Russian Tu-22М3 struck another blow to terrorist facilities in Syria

76
On Thursday morning, six Russian Tu-22М3 bombers struck in Syria at previously explored Islamic State facilities in the cities of S-Suhnya, Arak and Al-Taybeh (Homs province) and east of Palmyra, reports RIA News with reference to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.



“Long-distance bombers carried out a strike at 5.00 Moscow time. The targets for the defeat were command centers, clusters of manpower and militant equipment. The discovery of new targets has led to increased intelligence in this region, including space, ”the message says.

It clarifies that "as a result of the air strike, two control points of terrorists, manpower and military equipment of the IG in the shelter were destroyed."



The bomber cover was carried out by Su-35, stationed at the Khmeimim base.

After completing the assignment, the Tu-22М3 returned to the Russian Federation on the departure airfields.

        Not cheap at all. Delivery is not cheap. Judging by the photos and videos, they pour in 10 bombs. Previously, like 12 was. Not enough. And all because of not refueling in the air. And why on the video, on the ground, 5-6 breaks? The video is not from there or what?
        And why can’t you take the bombs to the maximum, fuel to Khmeimim, sit there, refuel, boot up and please the broads again?

          I agree with you in part.
          I wrote about cheap recycling. Even taking into account your arguments, it turns out: it is cheaper to deliver and "pour" on the pots of barmaley - than storage, security, transportation, disposal with the corresponding financial costs.

          Opinion sofa expert.
          - photos and videos are unlikely from a place from a specific event
          - How many bombs can not be judged so the video
          - Refueling? Is she needed in a particular case? Maybe for training only.
          - Sit in Hmeimim. What for? Extra depreciation costs and the development of aircraft resources. So not needed.
          - Babahs can be arranged with airplanes that are at the base. - - These flights are only for training pilots and utilizing scrap metal from arsenals (a wise decision).

            1. Absolutely right!
            2. Why? .... Press pause and count the number of cast iron that "fell out" during a salvo discharge (Volley 2 or 4) bully
            3. A priori is not possible, because. it is not on the plane ... although it would be very useful, because. You can then "carry" as much as you want (within reasonable limits) and even though on the internal and at least on the external sling.
            4. If with a landing in Khmeimim, then initially you can take about 20 tons of bombs or less, but then perform several repeated approaches and "work out" on the newly identified targets, the other question is that then fly back home ... it will be very problematic recourse
            5. "Cast iron" does not deteriorate from time to time, so it "does not need to be disposed of", otherwise in the pre-extreme "war" it was necessary to "throw" the cast iron model "M-39" fish soup "cut off) wassat

    As soon as the barmalei with their gang got up on the karachiks to pray, they immediately hold the bomb from above.

    Like 10 FAB-500. Those. 5 tons in total with a maximum load of 24 tons. Probably so little because of range. Although m / b is 1000
    Reference: Bomb weapons, consisting of conventional and nuclear free-falling bombs with a total mass of up to 24.000 kg, are located in the fuselage (up to 12000 kg) and on four nodes of the external suspension on the nine-lock girder holders MBDZ-U9-502 (typical versions of the bomb load - 69 FAB- 250 or eight FAB-1500).

    Most likely it was 10 fab-500-m62

    but if it was 10 fab-1500 then impressive. 15 tons !!!


    In the bomb bay Tu-22m3, which is called the cargo compartment on the cassette holders KD can hang:
    33 FAB-250 or
    18 FAB-500 or
    8 FAB-1500 or

    Most likely, the outer suspension was not used for a long range.

    No, it’s just 1500 in appearance - they are not so streamlined as the M62

    Why not negotiate with Iraq on the use of its airfields for attacks on terrorists. Then the Tu-22m3 could take on board much more bombs. 6 bombers with a half load of weather do not do, we need massive strikes on the positions of terrorists.

    As practice showed on the same palmyra: VKS, arta, then the infantry attack and rolled away. Again vks, arta again attack and so repeatedly. And about the sofa, although no, I will not comment. And I dare to suggest that such targets can be covered with art. Or the same su-34. And no one will guarantee that the target is destroyed. I know what I'm talking about.

      Two remarks: these bombers based on a / b in Syria is problematic for technical and other reasons; bombing strikes on areas for them is a secondary task; flight routes are being worked out in the Eastern Mediterranean and, possibly, the Persian Gulf.
      The task of the 22x-Carcasses is to break through layered air defense and destroy strategic facilities, including special ammunition.

          . In Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya.


          In Syria, no, in Iraq ... it’s very problematic, in Iran ....... these are dreamers and hoteliers, but from Libya ... it's almost like home (not to mention the situation there)!

              . Is there really nothing suitable in Syria? What about al-Shairat?


              Of course there is, but ..... only "theoretically" with the conditions ... "if yes mares" ... on the T-4 "tried" .. the result? .. Right ... "in the face" soldier

      1. Make an intermediate landing in Khmeimin for rest, refueling, replenishment of ammunition, clarification of goals?


      Like a couch expert.
      - double production of the engine life of a bomber. Is she needed? So training.

        What do you mean by the term .. "double depletion of a motor resource"? Repeated starts of the engine and APU? So does the same thing happen at the departure airport (base) when preparing for a second departure?
        And the motor resource (that is, the engine operating time), on the contrary, will be less, since the distance to the target (generally close) and the BC can be taken much, much more, that's just ... "these are dreamers" (although if at night, and even splash several buckets of kerosene, so ... for an hour ...) then you can try soldier

          "double production of a motor resource"


          These bombings, in principle, have no "strategic" value. Additional landing and takeoff is the resource of the landing gear, the engine mode during takeoff is the development of the aircraft resource.
          The whole strategy is the same, to train crews to fly in an unfamiliar area of ​​Iran, Iraq (without the support of native flight control systems).
          And the bombing is so demoralization of the militants - Mahmoud, listen here, the Russians have flown, they have thrown bombs. Abdullah was killed, I was shocked, blood is flowing from my ear. Ishak (camel) was killed and how now I will carry ammunition.

          The opinion of a purely couch expert.

    I do not see the point in such sorties. Even in terms of combat training. What is stopping:
    1. Make an intermediate landing in Khmeimin for rest, refueling, replenishment of ammunition, clarification of goals?
    2. Secondment a pair of 22 for an indefinite period based on Khmeymin to perform special tasks?

    Hmeimiм does not meet the requirements for basing strategic missile carriers. Lightning fast, well-prepared night raid on the base and the capture or simply destruction of the Tu-22M will cause not only serious material damage, but also significant image losses, which is even more important.

    3. To return at least part of the equipment from among the hastily and extremely unreasonably withdrawn from Khmeimin back. The Su-24/34 is able to solve all the tasks posed an order of magnitude more efficient than the 22nd with a dozen 250s on board.

    Yes, you, dear reader, need to the General Staff! At least to the analytical department, and you are wasting time here on the forum, ah-ah-ah.

      It’s absolutely true, only we have all the bases (such as the entrance yard !!!!) .. this is not for you Barvikha or Valdai wassat
      And Khmeimim is not suitable for its "capabilities" soldier

    Well, then urgently to the analytical center! You have nothing to do on the site. You will tell them there what kind of hasty fools they are, express yourself, the whole world will kneel!

    The conclusion was conscious - what the hell was flyers doing in the wind season - dust to heaven .., aviation for routine maintenance for this period, something else was modernized based on the experience gained, negotiations with the opposition and mattresses, etc.
