Naa🤥. I’m ALWAYS skeptical about headlines so I don’t form opinions until I read the body and understand the various play on words used by the writer. More often than not, journalists have a narrative in which they want you to buy. I task it upon myself to check in the facts of the discourse.


Kudos to you brother for not being as lazy as us ancestors.. grin

Ah, and it's great knowing we still have people like yourself who recognize the underhanded joke the media sometimes pull with their catchy headlines. They sometimes do same with the information they display, one could be misled if not careful.

Russia and Soviet Union bombers 🤣🤣🤣

If you defect Soviet Union artillery’s from Russian military, Kenya will easily defeat Russia!

So much of old junks in the military!

Even the nuclear bombs they boast of, are mostly that of the defunct Soviet Union that are not even guaranteed to detonate
Una go open mouth waaaa dey talk rubbish. If Russia was as weak as you think it is, US would've messed them up the way the US did to many other countries. Russia is currently fighting more than 30 countries at the same time with Ukraine as the battleground and they're still coming tops, even the US of A can't achieve this

USA don’t use bombers to enter contested airspace.

For your information, Russia have more bombers in use than USA.
They learnt that in Vietnam where USA lost more bombers in their history apart from WW2.

sweetgala:


Okay....
In the last few years how many times has a bomber entered the NATO airspaces requiring a deployment of interceptors.
The Japanese are having to sent interceptors multiple times monthly.

Bomber are still the most dangerous item in many air forces globally.
It keeps most of these countries honest.

Like I said you only need one bomber to make it through to take out a capital city.
Bombers dominated the skies during WWII any future global conflicts would also be dependent on bombers

I don't think the Russians have enough bombers to be risking them when other assets would do.

Yes bombers are exposed to being attacked that's why they needed escorts, but you fail to respect them at your peril

I think you need to go find out what happened in the invasion of Iraq. Wasn't a long time ago.

Bombers were very active in the first phase of the invasion in neutralizing the air defences of the Iraq, also taking out air force resources to stop deployment of their Migs.

If it were a war scenario, those bombers you said will be shot down,
Note they didn't enter NATO air space,
Before you get to a country airspace, there is the ADIZ air defence identification zone, no Russia plane has ever gotten pass there,
If a plane get pasa the zone it is brought down.
Am not downplaying the role of a bomber all I am saying is that a slow moving bomber will be useless in today's type of warfare, expect you are facing a country without a decent air defence system.

The russia newest fighter jets the SU 34 , they are called fighter bomber jets, because they also have the ability to Carry air to ground payload, you can't be more wiser than the military planners in Moscow to incorporate a fighter jets with bombers ability.
The USA f35 also has the same qualities
The China jH7 is also a fighter bomber
Military planners know that you need a bomber that is fast and have flexible movement like a normal jets to be able to hit targets what are well guarded.

If Russia were to bomb this ahit hole Nigeria,
They don't need a su35.the slow moving Tupolev can do the needful, will the USA use a fast moving f35 ti bomber Nigeria
When they can use the b51

I think we agree on the tactical analysis of what the enemy air defence capacity is when deciding what assets to deploy and aas you've said given we have little to no air defence a B51 flying fortress of a Bear would suffice no need to send in fast movers. But how many countries in the world have a sufficient anti-air defence to match what the Russians, Americans or Chinese can deploy.

I've intentionally left out UK and many other Nato nations. Because the Russians China and US are able to overwhelm many air defence systems by swatting.

https://news.sky.com/story/raf-typhoon-jets-intercept-russian-bombers-flying-north-of-scotland-12939983

This incident is only a day old, I live here and know the issue of increased incidents of Russian planes entering the NATO airspaces even if on the outer fringes has become a topic of great discomfort, many people on the streets don't think there is enough capacity to deter them. There was also a close call where two jets almost came together during an interception not long ago.

Before the Ukrainians got stingers they were sitting ducks for Russian gunships and su25s. Note UK don't even have enough stingers in their inventory they've sent so many to Ukraine

What happened to the US air defence identification zone when a Chinese spy balloon violated the American Airspace?
what took the US so long to Identify the flying object before it was downed?

Am not downplaying the role of a bomber all I am saying is that a slow moving bomber will be useless in today's type of warfare, expect you are facing a country without a decent air defence system.

That Chinese balloon was a slow moving object, had it been it was laced with explosive projectiles it would have wrecked havoc on the US before it was intercepted. Judging by your claims above does it mean that the US is without a decent Air defence system, after they failed to quickly identify and downed a slow moving balloon?

Sometimes I wanna ignore you guys but it just hard.
Do you know the attitude of the air balloon
And besides NORAD tracked the balloon all the way form Canada before it even entered the USA territory, and it was agreed by the president to allow it to safety moved towards the Atlantic before it was safely brought down to prevent falling debris from causing damage.

A simple Google search will search will save you from this nonsense you wrote.

It still doesn't change the fact that if that balloon was armed with concealed missiles, it would have caused damaged because the delayed in bringing it down would have given it all the time it needed to strike it's target and accomplished it's supposed mission.

There is a difference between wartime and peace time,
The balloon was tracked all the way and the Chinese authorities also acknowledge that the air balloon was Thiers, a weather balloon blow astray by extreme weather.


For what it's worth.

Doubt we have any air defence system capable of picking off these advanced bombers, best would be dog fights and ofcourse our jets definitely can't climb higher than these bombers. They'd just bomb us into submission
Read about the B2. They say if you can see it, it was never meant for you grin

F22 and F35s are a waste of money and are just a PR asset at this stage. In a real scenario they can't perform like the other assets eg F16s and F18s.

Bombers are risky they are heavy slow,
Easy target for any country with a decent air defence system.

The Russian failure was due to financial capacity of their defence ministry and sukhoi. Even the F35 and F22 became a financial burden with the design cost & unit cost climbing astronomically before it entered service and till now they are using their political weight to sell units across the globe, didn't Australia and a few other nations cut their orders going for other platforms.
