Rare footage of a flight of long-range strategic Tu-22M3 missile carriers being relocated 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 supersonic speed within a radius of 1850 km, at subsonic speed up to 1650 km, and at subsonic speed in a mixed profile up to 2410 km.
The range of the modernized version of the Tu-22M3M with a refueling probe via the "hose-cone" system can reach 8,000 km.
An important feature of the machines is the ability to use 4-Mach Kh-22N cruise missiles from low-altitude modes, which significantly reduces the time "window" for tying their trajectories with multi-functional 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
- Crew - 4 people
