Rare footage of a flight of long-range strategic Tu-22M3 missile carriers being redeployed to a new deployment airfield has appeared online. The ferry range of machines of this modification is 7,000 km.
The Tu-22M3 missile carriers are capable of operating at a supersonic speed within a radius of 1,850 km, at a subsonic speed - up to 1,650 km, at a subsonic speed in a mixed profile - 2,410 km.
The range of the modernized version of the Tu-22M3M with a refueling boom via the "hose-cone" system can reach 8,000 km.
An important feature of the machines is the possibility of using 4-Mach Kh-22N cruise missiles from low-altitude modes, which significantly reduces the time "window" for tying their trajectories by multifunctional radar systems of anti-aircraft missile systems of the enemy.
Technical characteristics of Tu-22M3:
- Aircraft length - 41.6 m
- Aircraft height - 10 m
- Weight - 124 t
- Engines - 2 TRDDF NK-25 Thrust - 2 x 25000 kgf
- Practical ceiling - 13.5 km
- Maximum speed - 2300 km/h
