Tu-22M3: time to retire?

275


The very meaning of military aviation lay in the creation of bombers. It was the attack of objects and groupings of troops from the air that was the main goal. Then designers began to think about creating fighters to gain air supremacy. Before the advent of the bombers, no one needed this domination.

And now bombers can be attributed to the main combat unit of the Air Force. True, they are now harder and smarter. More precisely, it is no longer “Ilya of Murom”.

Tu-22M3: time to retire?

Bomber Ilya Muromets


Now it is fighter-bombers. They can effectively hit both ground targets and stand up for themselves. The reduction in the number of classic interceptors, or fighters, began actively with the departure from the scene of the USSR. Now there are no serious fighters in the sky, so modern cars are trying to make more versatile. For example, F / A-18SH, F-16, F-35, F-15SE - all fighter-bombers. At its core, to summarize roughly, they are similar to Su-34, Mig-35.

There was also a separate class of more classic bombers. Such as B-2, B-52, Tu-95, Tu-22М3, Tu-160, etc. Their main disadvantage is that they can not stand up for themselves in air combat, but there are also some advantages.

However, it is nevertheless necessary to single out the Tu-22М3 from the total number. He is a long-range bomber, not a strategic one. Long-range aviation, in general, is something special for our stories. While the West with the passage of time and the development of technology went to the strategists, we continued to improve long-range bombers in parallel with the strategic ones. Now only two countries have long-range aviation - this is China with a copy of our Tu-16 and, naturally, the Russian Aerospace Force of the Russian Federation with the Tu-22М3.


Chinese copy of the Tu-16 (Xian H-6)


So why do we need long-range aviation when the whole west refused it? At the time of the Union, it was certainly a formidable force. And with the advent of the Tu-22, it only increased. The first Tu-22 and modern Tu-22М3 are completely different machines (albeit with similar indices). Omit the stages of development of the Tu-22 and go directly to the Tu-22М3.

The first flight of the Tu-22М3 took place in 1977. Serial production began in 1978, and lasted until the 1993 year. According to its tasks, it was not even a bomber, it is, rather, a missile carrier. His main task was to "deliver" missiles X-22. In standard loading, the Tu-22М3 was supposed to carry two missiles under the wing on each side, but could also take another under the fuselage.


Mount X-22 missiles under the fuselage of the Tu-22М3


The X-22 were of various modifications: with an active homing head (anti-ship), with a passive head (anti-radar modification) and guided by the ANN (the progenitor of modern Calibrov and Tomahawks). A feature of these missiles was a huge range for that time - 400 km, and according to some information, to 600 km! Naturally, for their guidance, serious intelligence and external central commandment were required, with which there were no problems in the Union either (for example, Tu-95РЦ)! Another huge advantage of the X-22 was the supersonic flight speed. For the air defense of that time, it remained a very tough nut to crack.

The first flaws of the X-22 began to appear already in the 80-x. With all the uniqueness of this rocket, its development was launched in 1958, and the creation of RCC with ARLGSN for that time was a very nontrivial task. Even now, in many missiles (for the sake of justice, not RCC, but, rather, SAM), the use of ARLGHSN does not always take place due to the complexity of implementation and the increase in mass. Therefore, in 80-x already have questions about the X-22 noise immunity. But this should not put an end to its application. As an example, we can recall the Fokland war. Argentina was bombarded with unexploded “cast iron” by the praised fleet of Her Majesty. If they had a couple of squadrons of Tu-22М3 and X-22, the Focklands would have a different owner, and London would become a district of Argentina.

However, in actual combat, the Tu-22М3 with the X-22 missile was not particularly noted. Dear unique bomber basically served as a simple bomber. The ability to carry FAB was rather a pleasant advantage than the main task. Often Tu-22М3 was used in Afghanistan, in places where front bombers had a hard time reaching out. It should be especially noted when the Tu-22М3 "leveled off" the mountains of Afgan during the withdrawal of Soviet troops, covering our caravans. And all this time the most complicated and intelligent machine was used as a “pig-iron” distribution.

It should also be mentioned about the use of Tu-22М3 in Chechnya, it is particularly interesting that he dropped light bombs. And, of course, the apogee is the use of Tu-22М3 in Georgia, which ended up very sad.

Now let's talk: Do we need Tu-22М3 now? Was it needed in the nineties and now, in the twenty-first century? Definitely, modernization is necessary to continue its life cycle. It had to consist in the appearance of the new X-32 rocket. But is it unique and new? X-32 is nothing more than the development of X-22 while preserving all its archaic and flaws for modern times. The lesser of the evils is noise immunity. Perhaps, on X-32 it was planned to use a fairly modern ARLGSN, for example, from the X-35 rocket. But there is still a live rocket engine. And this is perhaps the stupidest decision for a modern rocket. The complexity of the operation of the LRE is the high toxicity of the components, the risk of fire when in contact with the oxidizer, the need for constant and qualified maintenance. At cost, this does not go to any comparison, not only with a solid-fuel engine, but also with a compact TRD. An RCD on a PKR can only be found that in China (but they fly to the Tu-16), which they are gradually removed from duty (for more details on China’s CRP here: Part 1-I, Part 2-I), and maybe North Korea. The whole modern world has long abandoned such engines.


Rocket X-35


Another X-32 problem is the flight profile. To achieve the stated characteristics of the range it needs to go at a huge height in rarefied atmospheric layers. Even a pseudo-combined flight profile is still excessively high, as the rockets attack the ship by diving. A high-altitude flight is a gift for a “blue-plate saucer” for modern air defense systems. In addition, this almost six-ton ​​carcass, rushing against the background of space, will be less dangerous than a boat with an RPG-7 for a modern destroyer or frigate.


X-22 / 32 Missile Flight Profile


As a development of the Tu-22М3, an option was implemented with the placement of X-15 aeroballistic missiles on it, which already have a modern solid-fuel engine. In addition, they can be placed in the internal compartments of the Tu-22М3. It would seem to be a fairly modern solution, but we turn to world experience. Its counterpart is AGM-69A SRAM, developed in 60-ies in the United States. And for its replacement, AGM-131 SRAM II was developed at the end of 80-x. However, this rocket did not go into the series. One of the reasons is the end of the Cold War. But there is another reason - the development of air defense systems. Both AGM-131 and X-15 possess a ballistic flight path, which is a good gift for modern radars.

Prototype AGM-131a SRAM II


It is worth considering the option of equipping the Tu-22М3 with modern X-101 / 102 cruise missiles, which are fully suitable for the "Carcass" in terms of weight and dimensions. However, one nuance arises - the range of the Tu-22М3 is substantially less than that of the strategic Tu-160. Rockets, in contrast to the “White Swan”, will be on the external sling, and therefore will also contribute to the reduction of the radius of action. And there is no refueling bar on Tu-22М3. However, even its equipment with a refueling bar does not fundamentally save the situation. The reason is that it is two-engine, and this greatly affects the safety of flying over the ocean. By analogy, in civil aviation there is the concept of ETOPS, which determines how far the aircraft can be removed from the nearest airfield (the parameter is given in minutes of flight). Only modern aircraft with modern engines were able to reach more or less significant values ​​by ETOPS (among other things, this requires highly qualified staff). In military aviation, there is no such thing, but it is quite clear that the old aircraft with not the most modern engines will not be able to provide the required safety. Of course, the performance of a combat mission may be more important than life, but the theory of Japanese kamikazes is very far from ideal! On X-101 / 102, it is impossible not to note a more scrupulous moment. When placed on the Tu-22М3, it automatically falls under the START Treaty. And when the "Carcasses" become the carriers of nuclear missiles, the number of real warheads will need to be reduced (follows from the START Treaty).


Rocket X-101 / 102


So what can be done to extend the life cycle of the Tu-22M3? It had to be adapted to modern types of missiles, of which we have plenty. For example, he could become a carrier of P-700. Given its weight, which is about two times less than the X-22. We can assume the possibility of placing two missiles on each side, and at least one under the fuselage. But the P-700 is also not ideal. It is better to put a "Caliber" ZM-54 with a low-altitude flight profile and a supersonic warhead. By analogy with the 3М-14, for a non-export variant, the potential in range can be at least as good as the X-22 (naturally, with an external DD).


Rocket 3M-54 "Caliber"


But all this for the Tu-22М3 would be a waste of budgetary funds due to the inefficiency of the aircraft itself in modern conditions. It would be possible to justify such modernization if the Tu-22М3 was still produced, but for modern Russia it is not only impossible, but absolutely not necessary. Modernization of the remaining park is also a very controversial issue. To begin with, according to data from open sources, about 40 "Carcasses" are in a flying state. All others are written off due to the release of the resource. In their production, no one has ever thought about the magnitude of the ESR. The huge car is perfectly visible on the radar. The low-altitude flight units have been removed from all Tu-22М3. The EW Tu-22М3 complex had a lot of problems in fine-tuning, therefore group departures were supposed to cover EW Tu-16P aircraft, which have not been in service for a long time. The version of a full-fledged EW aircraft based on Tu-22М3 was not made.

In addition, every departure of the Tu-22М3 must be accompanied by cover planes, since the “Carcass” cannot stand up for itself. An example would be a company in Syria, where Tupole was covered by Su-30CM. In this regard, the question arises about the only advantage of the Tu-22М3 - its flight range. If in any case they should be covered by escort airplanes, whose flight range is shorter. Those. either escort planes should be met by a refueling truck, or they should be based closer to the target than the “Carcass” departure aerodrome (which was the case in Syria). Then what is the advantage of range?

In addition, heavy anti-ship missiles can now not only Tu-22М3. Frontline aviation does not stand still, and since the days of Afghanistan has gone far ahead. For example, Su-30CM copes with the delivery of the P-700. Theoretically, Su-34, well, or Su-35С, can carry two or three 3М-54 missiles. The question remains in range. The distillation range of the "Carcass" is about 7000 km, the Su-34 range with one PTB is approximately 4500 km. Of course, there is a difference, but the most important thing is that the Su-34 can stand up for itself. Or in its place may be, for example, Su-35C with a range of 4000 km with one PTB, which will surely stand for itself. At the same time, on the Su-35 it is possible to hang, in addition to the two “Caliber” anti-ship missiles, another pair of RVV-SD and two RVV-MD, in addition also containers of EW “Khabin”. Calculate the distance with all the body kit is impossible, and no one will give such data. But do not forget that the range of the Tu-22М3 will drop dramatically, since the rockets will also be on the external suspension, and the HK-25 due to its venerable age does not have a hefty appetite!

Where did the modernization of the Tu-22М3 go? Installation of the complex "Gefest" (SVP-24-22) for navigation and the formation of aiming modes. It helped to more accurately throw fabs in Syria. And again, the expensive and sophisticated rocket carrier acted as a delivery of "pig-iron" pigs on the heads of terrorists. The creators did not prepare such a fate for him. The flight hour of a car of this class costs a fortune, it is much more expensive to operate than the Su-34. The operating time of the engineering staff is much longer per flight hour than that of front-line bombers. At least two people more crew.


Monitors SVP-24-22 in the cabin Tu-22М3


In addition, he has very controversial engines for modern times. NK-25 is based on the old NK-144. But the NK-25 is also a three-shaft engine. At such a complication of the design, we went because of the absence, at that time, of more optimal technologies for increasing power. Diagnosis of three-shaft engines is a very non-trivial task, due to the complexity of access to many nodes, and especially supports. At the same time from open sources, NK-25 has a very modest resource - about 1500. For comparison, the F-135 engine, with a weight per ton less, produces almost comparable thrust at the unforced mode (it is much simpler to increase the afterburner than the unforced mode, therefore we do not take it into account), has a simpler turbine design and is two-shaft.

All this directly affects the cost of service "carcass".


NK-25 engine turbine section


So where could the money be diverted for servicing the Tu-22М3 fleet? For example, the purchase of Su-34, bringing them to avionics to the possibility of using the RR “Caliber”. This option, with a bunch of advantages, has only a disadvantage in the quality of the range, which was already mentioned above. And who is much more “cheaper” to pour in FABs than the missile carrier Tu-22М3? Well, for example, IL-112, or MTS (work on it is suspended, but this is another story), at least, it will be much cheaper with comparable efficiency (more on using transport workers as bombers Antonov Bombers). Enough to put the NKPB-6, well, or a container for the control center (what the hell is not joking!) At the same time, our military transport aviation also needs them like air.

Scope NKPB-6 from military transport aircraft An-26


Do we need modern long-range aviation in Russia? The key here is precisely “modern”, and not Tu-22М3. Of course, needed, only with a completely different aircraft. Let it not be for readers a serious shock, but the prototype should serve as the American experimental YF-23. It was he, but in scale. The design of the keels allows you to go on a supersonic flight, while maintaining low visibility for radar. A kind of compromise between the flying wing and supersonic. Between the engines you need to increase the distance for a long compartment of weapons, which could put two missiles "Caliber" or P-700. Additionally, a pair of side compartments for RVV-SD and RVV-MD, BRLS AFAR "Belka", built-in container for the control center ("ala" EOTS JSF). And there are almost even engines - Р79В-300, the afterburner of which was planned to be brought to 20 tons. But these are all dreams, all this another time and in another country.

    Now there are no serious fighters in the sky- I'm sorry, what??
    I do not agree with the article, the West has refused a lot of things, and we need long-range aviation! these are only satellites near the ovaries, and we have Europe, China, and everything else, where strategists are driven too much.

      Tu22m3 has grown old, his Kh22 missile has also grown old, but the GOALS for this aircraft, as they were and have remained, is the EUROPEAN THEATER of action. There is only one conclusion: modernization of the aircraft aimed at lowering maintenance costs, increasing the overhaul life of components and the entire aircraft. Weapons for it are caliber and ha35, but the engines need to be changed to more modern if of course we want to extend the life of this very good bomber aircraft ...

        Consultations, hike, were like "under a snack" wassat

        The article mixed conily, but the concept of using Tu at the present time is not defined.
        But she is simple. Potential cross-border conflicts over which this machine can work from the depths of the territory is mass.
        And here to write off a working machine for a penny, by the standards of the budget, savings, leaving a void - this is some kind of young reformism.

        And the fact that the Westerners do not have YES is because the States have long entered NATO on the topic of bombers, and they do not need long-range guns. But Canada is not Honduras with Guadeloupe.

        Putting the removed / new equipment on the carcasses is not a problem.

        Replacing Dryers -
        Su-35С with a range of 4000 km with one PTB, which certainly stands up for itself. At the same time, on the Su-35, you can hang, in addition to two Caliber RCCs, a couple of RVV-SD and two RVV-MD, in addition to the Khabina electronic warfare containers. It is impossible to calculate the range with all body kits ..

        Su-34, well, or Su-35С, will be able to carry two or three 3M-54 missiles. There will be a question on range. The driving range of the “Carcass” is about 7000 km, the range of the Su-34 with one ATG is approximately 4500 km. Of course there is a difference, but the most important thing is that the Su-34 can stand up for itself.

        With such "body kits" Dryers can only lie down for themselves! And that's not far. laughing

        The idea of ​​replacing the supersonic at the breakthrough of the anti-aircraft bomber with subsonic transporters arose, apparently, when the snack ended wassat

        And with the "successor prototype" it turned out to be an enchanting Lego-scrambled eggs: we take amerovsky under-underderwaffe "on a scale", here we will stretch, here we will expand, here we will stick "Caliber" ... General designers nervously smoke around the corner.

          But how does supersonic now penetrate modern air defense? Sonic boom? And how will subsonic b-2 or the package deal with this?

                        But she is simple. Potential cross-border conflicts over which this machine can work from the depths of the territory is mass.
                        And here to write off a working machine for a penny, by the standards of the budget, savings, leaving a void - this is some kind of young reformism.

                        And the fact that the Westerners do not have YES is because the States have long entered NATO on the topic of bombers, and they do not need long-range guns. But Canada is not Honduras with Guadeloupe.

                        Putting the removed / new equipment on the carcasses is not a problem.

                        Replacing Dryers -
                        Su-35С with a range of 4000 km with one PTB, which certainly stands up for itself. At the same time, on the Su-35, you can hang, in addition to two Caliber RCCs, a couple of RVV-SD and two RVV-MD, in addition to the Khabina electronic warfare containers. It is impossible to calculate the range with all body kits ..

                        Su-34, well, or Su-35S, will be able to carry two or three 3M-54 missiles. There will be a question on range. The driving range of the Tushka is about 7000 km, the range of the Su-34 with one anti-aircraft gun is about 4500 km. Of course there is a difference, but the most important thing is that the Su-34 can stand up for itself

                        With such "body kits" Dryers can only lie down for themselves! And then not far.

                        The idea of ​​replacing the supersonic at the breakthrough of the anti-aircraft bomber with subsonic transporters arose, apparently, when the snack ended

                        And with the "prototype of the successor", we got an enchanting Lego-scrambled eggs: we take amerovsky under-underderwaffe "on a scale", here we will stretch it, here we will expand it, here we will stick it in "Caliber" ...

                        General designers nervously smoke around the corner

                        For those who have not read the article - all this is said.

                        About the super-sound breakthrough is especially interesting. By intimidation and sonic boom to break through modern air defense?

                        And what kind of air defense does NATO have? I’ll tell you a terrible secret - it is based on fighter planes. Is he going to get away from them on super-sound?

                        By body kits - with body kits, the range of carcasses is not taken into account?

                        He also wrote about the depth of the territory, in view of the need for cover.

                        In short, it’s really easier to kill yourself against the wall than to repeat ALL THAT ALREADY TOLD.

                        Well, let's just raise the question - a large plane allows you to use large Raman / Raman missiles, i.e. with a large warhead and long range and with a higher average flight speed.

                        From the point of view of combat use, the flight range of the KR / RCC is a critical value, including its average flight speed. Therefore, it is very difficult to compare the combat use of two balanced aircraft

                        > But he was taken out of the naval aviation.

                        I suspect that one of the reasons for the re-launch of the Tu-160 was precisely the lack of the necessary quantities of naval aviation, which can be used against the AUG. Tu-160 may well pick up the required number of missiles that can be launched with safe distances.

                        You are theoretically right. But in practice, you need to look at exactly which missiles. Of the heavy RCCs, we only have the x-22, n-800 and caliber.
                        X-22 will not be able to take the dryer - but it is also outdated.
                        P-800 drying can take one already. The caliber will be able to lift two three pieces.
                        In this regard, yes, the Tu-22m3 can take away more missiles. But with regards to range and average speed - this is not correct. Since besides x-22, the rest of the rockets are identical.
                        Or do you want to propose to develop a new missile specifically for the carcass - with the best parameters?

    So why do we need long-range aviation when the whole west abandoned it?

    The question is of course rhetorical and multidimensional. It is simply impossible to answer whether or not long-range aviation is needed. Although the extreme use of TU 22 in Syria, it has been shown that it is too early to write them off. Perhaps you need to modify, because colossal finances are needed for new ones, but I just can’t remove them simply.

          Firstly, Russia simply does not have attack aircraft carriers. Secondly, across the expanses of the Urals, Siberia, Tuva, Transbaikalia and the Far East, aircraft-carrying ships, such as mobile airfields, are somehow inconvenient to dissect ... Third, compare the cost of developing and building an attack aircraft carrier + the cost of a ton of carrier-based fighter jet bomber (preferably F-35, for greater clarity) and the price of aviation fuel ...

In the USSR, as a rule, the name "long-range bomber" was similar to the name "strategic bomber"! Somewhere, in the 70-80s of the last century, NATO took up arms against the Tu-22 for the reason that NATO "declared" Tu-22 ... ,, Backfire ,, "" an average strategic bomber "!; And the USSR stubbornly argued that the Tu-22 was a front-line bomber .... As a result, from the SSR it was necessary to "cut off" the Tu-22 "fuel receivers"! Therefore: 1. For what reason, the Tu-22 is not a strategic "bomber" when NATO has long recognized it as "strategyM"?; 2. "Fuel receivers" have long been "conceived" for the Tu-22 ... 3.Finally .... a decision has been made to further modernize the Tu-22M3 ... as a result, the Tu-22M3M should appear ...

          Eh hehe. Yes, and at the beginning of the war it was not used for a good life. And at the end- request
          Even according to the Finnish results:

          report of the 9th Army Air Force: “The use of TB-3 aircraft as combat aircraft is not practical due to the large size and low speed, but use by day is completely unacceptable."


          From the beginning of 1943, obsolete bombers began to be returned from the front to flight schools. So, in August 1st Guards. ADD regiment transferred 12 of the oldest and worn-out vehicles to Chelyabinsk. There they were used to teach bombing and aerial shooting until the very end of the war. Since the beginning of 1944, TB-3 finally switched to the role of military transport and training vehicles, and they were operated mainly in the rear. This is indirectly evidenced by the statistics of losses. In 1944, the Air Force wrote off 15 TB-3s with M-17 engines, one with M-34 and three with M-34RN, but only because of accidents and wear.

          To our justification, the Germans didn’t have a decent mark in this regard either.

The same Yak-3 ... 9 and La-5 ... 7 that survived the Patriotic War? No, in a few years everyone fell apart at the airfields due to the wear of the structure. Whereas the MiG-21s, the last ones seemed to be taken out of service last year, and the An-2s fly here and there. They were made - in the post-war period, there was an opportunity to work out designs and technologies at a qualitatively different level ...
            By the way, about the An-2
            ASH-62IR is a star-shaped 9-cylinder engine developed at A. D. Shvetsov Design Bureau in 1938 for transport and civil aviation. It is still operated on the An-2 aircraft. The motor was mass-produced in the USSR and Russia for more than 50 years.

        Cyril, take it easy! stop Perhaps you shouldn't get carried away like this, and the criticism is still mostly constructive. Another question is that now we can in many ways allow us to behave more freely. The Americans, for example, declared all of their B-1Bs "non-strategic bombers." And nothing... request

          There are no cruise missiles in service with nuclear warheads. If the Kh-160 and Kh-55 are “removed” from the Tu-101 and this fact is proved, then they can also be removed from the START list.

        about withdrawing from the treaties is right, after Russia was on the verge of death, after the Americans brazenly steal the death, I think now we need to think not about world peace, but about how to survive in this situation. from the agreement on not placing nuclear weapons in outer space and hanging a military station with nuclear missiles above America’s head is under our power to bring a spiral to mind and not let anyone into space with nuclear weapons.

            By the way:
            Examples of sarcasm manifestations:
            1) - Your logic must be sent to the front.
            - What for?

            The virtues of sarcasm
            Sarcasm, although it is a negative manifestation of intellectual abilities, but still has its positive qualities, and therefore, the advantages can be distinguished:
            - Verbal weapons, which helps to keep self-defense on an intellectual level and in case of disputes, do not resort to the use of force;
            - The manifestation of wit and developed intelligence;
            - It can be a veiled context that helps to hide the essence of the conversation from strangers;
            - It can be used in pictures if verbal expression is excluded;
            ...
            Disadvantages of sarcasm
            The ability to build an implied context in conversation in heightened contrast carries a negative manifestation of human wit, and, accordingly, is a generally accepted drawback. These disadvantages include the following:
            - A peculiar form of ridicule of the actions and actions of others, as well as the situations and circumstances that arose;
            - Causes negative perception and can lead to unpleasant consequences;
            - Contains in its context a high probability of the manifestation of high intelligence among those who express sarcasm, making it clear that the opposite side does not have high intellectual qualities;
            - Does not cause joy and fun;
            - It is a form of black PR;

    The new missile was a development of the projects of the K-10P and K-14 systems, but it represented a qualitative step forward. The use of a rocket engine as a propulsion system made it possible to achieve high flight speeds, up to M = 3,5 at an altitude of 22,5 km (i.e., to a speed 3,5 times higher than the speed of sound at a given altitude), guaranteeing overcoming any the air defense system that existed at that time.

Look: Ilyin "Bombers". Whatever they say and do not wrote, but the characteristics of the B-47, Valiant, Victor, Vulcan have always been compared with our Tu-16, and the Tu-16 is a long-range bomber.

        The famous V series is powerful. We were unable to make a single normal plane for a specific task, they swarmed up "celebrities". Comparing a knot with a finger is not an objectionable occupation, but strange, let's say.
        Vickers Valiant is a British long-range bomber, the first of the V-series bombers. He made his first flight on May 18, 1951. He was in service with the Royal Air Force in 1955-1965.
        ...
        Handley Page Victor is a British jet strategic bomber. Designed and manufactured by Handley Page Aircraft Company. The third and last of the V-Series bombers (Vickers Valiant, Avro Vulcan and Handley Page Victor). Created as part of the British Airborne Nuclear Deterrence System. A total of 86 aircraft were built.
        He made his first flight on December 24, 1952. He entered the service of the Royal Air Force in 1958. Victor was briefly used as a bomber - in 1968, Viktor was expelled from the nuclear deterrence program ...
        ...
        Avro Vulcan is the British strategic bomber, the second of the V-series bombers. He made his first flight on August 31, 1952. A total of 136 aircraft were produced, including prototypes.
        The "Volcano" was in service with the Royal Air Force in 1956-1984, thus becoming the last British strategic bomber. This type of aircraft made several sorties during the Falkland War ...
        Volcano aircraft participated in the bombing of Port Stanley during the 1982 Falkland War (Operation Black Buck). As a result of the raids, the runway on the islands captured by the Argentines was damaged and the radar installation was destroyed. However, this practically did not affect the course of the war. This operation was the first and last combat use of the Volcanoes.

        Better than in "Corner of Heaven" is difficult to say. All idle speculations are noted in one fell swoop:
        In the second half of the 40s, the aviation industry of the leading aviation powers of the world faced the task of creating long-range bombers equipped with turbojet and turboprop engines. For the USSR, the creation of a long-range jet bomber capable of hitting targets within a radius of 3000 km in the post-war period has become one of the vital programs in the field of military aviation. A plane of this class, along with intercontinental strategic aircraft, was an effective deterrent. The need to counter the superiority of the surface forces of the West over the Soviet Navy, required the development of a class of aircraft capable of hitting surface ships of a potential enemy. Therefore, the USSR, unlike its western rivals, all the post-war years constantly developed precisely these types of aircraft.

        In the West, the class of medium strategic bombers and missile carriers gradually faded away: the B-47 was removed from service in the 60s, a small number of supersonic B-58s quickly disappeared from the scene. The British Valiants were soon removed from service due to design flaws, and the Volcanoes and Viktors, having experienced a short renaissance as missile carriers, gradually turned into refuellers and have now been removed from service. The French carrier of the national nuclear bomb "Mirage-4" can hardly be attributed to this class of aircraft due to its relatively small payload and relatively short range. Thus, the USSR remained the only great world power that persistently, due to its specific geopolitical and military-strategic position, continued to design and build aircraft of the medium long-range bomber class. One of the most important figures in this global game between the West and the East was the Soviet long-range bomber Tu-16, created in the early 50s at the Tupolev Design Bureau.

        Here's a word, I found only one argument, and very, very controversial. "West refused"

        But I apologize, the Russian Armed Forces operate in fundamentally different conditions than the European countries of NATO and the United States. Due to our geographical location, vast territory and relatively small population.

        Well, the rest of the arguments are more likely to criticize the means of destruction than the aircraft itself. For some reason, by default, the goal of modernization is not the task of giving the aircraft greater versatility, greater informatization, closer inclusion in the reconnaissance, target designation and defeat system.
        And this is wrong.

        RPG-7 could not fight armored vehicles with reactive armor systems. But instead of abandoning it, a "tandem" was developed. A TB and a fragmentation shot added versatility to the grenade launcher. The weapon model must work until the modernization resource is completely depleted.

    Tu-22, at one time, was created as a means to destroy aircraft carriers. Then it turned out that it can destroy ground targets quite well. So, the United States cut its aircraft carriers for scrap? Or was the decision of Soviet strategists to create such an aircraft wrong? Something I do not understand the author. He complains that the TU-22M3 is too complicated and expensive. In his opinion, a modern aircraft should be at the level of the Mosin rifle and consist of three parts: pieces of iron, pieces of wood and belts. That is why he brought us here as an example of a contemporary of the aforementioned rifle "Ilya Muromets"?

      There was also a separate class of more classic bombers. Such as B-2, B-52, Tu-95, Tu-22М3, Tu-160, etc. Their main disadvantage is that they can not stand up for themselves in air combat, but there are also some advantages.

      So it was not required of them - bombers - their task was purely shock - to deliver missiles or bombs to the target, and if we take into account that the planes were created for a global nuclear war, then in such a war bombers essentially became a one-time weapon - just a breakthrough to the goals and precise unloading of it justified both the creation and maintenance of these aircraft. And returning to the native airfield ... is not a fact that in a nuclear war there will be where to return. Against this background, there was no need to adapt bombers to aerial combat.
      Tu-22, at one time, was created as a means to destroy aircraft carriers.

      - It’s not entirely true that the Tu-22 (first), like the Tu-22M (a completely different plane) were created precisely as supersonic long-range bombers for delivering a bombing missile (including special ammunition) against targets in Western Europe and others NATO countries and their allies. But after, under the terms of the contract with Tu-22M2, equipment for refueling in the air and accordingly the creation of the Tu-22M3 modification was removed, it was decided to use these vehicles as missile carriers to counter carrier-based aircraft (primarily American) by striking aircraft carriers.
      I don’t put a minus to the author of the article, but the conclusions in it are somewhat far-fetched. The Tu-22M3, as a fighting vehicle, has not yet outlived itself, of course, it needs modernization, but in a modern difficult environment it is much wiser to keep these aircraft in service than to cut them into needles.
      I have the honor.

      In his opinion, a modern aircraft should be at the level of the Mosin rifle and consist of three parts: pieces of iron, pieces of wood and belts. That is why he brought us here as an example of a contemporary of the aforementioned rifle "Ilya Muromets"?

        Your reasoning is strange to me. Firstly, as a cold weapon, the Mosin rifle was rather a good spear, with the ability to shoot, and not with a club or a reed there. Secondly, the cost of producing the "mosinka" was slightly more than 100 rubles, while the average salary of an industrial worker in 1941 was about 300 rubles. So it's hard to call it a road. And this despite the fact that SVT-40 cost about 1000 rubles, PPD and diesel fuel - about 1200. The platoon commander's PPD + a standard machine gun cost a little less than the armament of all the platoon's fighters with "three-lines".

    Now let's get down to business, let's start with the armament:
    The first shortcomings of the X-22 began to appear already in the 80's ... the use of ARLGSN does not always take place due to the complexity of implementation and the increase in mass. Therefore, questions about the X-80 noise immunity have already appeared in 22's.

    The main disadvantage of the Kh-22 is not low noise immunity, the "head" and other guidance equipment can be changed. You did not mention that this is a liquid anti-ship missile system that requires a highly aggressive oxidant refueling and time consuming and dangerous maintenance. It is because of this that her time has passed. The X-32 is a hopeless and archaic project.
    However, in real combat operations, the Tu-22М3 with the X-22 missile especially not marked.
    Not marked at all.
    And, of course, the apogee is the use of the Tu-22М3 in Georgia, which ended up very sadly.
    Not the fault of the car. No. Any most advanced technique can be ruined by misuse. In this case, the Buk-M1 air defense missile system was shot down by the closing Tu-22M3, which was carrying out photo control of the results of the bombing, by the way, they were bombed by a "three with a minus". Results in the picture.

    The plane was lost as a result of illiterate planning for a combat mission, lack of a REP, and routine actions.

      But there still remains the rocket engine. And this is perhaps the most stupid solution for a modern rocket. The complexity of the operation of the rocket engine is the high toxicity of the components, the risk of fire when in contact with the oxidizing agent, the need for constant and qualified maintenance. In terms of costs, this does not go to any comparison not only with a solid fuel engine, but also with a small turbojet engine


      I just probably in the wrong place probably said. As if not separating the X-32 from the X-22.

      Seryozha, I absolutely agree and support !!! The author has a very big "+"! drinks

      Although .. he has a lot of "lapses" in his article:

      1. Indicated are some "beyond the block" launch ranges of the X-22 = x, that with the PG, that with the PSI.
      2. X-22P were used only on the Tu-22KP / KPD and that .. they could be counted on the fingers.
      3. Range or tactical range ... these are only DREAMS (if I noticed that the BK-45K was even taken to the machine to somehow reduce the CLS, well, etc.
      4. Serious reconnaissance and additional exploration as paradises was not required. wink
      5. I have never met a single machine equipped specifically with MVK .. maybe the author meant something else? request

      Well, now, according to your comments, it is BAD, or rather .. in general, NO IMMUNITY for "active" heads is the main disadvantage of these missiles and the entire complex (well, for PSI .. this is accuracy. Although for SBCH + - 10 km does not play no grand pianos "... they would only let me fly.

      For the photocontrol of the results of b / m on the Tu-22M3 (like M2_ AFA-42/20 is installed and if they put NAFA-MK-75 at night .. on EVERYONE !!!!!

      So your conclusion at the end exactly reflects the whole ESSENCE !!! drinks

        X-22 from open sources + consulted.
        range is distillation - since there is no reliable range data with combat load. Therefore, he brought distillation for everyone. So to speak, to understand the delta.

        Without intelligence, how to direct the X-22? According to external data, do they suggest it?

          Well, "open sources" .. they are ... these ... "sources" wassat
          But .. "consulted" wink
          The rocket itself is not flying ... it needs a COMPLEX ... which will give it a control system - these are two options ... either a PNA (for an active head) or "Orbit-10tS", through NK-45 (through DZU or RAM) no difference, but here too ... the PNA will be "present" (for the formation of the "floating spot" mode).
          Now we "take" data on the capabilities of the PNA (ie, zoom modes and long-range sweeps), which we see ... that's right, + to this you understand that you need more:
          1. Form the aiming mode.
          2. Identify the target and the accuracy of the development of the aiming mode.
          3. Produce the control unit by Range.
          4. Produce the control unit in azimuth (or elevation).
          5. Get the ACS mode.
          6. Make "manipulations" to prepare the rocket for launch.

          The plane flies at a speed of 900 ... it covers 1 km in 15 minute. all operations for a rocket with a Passive head are much easier, but the same ... it takes .. "... minutes" bully
          So there’s nothing left of your 600 ... nothing.

          Now it is more difficult with the active one, because if the passive is an ordinary trigger range counter and DISS, then in the active one it is the "capture" by the head of the missile itself of the marks from the target both in Range and in elevation, and what would be the capture of AKR, you need to do so that there would be a capture of both the PNA and the Range, from which the ability to execute the CO in range begins is completely different bullyand analysis is required for "stable capture" and so on.
          So you yourself can’t see from the ranges indicated by you ... nothing.

          Now, according to the Range, the weight is 70 tons ... fuel for traffic jams 52 tons, start-up, warm-up, control check, taxiing out - 2 tons, take-off, set to MBFR up to N of the most favorable cruising mode - 3 tons.
          Milestone 100 and approach with a decrease to N circle -2 tons, approach from the circle-1 ton, the remainder at the landing - 8 tons. (Okay .. let it be 6)
          Now subtract all this from the total amount of fuel and you get that fuel .. which you can .. "burn" (you can calculate the specific costs yourself).
          Now it’s clear why a maximum of 12 pieces of 250-k were brought to SCIR wink

          X-22 is guided by coordinates that are known in advance (if stationary for targets), if moving, then according to intelligence and additional intelligence, and after entering the area by independent search.

        Kirill! Congratulations on your debut! The article is problematic, how many people, so many opinions. "Ilya Muromets" was conceived by Sikorsky as a passenger and transport aircraft, but the war made it such, laying the foundation for a new class of combat aircraft. Right are those who say that the Tu -22m3 great modernization potential. What you bring in the war on 08.08.08 is a coincidence. Moreover, not ordinary soldiers were sitting at the consoles, but engineers and workers who were repairing the modernization of the Buk air defense system, and this is a different level of preparation of calculations. I ask: do not get excited, read all the comments carefully, think it over and sit down for a new article.

          Kirill! Congratulations on your debut! The article is problematic, how many people, so many opinions. "Ilya Muromets" was conceived by Sikorsky as a passenger and transport aircraft, but the war made it such, laying the foundation for a new class of combat aircraft. Right are those who say that the Tu -22m3 great modernization potential. What you bring in the war on 08.08.08 is a coincidence. Moreover, not ordinary soldiers were sitting at the consoles, but engineers and workers who were repairing the modernization of the Buk air defense system, and this is a different level of preparation of calculations. I ask: do not get excited, read all the comments carefully, think it over and sit down for a new article.

        > "mythical Tu-160M2"

        I hate realists. They do not survive in Armenia
        From their point of view, in 1994 it was impossible to start up nuclear power plants in Armenia - an economy that was killed to zero and whose energy system the frequency during the day walked a few hertz, complete lack of gas in the country for several years, dismantled metal engineering enterprises and others sold to Iran as scrap metal (neatly mounted and working in Iran)

        Thieves, grabbers and criminals in all authorities. The Minister of Energy claimed at a press conference that water seeps out of the reactor vessel due to high pressure, and that this is normal ...

        Launching a nuclear power plant in such conditions seemed less real than, say, launching it on Mars.

        But they did let them in - the staff was recruited and trained.
        A frequency meter was installed at the control room, which was not provided for by any project, because of the floating / changing current frequency in the network, all parameters naturally changed, and if the reactor operator did not see the synchronization of these changes with the current frequency, it would make absolutely wrong decisions.
        During the day, during the first year after the restart, a maneuver with a capacity of tens of megawatts was regularly performed, which, as it were, VVERs should categorically not do. Each NSAES began the shift with the fact that the material of the dispatcher was ARMENERGO for the floating frequency, and ended the shift with the same obscenity ...

        Thieves and grabbers are still here. Naturally, they saw money at the station, of course, due to safety (in terms of sense, it does not fall, but could have been higher if the money had not been sawed).

        BUT the ANPP is nevertheless a safe station with competent personnel and working equipment.


        Against the background of what has been said, realism is such a mannered / decadent way to elevate oneself

    Colleagues, I read it, I thought ... The car, of course, is a little outdated, however ... Now it is the only machine sharpened to destroy the AUG, which is in sufficient quantity. The fact that they carry cast iron on it is tough, and not in terms! The machine has modernization potential, but there are no analogues to replace it with! The fact that the article posed a lot of unpleasant questions is good, makes you think! To think about the future of such an aircraft as a class. Will there be a replacement for him, and in what form? Will there be a modernization of the machine and the armament complex for it? I also thought about creating a cheap bomber and a cheap attack aircraft ...
    We need a modern Tu2, possibly redone from a transport vehicle. And undoubtedly, we need a modern Il2, with an armored hull, with a modern turboprop engine, or a piston, with a small thermal signature, and the cost of a flight hour is cheaper than a helicopter!

        We have no naval missile-carrying aviation now. Several years ago, in accordance with the directive of the General Staff and with the consent of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, all Tu-22M3s were transferred to the DA. Bombers capable of taking off from the Far Eastern airfields Vozdvizhenka and Kamenny Ruchei were ferried to the European part of the country. Most of these machines are now awaiting their turn for repair and modernization at the Olenya airfield. Cars that were unable to rise into the air for ferrying, including due to minor malfunctions, were "scrapped".

        It will be correct to both "dedicate" and "initiate". This word is spelled differently.
        In order not to make mistakes and choose the right variant for writing, it is enough just to pay attention to the meaning of the sentence:
        "shine" is used in the sense of the word "light / shine / illuminate something" - Shine a flashlight, otherwise it is dark and nothing is visible;
        "to consecrate" is used in the sense of "holiness / holy / consecrate to something" - We will devote today's topic of the lecture to integrals.

            Moreover, when operating airfields, it is always necessary to count on the need for a quick rise into the air of all these machines. That is, the "carrying capacity" of air bases is also limited under the influence of the possibility of using Russian aviation.

Now the situation has changed, at each airfield where fighters are based there is a link on duty, in extreme cases, a couple. There is absolutely no situation with the air defense system in the states. The only city covered by anti-aircraft systems is Washington. Washington is protected by three launchers of the Norwegian-American NASAMS air defense systems, which are arranged in the shape of a triangle.

But the capabilities of NATO and the United States in this are significantly higher. One way or another, the aviation of the "probable partners" has a pronounced strike - offensive focus.

    If you recall the history of WW2, it becomes obvious that German industry, like Japanese, did not get up from strategic attacks on enterprises, but when long-distance ’thunderbolts, etc. began to terrorize transport routes, bridges, fuel storage, steam locomotives and individual cars. Without transport, economics and production went down.

    It is worth considering the option of equipping the Tu-22M3 with modern X-101 / 102 cruise missiles, which are fully suitable for the "Carcass" in terms of their overall dimensions. However, there is one caveat - the flight range of the Tu-22М3 is significantly less than that of the strategic Tu-160. Missiles, unlike the White Swan, will be on the external sling, and therefore will also contribute to reducing the radius of action.


    Worth considering. Tu 22M3 has not only a shorter range but also a much lower cost compared to Tu 160
    And Russia is not the USSR.
    Unsuccessful examples of application in a "small war" does not mean anything yet
    That 22M3 was not created for her.
    And if you remember our "friends" from Berlin, claiming the Crimea, Donbass and Kharkov
    or our "friends" from Tokyo, claiming the southern Kuril Islands,
    then Tu 22M3 is exactly what the doctor ordered.
    In order to cool down the heads of our Japanese and German partners, which are excessively heated by democracy, this is exactly what is needed.
    And "six-ton ​​carcasses with a nuclear charge against the background of space ..." is exactly the sight that they hardly want to see

    The article aroused some interest, as many comments say. The author was assisted by respected and competent people, and this is also very important.
    I piloted the Tu-22M3 and I know this plane as a surgeon or pathologist knows the structure of man. My work was related to working out the issues of combat use and increasing the combat effectiveness of the weapons used.
    In my opinion, an airplane “lives” when it is fit for its intended purpose. Conceived initially as a missile carrier, the Tu-22M3, although it had a bomb bay, was intended to destroy sea and ground targets from medium and high altitudes. The rapid development of air defense systems made it impossible to solve this problem in modern warfare. The main condition for modernization, indeed, is the location of the machine and its components in production. Only then can modernization be comprehensive and affect all structural elements - a glider, engines, an on-board cable network, a control system, an aiming and navigation system, an on-board weapon system, a fuel supply system, landing gear exhaust and cleaning systems, radio and electrical equipment, etc. etc. The modernization of individual units and systems does not extend the “life” of the aircraft, but allows it to “serve” it in a narrowly defined quality until something new appears to replace it. This is how the issue was resolved with respect to the Tu-22M3.

    I would like to warn some authors against amateurism and idle chatter. Before you publish pictures and list the brands of missiles, you need to know their device, operating conditions and combat use, the ability to place launch equipment in the cockpit, and much more. Su-34 - front-line bomber and compare it with the TU-22M3 ,. at least incorrectly. Talking about air cover over the target, based on the operation of the airborne forces in Syria, is wrong, because it is carried out in the absence of enemy air defense and resembles "beating babies."

    Here it stands on my shelf on a scale of 1: 144, white-blue, with red X-22 under the fuselage. Fast, beautiful. Aircraft. like people, alas, not eternal. We are leaving, they are leaving too ... ..

    The situation with the Tu-160 is even more complicated, and if they do not take it seriously, the country may end up without strategic aviation at all.

    Any call to abandon anything in our aviation causes fierce rejection - even if it is not the most economically viable, but let it fly, let people increase the flying time. I don’t think that the decision to write off all Tu-22М3 will lead to some gushing growth in Su-34 purchases. Better a tit in the hands.
    Therefore, questions about the X-80 noise immunity have already appeared in 22's.
    So what's wrong with noise immunity? I assume that they stupidly stopped modifying the rocket leaving the old GOS, it is probably also single-frequency. Modern anti-ship missiles have no problems with noise immunity due to the ability to quickly tune out interference by changing frequencies, or switch to passive. Rather, this missile has a problem in the overall bulkiness of the ancient design with a rocket engine, but this is not a reason to chop the carrier. An example is B-52.
    He is a long-range bomber, not a strategic one. Long-range aviation is, in general, a thing special for our history. While the West over time and the development of technology went to strategists, we continued to improve long-range bombers in parallel with strategic ones.
    Because western aviation has zero aircraft carriers, zero helicopter carriers, and only a dozen cruisers for priority purposes. And our aviation for priority purposes includes more than ten aircraft carriers, about 15 UDC and about 100 cruiser / destroyer targets. Long-range aviation is needed !!!
    The reason is that it is twin-engine, and this greatly affects the safety of flight over the ocean.
    Damn him! And P-8 Poseidon they are going to fly over the sea, on two engines? Very far-fetched thesis. With this sauce, the entire Su-90 and MiG-17 fleets were already killed in 27 ahead of schedule.
    In addition, it has very controversial engines for modern times. NK-25 is based on the old NK-144.
    But the Tu-160 and Tu-95 type are all good with this, right? And the American B-52? And do Su-25 / 24 or IL-18 / 20 / 22 / 38, IL-76, An-12 any engines that are not controversial for modern times? Or are they also in the furnace?

            There are many holes. But do not throw in the trash what is already there! Moreover, I have already said that for those who have 5 times the budget, such machines are simply not needed. And we need. If a big war begins, our surface fleet will not go to the ocean to sink convoys and aviks. This will go to do the submarine, breaking through the Farrero-Icelandic border. At this turn, the NATO fleets will defend the stationary SOSUS from sabotage and catch our submarines. Since going out to sea for surface ships is a sure suicide, the only tool we can reach the Farrero-Iceland line to make it easier for our submarines to break into the Atlantic is the hell with the Tu-22! You can’t get Il-34x on Su-78. Yes, for the Carcasses it will be a very dangerous job, but they can do it. They are also not easy to catch, they can also give out supersonic sound at the radius of this line and resemble it at low altitudes. Something like this.

The weapon is being improved, a new one appears, so it seems to me that it is necessary to maintain the maximum possible number of Tu-22 platforms. Naturally I want to upgrade them! First of all, engines, especially the most advanced NK-32-2, which can dramatically change the performance characteristics of an aircraft and even change their status, which will be very profitable in view of the offset in the START-3 bomber per 1 BG. refueling system and expand the type of SVP to the maximum.

    I don’t know how, for me, the plane has now naturally exhausted itself - the weapons for which it was created now are ineffectively equipped with practically no defenses, as well as very high visibility. Modern multifunctional combat samorelets of the type Su 34 and Su 30 Moght do an excellent job of a wide range of tasks, while they are self-sufficient and able to protect themselves and are quite secretive, and at the same time they can use both conventional ammunition and high-precision weapons while all the new weapons that are being created are being created specifically for these media. Because it would be clear that this plane should retire.
    The replacement for this side should be PAK DA - which will most likely have subsonic speed and the use of stealth technologies, and it is also possible to have an airborne defense system of the near zone and also electronic warfare systems - such an air cruiser will be able to overcome ground or airborne air defense system itself or in a group to launch promising hypersonic missiles or possibly planning bombs.
    Although, as for me, it’s even better to use multifunctional modern heavy aircraft such as 34 and 30 dryers and work separately on the line of strategists, that is, the same as 160 and in the long run PAK YES.

    In fact, in the West, the Tu-22M3 was considered a "killer of aircraft carriers" all their life, since most of these aircraft were in the combat composition of the USSR Navy aviation! What are we arguing about? What, the US has run out of aircraft carriers? Or do we have modern missiles?

              We have no naval missile-carrying aviation now. Several years ago, in accordance with the directive of the General Staff and with the consent of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, all Tu-22M3s were transferred to the DA. Bombers capable of taking off from the Far Eastern airfields Vozdvizhenka and Kamenny Ruchei were ferried to the European part of the country. Most of these machines are now awaiting their turn for repair and modernization at the Olenya airfield. Cars that were unable to rise into the air for ferrying, including due to minor malfunctions, were "scrapped".

              In any case, the Tu-22М3 did not remain at the Far Eastern airfields.

    We went for such a complication of the design because of the absence, at that time, more optimal technologies to increase power.

    expression more optimal touches. I'll tell you a secret word optimum in Latin means the best, the best of all that is and can be, i.e. - the ceiling, better, simply does not exist above. When the author wants to climb even higher ... To break through the ceiling and dismantle the roof?
    I mean, in addition to the optimum, there is also a pessimum (i.e., it does not happen worse). If the author has little idea of ​​the meaning of the words that he uses, then the question arises: If you use a curved hammer, then how great is the opportunity to hammer nails correctly?
    In addition, there is a lot of questions peremptory of both halves of the statement
    Now there are no serious fighters in the sky, so modern machines are trying to make more universal

    Let me remind you that the production of fighter-bombers was quite characteristic for the Northern P. Indostan at all times. Therefore, listing a long series of their cars looks wretched. In scientific statistical calculations in such cases they say there is no representative sample. In everyday life - an elementary juggling of facts. belay
    Even the identification of these two points makes it justifiable and logical to conclude that the selection of factual material is biased, that its analysis is untidy, hence the conclusions are sucked out of the finger.
    The funny thing is, I personally agree that both the design and the concept of using the Tu-22M3 are outdated. Another thing is that the actual material needs to be handled more carefully, and recourse not litter brains to people.

    And if you need to bomb not in Syria with a flight over friendly Iran, but for example in Spain? How to fuel a Su-34 over Germany from IL-78? Instead of bombs, you can enter missiles, this does not change the essence. There are no bases, but a long arm is needed. Here let the eggheads and think how to modernize the carcass.

                    When asked how long you can cut. The NK-25 engine of the 2nd series in the MFR mode (maximum afterburner mode) has a resource limit of 30 minutes for the entire operation period. Then it can be written off. Full refueling of Tu-22M3 - 53 tons, just for half an hour of work on the full afterburner. You can calculate the tactical radius yourself.

There are no mountains or folds of terrain on the sea. And at an altitude of 200 meters, the Tu-22 is very well masked from all ground-based radars.

          Automation is tuned to a specific flight mode. Again, protection from the fool, so that where you do not need not stuck.

            "Stab. H" is a toggle-switch of the usual "domestic" autopilot, almost every airplane has it. It does not adjust to anything, it just maintains the current height, balancing the car and preventing it from going higher or lower. If this toggle switch is turned on at 200 meters, then the AP will withstand these 200 meters. I think there should be an autopilot in Carcass. It should be enough to fly over a flat sea surface.

    Currently, the main products of the enterprise are the product U 501 AB1.000.119. According to open sources, this product is a component of the X-32 product (9-A-2362, air-based cruise missile, anti-ship missile, anti-radar missile). These missiles are fired at the Dubna Machine-Building Plant, which is supplied by Radiopribor. A contract with this plant at Radio Appliance was signed several years ago. More accurate information could not be found due to the confidentiality of the data.
    It is noteworthy that the product U 501 AB1.000.119 is produced only in Vladivostok.
    By the way, the P-800 is also not so easy to attach to the Su-30SM. Here, the Indians can’t bring their Bramos-Light to mind. Recently, the first launch from the Su-30MKI was postponed again. Right, of course, this summer.

    It's like that Yes But there is one but... All these advantages are depreciated by the need to use toxic fuel and an extremely aggressive oxidizing agent, the slightest leak of which threatens with serious consequences. X-22 missiles have always been unloved by the flight and technical personnel for this reason. I don’t know if you have encountered rockets with LRE, but I had to. True, they were SAM, but the problems are the same. In the air defense forces of the country, accidents including fatal accidents during refueling, servicing and transportation of missiles were not uncommon.

                The latest modifications (this does not mean at all that the previous modifications were taken out of service) - in any case, our neighbors at the "watering" (Nikolaev) in the 88th year received 22s from the base and never refueled them.

                I will not argue, X-22 I do not know, it may well be. Yes But even amputated missiles are a smut. wassat The shelf life in the refilled form is still less than that of solid fuel and the slightest mechanical impact threatens major troubles.

                  Yes, who would argue, but the TT is unfortunately not regulated and has less traction ... Therefore, if we are talking about long-range multi-mode missiles, we do not have many options.

    The order is to the West!
    The engines roared!
    My heart is on fire!
    I am a bomber!
    I am a bomber!
    Tu-22 M3!
    Who's in charge there?
    Pray one last time!
    Your hour of judgment has come!
    I have been given the right!
    My name is “backfire”!
    The trumpets of Jericho!
    I am the carrier angel
    Warheads!
    Your righteous judgment and law!
    Games are over!
    Enough with the tricks!
    What peace is to me!
    What is Rome
    What Sodom!
    And the one in me
    Gives orders:
    - Forward! 2M – for sunset!
    One blow - for everything and at once -
    The neutron road to Hell!
    Order - to the West!
    And I have no equal!
    I hate
    God given!
    And the one who
    Your world is topped
    Call me "Satan"!
    ...But what is this? What?
    Order to return!?
    And was it a training flight?
    He betrayed me,
    The one who is twenty years old
    Leads me with him!
    I can’t help but obey him,
    I flew into a deadly arc!
    Let the one who
    Sits at the controls
    Bring me out of my dive!
    After all, there was an order -
    To the west! And period!
    And at the horizon - look! -
    I see it already
    Cape Rock sharpening -
    Western edge of the Earth!
    But he said -
    Back! Which means -
    I need to trust him!
    To the one who
    I'm destined
    And I will accept whose confession!
    Now at its peak
    We'll finish together
    With the torment of doubts and thoughts!
    But there was my mind
    Confused by the order!
    And my mind was red-hot!
    And I'm at nine o'clock
    I'm ditching my friend
    And I make a U-turn -
    Home to base!
    And a thorn in the heart
    The steel vein beats.
    Everyone is still roaring
    Two powerful motors.
    But my soul is burning with pain!
    I am a bomber!
    I am a bomber!
    Tu-22M3!
    I didn't know then
    I didn’t think, I didn’t know,
    That they are not waiting for us at home.
    And if my friend
    Wouldn't betray me -
    We both knew the route!
    To resign - him.
    They will cut me!
    Better a squadron in paradise!
    And I with all my might
    Crashing into the ground
    In the last
    His
    Fight!

    The article is certainly a vinaigrette laughing One gets the impression that the author does not even understand what he is writing about. What kind of P700 are in aviation??? belay What aircraft do we have in service with Granit??? Or at least Caliber??? Onyx is also passing by. One might assume that this is a typo about Granit, but the P700 was mentioned in the article 4 times, if not more. Therefore, this is hardly a typo, just a banal misunderstanding of the author about what he is writing about.
    About a motor boat with an RPG-7 against a destroyer - this is generally a masterpiece! :)))
    And who told you that a target coming at a high altitude and at great speed would be a gift on a silver platter? Do you think the X32 is a gift at an altitude of 40 km and a speed of 5M? I can imagine how our “partners” on the aircraft carrier will sweat from such a “gift” :)))
