Footage of a flight of a Tu-22M3 long-range strategic missile carrier has appeared online. The crew was in the area of the Belaya military airbase in the Irkutsk region, the Telegram channel "Informant" reported.
In the video, it can be seen that a Kh-22 cruise missile is placed under the wing of the bomber.
The range of the modernized version of the Tu-22M3M with a refueling probe using the "hose-cone" system can reach 8000 km.
A feature of combat vehicles is the ability to use 4-Mach Kh-22 cruise missiles from low-altitude modes, which significantly reduces the temporary "window" for tying tracks by radar systems of enemy anti-aircraft missile systems.
