In the West, recognized, the idea that the Russian Ministry of Defense to make long-range supersonic bomber Tu-22M3 aircraft carrier the latest hypersonic missile system X-47m2 “Dagger”, It is very effective. Edition of Popular Mechanics wrote, Such a combination allows videoconferencing Russian strike from long distances, without entering the action potential enemy air defense zone.
According to the publication the author, Russia's long-range bomber Tu-22M3 can operate at a distance of 3400 miles, a range of complex lesions “Dagger” is 1200 miles. In this way, says the author, Tandem bomber and missile system can strike at a distance 4600 miles from home airfield. And given the fact, that the bomber after the upgrade will be able to strike is not one, and four hypersonic missiles, which can be equipped with nuclear warheads heads, impact strength of such combinations arises repeatedly, especially, that rocket complex “Dagger” with the same ease as a striking surface, and sea targets.
recall, that the Defense Ministry plans to make a supersonic long-range bomber Tu-22M3 aircraft carrier four hypersonic missile complex “Dagger”, that would make the aircraft more efficient against the carrier battle groups and goals, under the protection of air defense and missile defense.
