The Greek word “strategy” expresses the concept of a meaningful plan to achieve the main goal. In military perspective, this means a directed sequence of actions in order to secure a victory in the armed conflict in General, without going into detail and elaborate on the individual stages. To accomplish this task, the modern armed forces of some countries have special funds. These include special reserves, missile forces, nuclear submarine fleet, and strategic aviation. The Russian air force in the two types of long-range bombers, capable of striking at remote sites virtually anywhere in the world.

Russia

A brief history of domestic strategic aircraft

The world's First strategic bombers appeared in the Russian Empire. The requirement for this class of airplanes was the ability to convey to the target a sufficiently large number of ammunition and to put the economy and industry in a hostile country significant damage.

strategic aviation of the Russian air force

60 bombers of the type "Ilya Murometz" who formed an air squadron, remaining invulnerable, is presented for the cities and factories of the Austro-Hungary and Germany serious danger throughout the First world war, during which lost only one aircraft of this type.

The Revolution and the Civil war set back the development of the aviation industry. School aircraft was lost, the designer “diving” Sikorsky emigrated from the country, and the remaining copies of the world's first long-range bomber ignominiously killed. The new authorities had other worries, their plans did not include the defense. The Bolsheviks dreamed of a world revolution.

Aircraft for defense

Strategic aviation of Russia on its concept were defensive weapons, as the capture of a ruined industrial base, as a rule, not included in the plans of the aggressor. In the prewar years in the USSR there was created the unique bomber TB-7, superior to the best example of this class B-17 "Flying fortress". It is on this plane Molotov visited in 1941, the Kingdom, freely breaking the airspace of Nazi Germany. However, the standard is a miracle of technology was not made.

combat strength of the Russian aviation

After the war, the Soviet Union was copied the American B-29 (Tu-4), the need for this type of aircraft became urgent after the occurrence of the nuclear threat, and time to develop their own design is not enough. However, with the advent of jet interceptors obsolete and this bomber. Required new solutions, and they were found.

strategic aviation nuclear weapons of Russia

Rocket or plane?

Along with the nuclear submarine missile-carrying submarines and Intercontinental ballistic missiles, countering global threats and solve strategic aviation. Nuclear weapons Russia's media class is divided into these three components, forming a kind of triad. After the emergence of quite sophisticated ICBM in 50-e years the Soviet leadership had certain illusions about the universality of this means of delivery but the design work started under Stalin, decided to stay.

The Major incentive to continue research in the field of building heavy car with a large radius of action was the adoption of the US air force in 1956 of B-52 bomber, who had subsonic speed and great combat load. A symmetrical response was a Tu-95 four-engine jet with swept wings. As time has shown, the decision to develop this project was the right one.

Tu 95 vs B-52

After the collapse of the USSR, the strategic carrier of nuclear weapons Tu-95 entered the combat strength of the Russian aviation. In spite of its age, this machine continues to serve as a missile. Big, powerful and durable design allows you to use it as launcher, airborne, and overseas analogue of the B-52. Both aircraft entered service almost at the same time and have roughly similar specifications. And the Tu-95 and B-52 at the time costly for the States, but designed and made on the conscience, therefore have a very long lifespan. Voluminous bomb Bay doors can accommodate cruise missiles (Kh-55), which can start with the side that creates the conditions for a nuclear strike without crossing the border of the attacked country.

long-range aviation of the Russian Federation received a new strategic plane

After the modernization of Tu-95MS and the dismantling of the dumping arrangements for free-fall munitions are actually long-range aviation of the Russian Federation received a new strategic aircraft equipped with modern navigation equipment and guidance systems.

Missile bases, air-launched

Besides the United States, only the Russian Federation there is a Park long-range bombers. Since 1991 he has been dormant, the state lacked funds to maintain the technical readiness and even fuel. Only in 2007 Russia resumed strategic aviation flights over thedifferent regions of the world, including along the U.S. coasts. Missile carriers Tu-95 carried out non-stop in the air for almost two days, to produce refuel and return to the base, demonstrating the ability in the event of a nuclear conflict to contribute to the impact of the global retribution. But not only these machines can accomplish the task of deterrence. There is also a supersonic strategic aircraft of Russia.

the structure of strategic aviation in the Soviet Union and Russian

Don't shoot "white Swan" it is useless

Adopting the USAF widely announced back in the seventies, the strategic supersonic bomber B-1 could not remain unnoticed by the Soviet leadership. In the early eighties, Soviet air fleet was added with a new aircraft, the Tu-160. After the Soviet collapse, Russia inherited most of them, except the cut for scrap in the Ukraine ten pieces and one "White Swan", which became a Museum exhibit in Poltava. According to its technical and flight characteristics of the bombers is an example of a new generation, it has variable sweep wing, four jet engine, the stratospheric ceiling (21 thousand meters) and much greater than the Tu-95 combat load (45 tons vs. 11). The main advantage of the "White Swan" - supersonic speed (up to 2200 km/h). The radius of the combat use allows to reach the American continent. The intercept of the plane with these parameters professionals is problematic.

Conditional strategic Tu-22

The Structure of strategic aviation in the Soviet Union and Russia have a lot in common. The fleet inherited, it can serve for a long time, but mostly consists of two types of machines - the Tu-95 and Tu-160. But there is another bomber, which does not fully corresponds to the strategic objective, although it can make a decisive contribution to the result of a global conflict. Tu-22M is not considered severe and is classified as medium, he develops supersonic speed and can carry a large number of cruise missiles. This plane has the characteristic of Intercontinental bombers range, and therefore are deemed to have been strategic. It is intended for drawing of blows on bases and staging areas potential enemy in Asia and Europe.

Russia resumed flights of strategic aviation

Will there be new strategic bombers?

Russia currently consists of dozens of machines three main types (Tu-160, Tu-95 and Tu-22). They are not new, considerable time spent in the air and perhaps to some it may seem that these machines need to be replaced. Journalists, far from military issues, sometimes referred to as “Bear” Tu-95 relic machine. It should, however, consider any phenomenon in comparison. The Americans scrapped its B-52 send is not going to fly it sometimes grandchildren of the first pilots, they have mastered, however, these air giants junk no name-calling. New types of strategic bombers of our likely opponents yet to build, as far as we know, not planning on counting them, perhaps, rapidly aging a moral class of technology. Most likely, the Russian side will not initiate a new arms race.
