Vladimir Putin taunts West with flight on ex-Soviet nuclear-capable bomber
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 вер 2024
- Russian President Vladimir Putin flew on a modernized Tu-160M nuclear-capable strategic bomber on Thursday (February 22) in a move likely to be seen in the West as a pointed reminder of Moscow's nuclear capabilities.
The giant swing-wing plane, codenamed "Blackjacks" by military alliance NATO, is a modernized version of a Cold War-era bomber that the former Soviet Union would have deployed in the event of nuclear war to deliver weapons at long distances.
Putin, who is expected to easily win another six-year term next month, made the flight at a time when Moscow and the West are at odds over Russia's war in Ukraine and the death in prison of opposition politician Alexei Navalny.

Several months ago they said Putin was very sick and bedridden and now the fella riding jets and trucks like a commoner in the field. Let's forget wishful thinking but Putin is as strong and healthy as a stallion.
🤣🤣🤣👍
Врут ваши СМИ😂
Путин конечно красавчик, и мы его поддерживаем. Вы даже не представляете, как ему тяжело. Поэтому мы просим Бога здоровья и верных друзей для Президента России 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
Car Putin 🙏🇲🇰🇷🇺💚
Fre-e Demo-satannic media 😂
That is a freaking nice plan. Russian has so much beauty. Hope one day we could be friends again.
Yes, Trump's genius Moscow friend, Comrade KGB Col. Putin would love that more than anything.
So long as he gets to take a little more "buffer land" --- from his western front, from former Easter Bloc nations who've been illegally turned against Russia --- to add to his 11 time zone Russia (that 11-time zone land of Russia is ~90% of the COMBINED lands of the US and China, the 3rd and 4th largest lands on earth).
Everyone knows, as Trump loves to say it, that peace loving, gentle Russia is always in danger of being invaded by aggressive Western Europeans and their Masters, the Evil Yankees.
And, no, that "freaking nice PLAN" from the days of the USSR wouldn't be flying, if again Russia wasn't pushed --- by the evil, aggressive, warmongering West --- into taking a few thousand square miles from Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, Finland, etc. as self-protecting acts...
Pffftttt😂
It’s a copy of B1 Lancer.
Made by Rockwell International in the 80s.
Yes I agree. There's no reason we couldn't be friends with Russia except for our idiotic government that insists on fighting with them. I have great respect for President Putin.
@musiclintuition Well the best way to do that is to get rid of the trouble-making democrats and their bull crap!! Heck, they screw even their own country!!!
His is the greatest leader the world has ever had, imagine the world without a man who is able to stand the greed of western leaders.
Oh dear greedy western leaders? I don't think any of them can match the greed of others we frequently see.
Nah. Idi Amin was the greatest. He conquered the British Empire and all fishes in Africa
That is what a real president looks like. Smart. Strong, brave, ju jitsu expert.. the exact opposite of our overlords
you mean warlords.
lol 😂
Lol this is what a real DICTATOR looks like. Lol this was the only plane russia had that could fit one of those crazy long tables putin likes to sit at… 😂 putin is such a xuilo… 😂

So impressive seeing as it was a town of about, 30,000 prior to the war.
That’s embarrassing. 40k russian soldiers to take a town of 30k, and 2 years into a 3 day mission
so funny those who did not lose soldiers lost Avdiivka hence they are not forcing mass mobilisation and not kidnapping even old man to join ukraine troops to meet Russia meatgrinder,for 1 Russian soldier ukraine lose 43 soldiers including Nato weapons.@@Cannon_Fodder_Russians

Shame on Ukraine, which has constant mobilization, and people are being forcibly taken away to die, this means that there are not enough people in Ukraine! And there was only one mobilization in Russia, and Russia is heading for victory! It cannot be changed!!! The West will only delay the inevitable

Well he won’t because that ladder is on a antique that belongs in a museum.
It was STAGE 😂
Would be nice, but we only have such old airplanes in our museums.
The media really doesn't focus on that anymore.
I wish my president was this cool! Step your game up sleepy Joe!
Big deal he took a ride in a plane...
''ex-soviet'' lol how hard is it for you to admit that putin flew a new t-160m made in russia kazan,where the bombers were have always been made even during the ussr,i get it you still have chest pains over the failure of your ballistic missile test but give credit where it should be given

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Cannon_Fodder_Russians nope, it said right in the video that NATO refers to the Tu-160 as "Blackjack". Also The Tu-160 is the fastest missile-carrying bomber in service in the world, capable of reaching speeds up to 2,200 kilometers per hour (1,370 mph). By contrast, the US’s B-1B Lancer strategic bomber has a speed of more than 900 mph, according to the Air Force.
@@rebfurr3554stealth bomber says hello 😅😂😂
Nato living rent free in your head...
Russia keeping and modernizing its Tu-160 bombers shows the ingenuity of Russian /Soviet engineering which produces aviation technologies that transcend generations. it's the soundness and .durability of their designs that make their aircraft upgradeable and more versatle through time. Very noticeable eh?
This aircraft was designed and built by the Soviets… 😂 It’s a carbon copy of the Rockwell B-1 Lancer. But please, keep the rus propaganda going in case you might fool someone.
@@Rocket_scientist_88 No such thing as the Tu-160 being a carbon copy of the B-1 Lancer. While both aircraft began their origins in the 1970s, with the B-1 envisioned by the US govt as "penetrator" of Soviet air space, and the Tu-160 as a deterrent or response to the threat of the B-1, their similarities end with their silhouettes, only. . The Tu-160 , is a bigger aircrft, has bigger engines, has a wider wingspan, is much heavier and has more payload, has a longer flight range, etc, thsn the B-1. Let's all be honest the Tu-160 is /was never a carbon copy of the B-1, and it stands alone as a marvel of Russian engineering. No Russ propaganda here at all.

@@rickandbrandonshowmaybe you copy from the Russian sun?
@chillwill5080 funny. keep reassuring yourself. hint - this plane carries strategic missiles, not bombs. and when it launches, it’s not the plane that will turn into burning wreckage, but...
The Tu-160 is the fastest missile-carrying bomber in service in the world, capable of reaching speeds up to 2,200 kilometers per hour (1,370 mph). By contrast, the US’s B-1B Lancer strategic bomber has a speed of more than 900 mph, according to the Air Force. The B-21 only has a max speed of 621 mph so the Russian plane can literally fly circles around either of the American planes. LMAO It doesn't fly like any of our nuclear bombers either... it outpaces them by a huge margin.
@chillwill5080 and yet Putin got on one? What does that say about your statement?

This is not a Soviet bomber, this is a new Russian Tu 160 m. It differs from the Soviet one with new digital avionics, new weapons and many other things.
And new engine

Nope most planes can not. That’s why they have designated bombers and fighter bombers. This is one of russias main nuclear forces so yes this means something. These are also new Tu-160M.
