Strategic bomber-missile carriers used Kh-22 "Storm" cruise missiles - heavy Soviet ammunition, which in recent years has received a second life.
The missiles reach speeds of up to Mach 5, are capable of climbing to a height of up to 40 km and hitting targets at a distance of up to 600 km. The weight of their warhead reaches 960 kg, with more than 600 of them accounting for explosives.
Due to its colossal mass and speed, the missile penetrates even heavily fortified targets, from fortifications to ships.
Developed back in Soviet times, the Kh-22 "Storm" is now back in service and is actively used.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the Tu-160M bomber surpassed the American B-1 Lancer: greater flight range and combat load.
