Russian strategic bombers made the 19 hour flight over the waters of the North Atlantic

A spokesman for the Air Force’s Colonel Igor Klimov’s press service and information at the Russian Defense Ministry said that two Russian strategic bomber had made an 19 hour flight over the neutral waters of the North Atlantic with two air refueling stations.

According to him, in certain sections of the route, Russian vehicles were accompanied by Typhoon interceptor fighters of the British Air Force, F-16 - Norway and Mirage - France.

“Two strategic bombers Tu-95MS ... successfully completed the tasks of the air patrol plan. The flight route passed through neutral waters in the area of ​​the Barents and Norwegian Seas, the Atlantic Ocean. The flight duration was more than 19 hours ", - RIA quotes Klimov "News".

The colonel stressed that the flight took place in strict accordance with international rules for the use of airspace over neutral waters, the borders of other states were not violated.

Earlier, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu stated that the Russian long-range aviation It will continue flights along the Russian borders and over the water area of ​​the Arctic Ocean, and will also provide a military presence in the western Atlantic and in the eastern Pacific.

Well done keep it up.

During the military operation "Iraqi Freedom" in 2003, B-2 made 27 sorties from Whiteman airbase (Missouri). The duration of sorties was more than 30 hours. During one of the departures B-2 remained in the air without landing for 50 hours

For SWEET_SIXTEEN. Well, why did you publish this here? It’s violet to me how many and where the V-2s flew, and even more so if they have a toilet! Moreover, as you correctly indicated above, the V-2, even with a strong stretch, can hardly be called a strategic bomber!

[Santa Fe]

B-2, even with a stretch, is hardly a strategic bomber!

Because you personally don’t like him?

Northrop B-2 Spirit

Max. take-off weight - 170 tons
Max. speed - 1000 km / h (0,82 M)
Max. range without refueling - 11 000 km
Combat load - 22 ... 27 tons (depending on version)

Freefalling and guided bombs, gliding bombs, cruise missiles

They say "Spirit" has bad, completely unusable handling, yeah

The composition of the avionics bomber includes a unique radar AN / APQ-181 with active headlights installed in the wing. Able to map underlying terrain 240 km wide

Stealth is the most controversial point. From the point of view of engineering logic, there is a place to be - the "flying wing" does not have a keel and any protruding parts on the fuselage. Radar blockers in the air intakes. "Sawtooth" joints of parts and edges of hatches. Ferromagnetic paints and coatings. All this should dramatically reduce the aircraft's signature in comparison with conventional aircraft. And if the "Bear" is spotted 400 km away, the stealth bomber can be spotted much closer - m. for several tens of kilometers. What matters!

Verdict is a powerful and modern strategic bomb carrier with its own "secrets". There are no analogues in the world in terms of the total combat characteristics

Yes, but on the other hand, the Tu-95 uses the Kh-55SM with a range of 3000 km, it does not need to approach enemy bases. And there is X-101/102 with a much greater range of up to 5000 km. The AGM-158 cruise missile of the B-2 aircraft has a maximum range of maximum 800 km, if I'm not mistaken.
In general, of course, the local rya-woodworms pretty much got it. The objective characteristics of foreign technology cause much less interest than any anti-scientific alternative story in the Fomenko style.

Tu-95 uses X-55СМ with a range of 3000 km

It costs millions, even at the new dollar rate.

USAF needs a strategist capable of bombing with conventional QABs and gliding bombs in local wars. Where the enemy has outdated but numerous air defense systems

Quote: Su24

The AGM-158 cruise missile of the B-2 aircraft has a maximum range

JASSM-ER - 980 km

It’s not a problem to build an air-launched cruise missile, for example, AGM-129 ACM (3700 km), it’s another matter that there are no actual tasks for it

Northrop B-2 Spirit - American heavy stealth strategic bomberdeveloped by Northrop Grumman.
Designed to break through dense air defense and delivery of conventional or nuclear weapons. To ensure stealth, stealth technologies are widely used: the aircraft is covered with radar absorbing materials, created according to the “flying wing” aerodynamic scheme, jet jets of engines are shielded.

[Byshido_dis]

How not? Everything is there, an armored curtain opens and its business is done, the main thing at this time is to fly over England or someone else))) Americans, in principle, can also, but they piss and fly in diapers)))

"During one of the sorties, the B-2 remained airborne without landing for 50 hours."

Ha!))) He served in 78-80 years on Novaya Zemlya in air defense. Our eagles were already flying over the North Pole, accompanied by tankers. I don’t remember the exact duration, I don’t want to lie, but: when we went on duty we escorted them to the pole, they left our visibility zones, handed over the shift, rested, and when they started the new shift they met them in the evening, refuellers returned, and bombers and scouts later. The flight duration is exactly commensurate. These are feasible tasks for our aviation, believe me. another question is that the technique is different.

[nadezhiva]

Range of flight:
maximum: 11100 km
combat radius: 5300 km
Flight Duration: up to 6,5 h

Neither the 30th, nor even the 50th hour, smells here. in real life without refueling, this is a large fifty-meter pan with awesome filling. So maybe not hunting for her? The goal is not to miss aircraft tankers that are not provided with stealth technology.

Why is it? Like America anyway cooler? Positive news about how our long-range aviation got off its knees and makes a noise at all, and you shove your Americans here, it’s just not clear what Oleg is for? So what’s your name? what of you climbs something when mentioning Russia !!!

[LvKiller]

As far as I remember, the B-2 can only carry free-falling bombs. That is, he will have to go deeper into the territory protected by air defense, which is clearly not recommended with his "cruising" speed of 900 km / h. This car is generally incomprehensible why it was created ... And the loss of each will be robust enough to beat the owner so well. So the "owner" will ponder, but does he need it? Another "aircraft carrier", that is, a device designed to intimidate the Papuans, who do not know what air defense is.

[Varyag_1973]

For LvKiller. I agree that the loss of one such flying misunderstanding costs 2 lard of green candy wrappers, for comparison TWO "Mistrals" cost 1,2 lard! It is cheaper for mattress makers to bomb the enemy with gold bars than to exploit this misunderstanding of the American aircraft industry! And if anything, then it is invisible only in the brains of American lumpen, our air defense can see it perfectly!

Quote: igorka357

It seems that way.
That is, America is not cooler.
It is from weakness and fear that such decisions are made. Unlike anything, extremely costly, and incomprehensibly adapted to where.
More precisely, it is clear. America wars war only against countries that do not have armies.
In such wars, and these freaks will fit.
Although in Yugoslavia, Stealth was shot down almost from a shotgun ...

But the love of funny pictures is sometimes stronger than logic and real knowledge.

[Byshido_dis]

Not almost, namely from the "shotgun" complex C-75 (great-great-great-great grandfather C400). This complex is a thunderstorm of the sky over Vietnam!)) Shot down a plane worth a BILLION dollars))) 1957 was adopted by the USSR, then propeller-driven aircraft were still in vogue)))

Not only do they play the balalaika, "Bears" also fly easily and simply .. They also make such a nimble. In Russia, everything is different ..

Fine. And then England, oh, how much shake is needed. Their prime minister does not see the coast completely, and now let him deal with arithmetic (how much England remains with the further expansion of the conflict). And this is if you do not take into account the ICBMs.

[Taltanbek]

..... TU-95MS - BEAUTY!
..... Oh, to equip the TU-95MS with SERENS of "special power" and when approaching distant shores to include in the "crumbling of vertebrae into shorts" mode, and the FLASHES of the type BEAR FLIES.

HUSBANDS of Russian and Strategists send to distant shores.

Quote: siberko

By itself.
But the main goal is the practical experience of the crews in studying the theater of possible military operations, as well as the tension of the probable enemy and the waste of his kerosene.

The fact that Western fighters accompanied it well. They too must get used to our military presence in their airspace.

[DIVAN SOLDIER]

The question is, if he was accompanied by NATO fighters, then in case of war he would be destroyed.

[LvKiller]

Are you kidding me, uncle? This would mean for the "carcass" to complete the task. Do you think with your head what it means to bring down a strategist? In addition, the real strategists are always accompanied by fighter aircraft.

[DIVAN SOLDIER]

What didn’t accompany now?

[igorka357]

Now there is peace and quiet on the planet)))), therefore, without cover !!!! But maybe not for long !!!

[igorka357]

They will destroy how to drink ... but firstly, now is not wartime ... bombers go without cover ... all routes are agreed with the countries near which these routes pass. Secondly, he is not alone, in wartime ... while the interception will be occupied by cover, a larger percentage of those in the air will have time to launch missile weapons on board ... you’ll complete the task! This is the combat duty ... in peacetime))) that there are air strategists that are underwater. .. the routes in busy times often change ... and they are not reported to potential opponents, notifying only the allied states .. well, but in wartime they are not known to anyone except the headquarters))). This is the weapon of the apocalypse ... they’re not joking with this and the attitude is very serious, everything is thought out to the smallest detail ... two will be knocked down and eight will be shot back ... !!!!

The first thing that happened after the destruction of the USSR. This is the destruction of our strategic aviation. Ukraine immediately cut all the equipment. Fortunately, Russia has remained. And now, when we resumed flights of strategic aviation, NATO became worried and howled. They are afraid, they are afraid of our strategic aviation.

Ukraine immediately cut all the equipment.

In 1999, an agreement was reached by which Ukraine transferred to Russia eight Tu-160 and three Tu-95 in exchange for writing off part of the debt on gas purchases.

So nefig drive to Ukraine, then Ukrainians did everything right

[Hronyaka]

In 1996-1999, the Ukrainian leadership eliminated 29 strategic missile carriers (10 Tu-160, 19 Tu-95MS) and 487 Kh-55 cruise missiles, which were in service with the Ukrainian Air Force

When they were cut, my father cried. He, as a pilot, really understood what they were cutting and who benefits! Reptiles showed live ((

SWEET_SIXTEEN ...... So nefig drive to Ukraine, then Ukrainians did everything right.


Looking for someone?! In the Ukrainian SSR, 19 Tu-160s were based at the Priluki airbase.
When Ukraine became independent, then:
- 10 pieces were cut under the "Nunn-Lugar" program (under US control and their tools),
and the newest, all with a minimum accumulated resource.
- 1pc left for the museum,
- 8pcs of Tu-160 were transferred to Engels in 1999, + 3pcs of Tu-95ms + about 600 cruise missiles, at the expense of paying the debt for gas (285 million dlr.)
