Superman firefighters of TU-160 can carry nuclear weapons. They are the most expensive in Russian arsenal.
After the blows of Ukrainian drones on Russian air bases, Russia took part in the most important aircraft far from Ukrainian borders. On Wednesday, June 11, write The telegraph.
The publication indicates that along with two TU -160 missile carriers were moved at a distance of about 6437 kilometers from the front line – to the remote base of the Anadyr.
“Satellite images show that you can get to this airport just by wind or sea. It is located on the Chukchi Peninsula, in a deserted region about 660 kilometers from Alaska. The air base was built during the Cold War to protect against possible attacks from the United States,” written by the publication.
Those who set up -160 supersonic bombers emphasize that nuclear weapons can be considered the most expensive aircraft in Russian military arsenal -the estimated cost of one is about $ 500 million. For the comparison, the American B-52 stratoofortress, which is the basis of the US bomber aircraft, costs about $ 94 million.
However, the TU-160 differs not only in price, but also a rarity: according to estimates, only in Russia 16 such aircraft is in service. At the same time, according to Ukrainian side statements, some of them were damaged as a result of the drone attack on June 1 during the web operation.
Professor Justin Bronka, senior researcher from the Royal Institute of the United Armed Forces, records that satellite images of the Base in Anadyr may indicate Kremlin’s desire to reduce the risks of additional drones.
Remember that on June 1, the SBU conducted a unique special operation with the simultaneous defeat of four military airfields behind Russia: Deer, Ivanovo, Diaghilevo and Belaya. There, the strategic aviation of the Russian Federation was based, which was regularly fired in peaceful cities of Ukrainian.
The estimated cost of the affected equipment exceeds $ 7 billion. The total loss of aviation of the Russian Federation was 41 units, including the A-50, TU-95, TU-162, TU-160 aircraft, as well as the AN-12 and IL-78.
