Video captured the fall of a Russian strategic bomber

A Russian strategic bomber Tu-22M3 crashed during a training flight in the Irkutsk region of Siberia. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the crew parachuted out safely, and there were no casualties or damage on the ground. Footage shared by channels close to Russian security circles showed the aircraft crashing nose-first into a forested area near the Angara River. Unverified reports suggest the crash occurred near the town of Svirsk, approximately 50 kilometers northwest of the Belaja airbase. This base houses the 220th Heavy Bomber Regiment, equipped with Tu-22 and Tu-95 bombers,

Tupolev byl podle agentury TASS na plánovaném cvičném letu, proto letěl bez munice. Havaroval, když se blížil na přistání. Posádce se podařilo se katapultovat.

„Životy a zdraví pilotů nejsou ohroženy. Na zemi nejsou žádné škody. Na místě havárie pracuje komise generálního ředitelství vzdušných sil Ruské federace,“ píše se ve stručném prohlášení ruského ministerstva obrany.

Podle telegramového kanálu Astra bombardér nejspíš startoval z letiště Bělaja, které bylo loni jedním z cílů bezprecedentní ukrajinské operace Pavučina. Při ní bylo poškozeno nebo zničeno 41 ruských letadel, mezi nimi i klíčové stroje strategického letectva jako Tu-95MS a právě Tu-22M3. Bělaja se nachází zhruba 30 kilometrů od místa havárie.

Tupolev Tu-22M3 (v kódu NATO „Backfire“) je nadzvukový strategický bombardér s měnitelnou geometrií křídel z konce 60. let 20. století, který byl průběžně modernizován. Může nést konvenční i jaderné zbraně. Během studené války byl v sovětském letectvu určený jako stroj ke strategickému bombardování v rámci Evropy a u sovětského námořního letectva především jako nosič střel k útokům na seskupení kolem amerických letadlových lodí.

V roce 2014 měli Rusové ve službě více než stovku Tu-22M. V roce 2023 ukrajinská rozvědka odhadovala, že Rusko má v provozuschopném stavu pouze 27 letadel. Po ukrajinské akci Pavučina počet zmíněných tupolevů, které ruské letectvo využívá mimo jiné k ostřelování Ukrajiny, klesl pod dvě desítky.
