The Story of Ukraine’s Heavy Bombers. How Russia uses them against Ukraine? Ty-22M3, Ty-160, Ty-95MC

Подробнее о видео

Most missile attacks on Ukraine’s cities and infrastructure involve Russia's strategic aviation, such as the Tu-22M3 “Backfire,” Tu-95MS“Bear," and Tu-160 “White Swan.” At one point, Ukraine had more than 100 of these planes in its arsenal. But things went downhill quickly after Ukraine’s independence, with financial debts and international pressure for disarmament. Our team visited the former airfield of the 185th Heavy Bomber Aviation Regiment in Poltava, where the last of these planes now stand as museum pieces. There, we met ex-pilots who once flew these bombers to discuss the fate of Ukraine’s strategic air fleet—and how Russia now uses it against Ukraine.
