The Tupolev Tu-22M weapon upgrade is quite impressive

- The Backfire weapon upgrade is quite impressive, enhancing the bomber’s capabilities against both land targets and surface ships. In addition to the new land-attack missiles (the Kh-101 and Kh-555, according to Russian press), there reportedly will be at least two long-range ultrahigh-speed dual-capable (nuclear and conventional) missiles with land-attack and antiship capability. This is important because the Department of Defense has said the United States currently has no defense against hypersonic missiles. Backfire’s manufacturer, Tupolev, claims the improved Backfire bomber will be operational in 2021.
Not only does the TU-22M3 have improved range, but according to Russian state media it also carries the new Kh-32 long-range supersonic cruise missile. The Kh-32 travels just below hypersonic speed and is a dual-capable (nuclear and conventional) antiship and land-attack cruise missile. Sputnik News states its speed is Mach 4.1 and TASS puts it at more than Mach 5. That appears too high, except perhaps in a terminal dive, but even at Mach 4 at 130,000 feet it is a very serious threat, possibly invulnerable to existing Western air-defense systems.
According to Russian media and other Russian publications, the Kh-32’s range is 620 miles. Sputnik News and Russia Beyond the Headlines report that it is nuclear capable, which is confirmed in the 2018 U.S. Nuclear Posture Review. Russia Beyond the Headlines reports the Kh-32’s accuracy within a few yards and warhead weight limit at 1,002 pounds. This gives a powerful conventional antiship warhead capability as well. The Kh-32 reportedly became operational in 2016. If so, more than 100 operational Backfire bombers could be carrying it now.
The Kh-32 makes it more difficult to intercept the Backfire before weapons-release range. The Soviet-era Kh-22 (still reportedly operational) has half the range of the new weapon. While post-Cold War U.S. Navy fighters have much better radars and avionics than the F-14, they lack its long-range (and even the F-14 range would not be adequate against a Kh-32-armed aircraft). The longer range of the Tu-22M3M complicates a carrier strike group’s ability to set up a barrier defense. The extreme speed of the missile reduces flight time by a factor of four compared to a subsonic antiship missile, reducing the defensive value of locational uncertainty between launch and impact time.

Tu-22M3 is one of the sexiest AC out there
Can't believe I only found your channel now. You've got another subscriber!
Hey, thanks!

@Monte kristo You are a victim of propaganda, man, Russia was in a bad state in the 90's. Your government sent troops all over the world and dropped bombs and sowed death, especially on innocent civilians. very often some of your countrymen kill dozens of people at once. You currently have more African Americans in prisons than there have ever been slaves. You have more homeless people in LA than in the whole of Russia. In Europe, without the approval of the Security Council, you bombed a sovereign state Yugoslavija, killed more civilians than soldiers, and called the action a merciful angel.
@Monte kristo You just write about US
@American" russia only attack vulnerable small state" sounds like what the us normally do
@American there will be no russia? Huh I thought we had a lot more nukes
Well explained ,nice.
I remember the novel with the title "Red Storm Rising". It depicts scenarios of WW 3. Russia deployed a lot of backfire bombers against an American Carrier group. Not sure of the number of missiles released by the backfire but what was certain according to the novel was 2 missiles got through the defenses and was able to disable the carrier.
i own the novel.
Read also as well. The soviets use a very clever ruse. First they launch a salvo of obsolete missiles with transponders to lure away the carrier's air wing and then the Tu-22s fire the shipwrecks on the carrier group.
@@ilnigromante666 Shipwreck is ship fired. Accurately its AS 4 Kitchen.
This situation has worsened for the US now as both China and Russia can sink US Nimitz class carriers. Only one missile has to get through to seriously disable the carrier and end its air operations. I have a feeling Iran may also have this capability?
@@nigelmaund9057 Iran may or may not have gotten around embargoes with C802 missiles.
Great channel just subcribed
so beautiful craft 😍
No other country ever made something on same level. With the new missiles this plane can sink an entire carrier fleet.
That's wrong you gotta study both sides not just a single plane if it was that simple the us would have decimated vietnam
This is just a poor man’s B1...look at how clunky it looks.

Don't trigger the septic tanks.

2:28-the first pictures of the Backfire I've seen had those intakes (similar to the MiG-23/-27) on it instead of the current ones with the MiG-25/-31 style intakes
The M2 had those intakes, M3 has the Mig25 style intakes.
Keen eye
Tu 22 had nothing to do with Tu 22m. Two different aircraft.
If you wanna make "tu 22" clear just call it the tu 22 blinder :)
TU22M3M
The other TU-22 is the maneater
This is a perfect candidate for the Russians to deploy stealth on.. No need to worry about super cruising but full stealth including internal bomber bays, twisted inlets, AESA radar(s) etc along with existing suits will really make this an excellent weapon delivery system.
It is reportedly being developed. We will see soon I hope
Nope. Stealth increases drag and logistics footprint. With the ranges the new missiles have, starting speed is the best attribute
You can’t just make any aircraft stealthy. It has to be properly shaped and integrate stealth coatings into its design.
Russian Radar Absorbing Material is pretty terrible so even an austere modification would be limited in capability.

On 23 March 2021, a Tu-22M3's ejection system malfunctioned, suddenly activating while still on the ground. The incident resulted in the deaths of three crew members and the hospitalization of a fourth.[105] An official from Russia's Defense Ministry said that "due to the insufficient altitude for parachute opening, three crewmembers received fatal injuries upon landing.
The aircraft was at Shaykovka Air Base undergoing engine start procedures.
sad.... RIP to the crew members
With an operational range of just 5500 km it is not a longrange bomber. Merely a medium range bomber.
@@jacapopol6382 they cant do shit with their GDP even lower than italy holy smokes 😆
@@singh3571 they spend less and have better tech than your corrupt welfare system of a military, cope more zombie.
@@myopicthunder No, their military/industrial complex is hideously inefficient. Russia employs about 539,000 in its defense related industries. Over double what America employs. Yet it only has half of the profits America does in that industry.
And there you see why Russia invariably backs foreign autocrats, despots, and dictators. Because those are the guys who buy Russian military hardware. 539,000 Russian jobs depend on them!
@@ashcarrier6606 their defense design bureaus employing more people isn't a bad thing, their primary objective isn't profits but achieving objectives set by the government, your defense industries only purpose is to skin the American tax payer and here you are boasting about it lol so many Russian weapons have no American analogue or counter measure, you waste billions on pipedreams and don't even have a supersonic AShM, most of your tech is outdated and not even maintained to a useable standard, you're going the way of the USSR really fast buddy.
@David Moore they won't be involved directly but they'll help indirectly and probably make a move on Israel/Turkey/Saudi Arabia and Ukraine/Baltics if the US insist on dragging them in.
I would of called it Star Scream
Looks like “Jetfire” from the “Transformers “.
She is simply gorgeous. In an ideal world US would buy these and Russia buy B2s. Sad. Two countries with so much possibility for partnership and mutual benefit. The way the Russian aircraft are so self-contained to load and arm to fuel, to service rapidly is just genius.

What I find most impressive is how it canrapidly lose altitude by performing the Helicopter maneuver. Just ask the Ukrainian air defence!

Based on the Tu22.. Wtf. Have you seen a Tu22? They only share name because of Soviet politics.
I have seen this plane on radar: it was over the Sea of Japan and I was about 400 nautical miles away! It has a massive radar profile. Easy hunting!!!
yeah and they can launch missiles from many thousands of miles away; your point?

The claim that the Tu-22M is based on the design of the Tu-22 is simply not true. These are two completely different aircrafts. And the fact that in 2021 a person who claims to be a weapons expert is still making such mistakes only says that the disinformation was successful.
The Tu22M is a further development of the TU22
Impressive, come on Uncle Sam wake up !! Our enemies have the jump on us !!
As much as the Deep State would like it to be, Russia is not your enemy.
WTF are you talking about. America as B-2 and now B-21; no other country has anything close to that. These are old soviet cold war era junk. The only useful bomber Russia has is Tu-160 and that is why they are restarting production.
@@hasupe6520 don't underestimate your enemy, its your downfall

Now if they can just keep them from breaking in half during landing.
@The Happy Misogynist there's no point in having this discussion trust me, I've seen a lot of those USA simps before.
@@georgeantabi6025 I'm pretty sure there's a video of one breaking in half and bursting into flames on landing. It was obvious they were going way too fast but it did break in half.
It's insane how america is retiring everything and russia is still building
Russia has fast missiles and still cannot win a war!!!
Where's evidence of "exaggerated" claims?
Simply the fact that it is a statement made by a press agency.
Big non stealth sitting duck (or big non stealth white swan if you like LOL! )
The US Navy Aegis destroyer with SM-3 block II/A missile will toast these planes from 750 NM out.
68 Arleigh Burke-class Guided Missile Destroyers (DDG) with (150) SM-3 block II/A missiles each...Plus SM-6 block III
Blah blah blah… that’s what the long range missiles are for
SM-3 is exo-atmospheric only.
The Burke is limited to ~96 VLS cells depending on configuration.
At the same time Russia only has 63 Tu-22M aircraft in service. In the Soviet days that would be only about 2-3 regiments, doctrinally only enough to attack a battlegroup with a single super-carrier. With the prevalence of AEGIS ships, I doubt that number is still sufficient.
Attacking the bombers is primarily done in the Outer Air Battle, carried out by fighters, and, if time allows, through a SAM trap DDG or CG. Defense against the missiles is part of the Inner Air Battle done primarily with SAMs.
If I were a Russian pilot I’d hope that I wasn’t expected to get within 1000 kilometers of a CVBG. Given that Kinzhal lacks terminal homing, Russia lack any capability to meaningfully attack CVBGs outside of Submarines as the Russian surface Navy is a joke and expecting them to live longer than a few hours to a day in a shooting war is wishful thinking.
@@aidanmattson681 A joke😂. Very good joking😂. Aegis or what other bullshit you said only theory never happen in a real world , only theory theory theory😂. US never win a single war solo in real world😂. Afghanist lost , iraq invite 29 nato country😂. US lost againts a rebel what a joke US is ?
Well, Kinzhal is a failure and is handily knocked out of the sky by Patriot so I don't see it doing that well against a carrier group sporting multiple Aegis equipped cruisers, Destroyers and Frigates.
I think most of these bombers, fighters, are ment to wreak havoc on like 3rd world developing nations
F14 bigger version
No. Actually it's a stretched Tornado. You can tell by the engine intakes, and the two engines close together at the back.
@@nitram419 wow I've never noticed that lol
S 400
the Tu-22M strategic bomber will be phased out of service at the same time USAF mothballs or scrap its fleet of B-52 Stratofortress!!! B-52 & Tu-22M are no longer viable in present combat scenarios except for draining out cash!!! Russian Air Force should get rid of it's entire large bomber fleet & assign the role of strategic bombing to it's fleet of upgraded MIG-31 high altitude fighter bombers!!! and USAF should dump it's B-52 & ½ of it's B1 Lancer medium strategic bomber & reassign long range strike capability to the B-52 stealth bomber!!!
The Russian military hardware is the best in the world 🌎
To much propaganda
Haha yeah sure it is vlad... that’s what Russians said during the soviet era... how’d that work out for you drunks?
@@theflanman420420 How did the American high tech work out in Afghanistan?
Man has russia's military shown to be crappy this year.
US show useless and weak military in 20 years later😂
Second.
Not that this missile will put more bread on the tables of the Russian citizens (or make their public healthcare better, But it makes the Russians feel more proud (despite the state of the Russian infrastructure, public health, economy, retirement, and CORRUPTION).
For all "Sofa experts" that earned their PhD in Geopolitics and military studies sitting in their mom's attic watching UA-cam videos:
This video is for internal consumption. Mind you all that a chance of a war between Russia / US / China etc. is closer to getting your car hit by an asteroid. However this kind of discussion destructs the Russian citizens (And, recently the US citizens as well) from discussing the real issues that affect our daily lives, such as economical / social situation, state of corruption and investment in infrastructure, public health, education and other topics that need attention. Standard slight of hand trick, cynically exploited by our politicians to keep the "regular citizens" under control, without them noticing they've been "taken for a ride". At the end of the day the worst scenario for all politicians is that the regular mortals wake up and realize the the war is not between us, but between the regular citizens and their "leaders" (the only use for them that I see, is to be processed for dog food).
To the point of those "scary supersonic missiles". Objectively speaking, the difference between military capabilities of Russia vs. this of the US is not even a subject to comparison. The Pentagon, as well as, top Russian Brass and Putin know this fact very well. There are other reasons why the Pentagon will never admit this (MIC). That's why the Russian defense doctrine has not changed since 1987.
In an unlikely scenario of a full fledged war between the US and Russia, the defining factors (specifically talking about TU22 ) are their combat cycle (I bet are over 12 hours and operational / maint. is around 1/ 14 to 1 / 25) leads to a negligible cumulative impact of these missiles on the US military targets. Further discussion is a waste of time.

The TU-160 is far better, the Tu-22M was shot down by Georgia in 2008
Doesnt mean the 22 is bad...Georgia had some decent air defenses and the 22 was put at risk

You can't compare Land bombing operations with Naval Strike Missions. It's two comoletely different settings
But in 12 years it's undergone substantial modification and enhancement. So the argument hardly applies?
