I’m taking about Russia bomber
Tu160 is the fastest bomber in the world and it has same speed as F16.
I’m not comparing both if you read it fighters jets and heavy bombers.
I’m only pointing out how fast the Russia bomber can move

Baba you’re wrong. TU and F jets are different types of aircraft. One is a long range bomber, the other is a fighters jet.

Can we please stop shouting TU bomber here? It’s so unnecessary.

I’m low key praying that Ukraine leader and Russians seal a deal quick and end this war, it’s tiring to read news about dead people everyday sheesh

I’m not disputing its speed bro. But saying it hasn’t been used in Ukraine doesn’t make any sense cos they are designed for long range. Also, also F16 will easily shoot down a TU if they cross path. Cos a TU is more a less like a cargo plane that can delivery bombs fast and return home fast, that’s all.

Like I said, they are either destroyed or not working.
1. Russia is still operating its drones
2. Russia isn’t used the Iskander ballistic yet … infact every military analyst was waiting to see its capability but they haven’t used it instead it’s been using cruise missiles and recently the hypersonic missile that’s air launched.

S200 and 300 should be able to down those cruise missiles, even ballistic ones, and the jet that’s launching that hypersonic missile.

Like is said, it’s either been destroyed or they are not working against the Russians.

All downed Russian helicopters and aircrafts are credited to stingers and other heat seeking shoulder launched missiles. No be me talk am, it’s in both Western and Ukrainian news. Nobody ever talked about Ukrainian air defense downing any jets or missiles.
No, Downed Aircraft are not credited to stingers alone, the S missiles did too, i posted videos of Ukraine Airdefence going off past week.

Russia S200 and 300 missiles are not Good enough in intercepting ballastic missiles. Two ballastic missiles was actually intercepted yesterday.

Russia have used her bombers in Chechnya, Georgia and Syria.
You need to read about Tu160 before saying
Tu160 is not B52
TU-160 is operated by Russia military like a fighter jets meaning it can defend itself.
While USA escorts B52 and all her bombers around the clock, Russia bombers moved around mostly without any escorts especially Tu160

You mind pasting the new link where Russian keys are down using the Ukrainian air defense systems ?
The old ones they have are stationed in Kyiv and obviously not S-300s.
They are waiting for Slovekia to send s300 US promised.

I will check and send link, below picture was Ukraine S System going off and knocking down Russia jet. You can clearly see that is sufface to Air and not MANPADs missile.

Obviously they are not working or destroyed. So far, they’ve been only able to stop the Russian air advances using the stingers the US and Allie’s provided.

The link you provided did not state nor show that his air defense was downing Russian jets. That’s what we asked for.
Zelensky has been saying all sorts, he called NATO weak then praise them again. He said he’s not joining NATO anymore and this morning I just watch him talking about joining nato again.
He said he’s not meeting Putin, now he’s begging to meet him. Many videos showing manpads and stingers downing Russian helicopters have surfaced on the internet, not a single one or article talking about their air defense.

So that being said, saying it’s useless to ginger a no fly zone doesn’t mean they’re not working. If they’re useless then why’s he still accepting them. Why not just wait for the s300 that’s coming from Slovekia

Yes that picture shows something is flying …
1. Nothing was knocked down
2. Nothing indicate that it’s from Iran or US or Japan testing their airdefense.. that could have been from anywhere.

Again, all military aircraft this days are fitted with cyber capabilities and flares… that’s the extent of defending itself and that’s pretty standard but a TU cannot do a dog fight with a Fighters get. A TU is Russian version of B series of the US. A bomber is a bomber, a bomber cannot fly low like a fighters jet will go, a bomber cannot do a dog fight, a bomber is a lot bigger and it’s not maneuverable like a fighters jet.

I’m not arguing where it was used or not, I’m saying it was used for its purpose not to be used like a fighters jet. Go check your facts again.

I know Bombers can’t do dog fight.
I’m just saying Russia don’t want total destruction on Ukraine like they did in Georgia etc and that’s the reason Ukraine still have many cities still stand.
