95MS flew over the neutral waters of the Sea of ​​Japan for 7 hours without entering the airspace of other states. In some areas of the flight, the strategists were accompanied by Su-30SM and Su-35S fighters of the Air Force and Air Defense units of the Eastern Military District. As part of the flight, the crews of the Russian Tu-95MS strategic missile carriers worked out the assigned tasks.

Long-range aviation pilots regularly fly over the neutral waters of the Arctic, the North Atlantic, the Black and Baltic Seas, and the Pacific Ocean. All flights of aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces are carried out in strict accordance with international rules for the use of airspace

- it is spoken in the message of the Ministry of Defense.

The Tu-95MS strategic missile carrier is the airborne component of Russia's nuclear triad. The aircraft is designed to solve strike missions to defeat the most important targets in remote areas and deep in the rear of continental theaters of military operations. Currently, all Tu-95MS in service are undergoing modernization, within which they receive new capabilities.

The upgraded "Bear" will be able to carry six in the internal compartment, and 16 of the latest Kh-101 missiles on external slings, while completely losing the ability to perform the functions of a simple bomber. Also, new engines, new cockpit avionics, as well as an on-board radio-electronic complex with an integrated information and control environment are installed on the aircraft.

For its time it was good. But hasn't his time passed?

Hold your horses. Take a look at the amers with their B52. I'm not saying that you need to take an example from them in everything, but they are not idiots and not fools.

I just can not understand the purpose of such articles in our media. Well, they flew off, didn’t fall, didn’t hurt anyone ... and the Volga flows into the Caspian Sea. And in summer it's better than in winter .... What did the author want to tell us that they still fly? Well, let's talk about each takeoff and landing ... the paper will endure.

I explain the B-52 flew up to our borders, this is an answer. If you do not inform the population will have a legitimate question. They fly near our borders, but where are we?

For planning superheavy FABs, this is it. Without entering the enemy air defense zone.

It is also quite suitable for the NMD, only the fear of the Ukrainian air defense, which the NATO forces are strengthening with new complexes, limits its use. And there will be nothing to compensate for the losses (thanks to the genius of Taburetkin and his comrades).
