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.
