Certainly hope some of those aircraft were casualties of this attack. Russia can build missiles, but the aircraft on not replaceable.
“Certainly hope some of those aircraft were casualties of this attack. Russia can build missiles, but the aircraft on not replaceable.”
Russia is building new Tu-160s they are the largest bomber in the world , while they look like a B-1B they are larger by mass and carry weight plus mach 2 capable. Russia is building 50 more of them and modernizing the 1980-90s ones. They are a huge missile truck. They got 3 new ones since 2023 and 5 more are being delivered by 2027. If the Ukes take out strategic weapons systems I would fully expect Russia to use tactical nuclear weapons in response as a warning to everyone else. It would be foolish for them to hit the strategic arms of Russia that’s a clear way to get nuked.
