The Russian Tu-95MS "Bear" missile-carrying bomber met an American F-35 fighter in the Alaska region. The video was shown by the Telegram channel Fighterbomber.
A U.S. Air Force fighter dangerously approached the Russian aircraft, from which the filming was taking place, trying to force it to change course. The Russian Aerospace Forces fighter did not budge an inch. The F-35 moved aside.
It must be understood that almost any such encounter can end in a collision of aircraft, which at such speeds is almost guaranteed to end in ejection. And under you is either the ocean or a lifeless icy desert, where the chance of your rescue by search groups is 50%.
The F-35 is often called "Fat Amy" because of its heavier design compared to other fighters. The F-35 is equipped with an F135 engine, and its thrust-to-weight ratio at maximum takeoff weight is 1.07, which is much higher than many other aircraft in this class.
The Tu-95 (NATO classification: Bear) is a strategic bomber-missile carrier. It is designed to engage important targets in remote military-geographical areas and in the deep rear of continental theaters of war with conventional and nuclear weapons.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that UAV flew between regions in Russia for the first time according to civil aviation rules.
