What's new

Russia again started production of heavy nuclear bombers after collapse of ussr

. . .
I don't think bombing cities and air raids in case of WW3 will the same as in WW2 , Anti aircraft missiles will pound these bombers ...

they may produce stealth version of these and can perform same role as b52 of u.s

I suspect they'll be used to carry long range cruise missiles like the US uses the B-52. This plane would merely get to within ~1000km of the target and then release the long range cruise missiles. It's a quicker way than moving via ships, and isn't a balistic missile launch.

Can't wait to see PAK-DA - new generation heavy bomber.

Is it under construction yet? I have been hearing about it or a while.

Do you have photos of the design or is there a prototype yet?

Modern air launched strategic cruise missiles like Kh-101 have range exceeding 4000 km. Air defense can't even touch these bombers unless they bomb the airbase.

First fighter jets shot down enemy's Fighter jets/ SEAD/DEAD assets then bombers comes into play @Yaseen1

First Russian fighter jet came with those Bombers for escort defending USN and USAF fighter jets in Atlantic Ocean @undertakerwwefan

How many counteies have very long range anti aircraft missiles ?

These bombees will be use to take care of less defended eemy and even for well defended enemy the fire power of cruise missiles they can bring is cruicial speciall in negating the area denial mode ... for example if a base is protected by air defences then such bombers can launch 10 cruise missile to destroy the anti aircraft sysyem in a sinle mission and in the next mission the base is defence less ...

These are not WW2 era Bombers that will fly over cities and drop Tons of dumb bombs.Along with the ability of conventional bombing raids These Modern strategic bombers are armed with standoff Long Range ALCMs and ALBMs that can inflict massive damage to targets without entering enemy air space and have long range and are extremely Deadly in hands of nuclear powers.
Plus a raid on enemy target by bombers is not done in isolation, It is combined with sabotaging enemy air defenses by ground teams and Wild Weasel Missions by strike aircraft and escorted from Air Superiority fighters to carry out their objective.

is it a replacement for Tu-160 bombers ??
Cant say anything about the Capabilities of any modern Russian Program. PAKFA, ARMATA, PAKDA, S400 etc compared to their Soviet Union Predecessors comparing to the Era-Capability Spectrum. They are way too much over hyped by international observers because people still don't want to stop seeing Russia in Shadow of Former Soviet Union. Russia does best what it have to do to defend itself and its interests considering it economy. But we want Soviet Union Vibes from Russia which is honestly not possible for now.

Imagine is Russia has achieved capability of such a sensor fusion that a target locked by a fighter aircraft in front can be taken down by missiles in the strategic bomber. It will be disasterous campaign for adversary. Fighter aircrafts need not to carry any ground attacking ammunition and they can achieve air superiority whereas bomber can bomb the targets provided by fighter aircrafts present in the hot zone ...

However, these aircrafts are really expensive to maintain and fly. Even expensive then fighter aircrafts.

one of major threat to these bombers is u.s and nato electronic warfare which sweden has recently revealed,so russia need to develop capabilities to counter such attacks as well as cyber attacks
