The strategy for using the strategic missile carriers Tu-160 "White Swan" and Tu-22M3 is to complement the nuclear triad, so the critical opinion of American observers about these aircraft is just an information dump. This was stated by retired Colonel and military expert Anatoly Matviychuk.
Journalist Chris Osborne of National Security Journal previously stated that Tu-22M3 bombers allegedly struggle to survive in modern conflicts. According to him, operations involving missile carriers in "contested airspace" are becoming more dangerous.
I would like to ask Osborne: don't their B-1 or B-52 do the same thing? I think this is an information dump. This distorted information is an attempt to discredit the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
Matviychuk explained that the strategy for using the strategic missile carriers Tu-160, Tu-22M3 does not involve going into the enemy's rear. They strike remotely, without entering the air defense zone.
