Russia's Tu-160M strategic bomber: US cannot catch up with upgraded White Swan

The Tu-160M strategic bomber is Russia's weapon of deterrence, being an upgraded version of the Tu-160. The new aircraft, which made its debut flight on January 12, has upgraded engines, sophisticated avionics, new weapons control and electronic warfare systems.

"The plane was completely shaken up in terms of avionics, radio-electronic equipment, control systems, everything. That is, from an aircraft of the 20th century, it has become a warplane of the 21st century," Dmitry Drozdenko, a military analyst and chief editor of the Fatherland Arsenal Internet portal, told Sputnik.

"When NATO tried to intercept it, the plane simply folded its wings and in the blink of an eye, it was gone. The American F-35 fighters could not catch up merely in terms of speed," he said.

The Tu-160M is capable of carrying 12 long-range cruise missiles – including the non-nuclear Kh-555 and Kh-101, as well as the nuclear Kh-102 – in two launchers inside the fuselage.

"[The Tu-160M will perform] the same tasks that were previously performed by long-range aviation planes," Andrey Krasnoperov, military expert and Russian Aerospace major, told Sputnik.

"That is, they have a fairly long range, and they are the main carriers of [Russia's] bombs and strategic missiles. It is a weapon of deterrence."

The Tu-160M has no analogs in the world, Sputnik's interlocutors highlighted, adding that the US cannot boast having a similarly efficient, fast and cost-effective strategic bomber.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces seem to be using Bosnian 120mm M62P3 120mm mortar shells produced by PRETIS Vogošća.

It's also important to mention that Bosnia and Herzegovina is one of the top 10 manufacturers of ammunition in Europe.

The country inherited a significant portion of the former Yugoslavia’s military production capacities. In the past, some 51% of the total arms production within the former Yugoslavia was carried out on the territory of present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina.

————————-



The leading defence contractor is the state-owned concern UNIS-GROUP headquartered in Sarajevo.

This concern is composed of eight companies providing a wide range of arms products and services, most of which are centred on explosives and ammunition manufacture. Production of small arms ammunition of calibres 5.56 mm to 12.7 mm according to NATO and Russian standards is the responsibility of Igman, an ammunition factory founded in 1950, and based in Konjic.

Another member of UNIS-GROUP is Pretis, established in 1948. Its manufacturing plant is located in Vogošća, a suburb of Sarajevo where it manufactures mortar ammunition (60 mm, 81 mm, 82 mm, and 120 mm), artillery ammunition (76 mm, 90 mm, 105 mm, 122 mm, 130 mm, 152 mm, and 155 mm) and also tank ammunition (76 mm, 90 mm, 100 mm, and 125 mm). The product portfolio of Pretis also includes 122 mm, 128 mm and 262 mm artillery rockets, aircraft bombs and rifle grenades.

Residents of Avdeevka, who stayed until the capitulation of Ukrainian forces, pose with their Russian passports.

Most evacuees from Avdeevka go to the neighbour area, Yasinovata. Some of them come sick, even with pneumonia, but are treated and receive assistance on the spot.

In fact, Avdeevka and Yasinovata are a conurbation and before the war were the same district. It was only after then that Avdeevka became the point from which Ukrainian attacked civilians in the greater Donetsk area.

Welcome home, citizens of Avdeevka.

This France24 report is a very humanizing and realistic look at the mobilization to combat transition for Ukrainians becoming AFU.

I highly recommend everyone watches this video, it shows how not everyone in the AFU are bloodthirsty Nazis. Most are just normal people living normal lives caught in the right place at the wrong time. It also talks about how many soldiers went that through program are now wounded or killed (13:40).

If you commentate on this conflict I believe you should watch this to help form your opinion.
