It hasn’t failed yet. Ivan needs to call in some “arc light” strikes.

No sense having heavy bombers if you’re afraid to lose some in combat.

Do remember the Russian Congress has not even mobilized its massive army yet, it is obvious their regular military ( 900,000 plus) is in place if NATO decides to do something stupid. Vlad is doing just fine with his 130,000 in Ukraine, exactly why it is a SMO ( special military operation)….do note India is currently participating in joint Russian / Indian military operations.

Thanks to the senile old man, 75 percent of the world populations military is aligned against us. War cheerleaders, wake up before it is to late.

That brings back memories being stationed at NKP Thailand working at the site that guided the Arc Light campaigns in Cambodia. "Hack".

I understand Zelensky ordered a total blackout on their media and the public from posting any news or photos on line about this counter-offensive.

The TU-22 backfire is a supersonic bomber capable of low level strikes. Very difficult to hit when low and very, very fast.

It carries up to 53,000 pounds of ordnance.

There are 66 in service.

Barely 10 have been used so far and then from far out.

Baffling.
