"To the weight of gold": an expert named the planes that could lose Russian after a blow to airfields
According to him, in Morozivsk there is a main base of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, on which tactical aviation is concentrated. It is about Su-34, Su-27, Su-30, Su-30, Su-24 "Su-34 planes, are front bombers that are used directly for strokes using cabin, that is, the main such" working bird "that uses this component ", - Kovalenko said. As for the aerodrome in Engels, as the expert said, there is mostly strategic aviation.
If there were also successful "arrivals", then the Russian Federation could lose the aircraft T-22m3 or Tu-95MC. They can be damaged or completely destroyed. Kovalenko said that Tu-95MC is a plane used during shelling of the Russians of Ukraine. It produces ruling rockets X-101/X-555. "But the most important thing is that Russia can not produce these aircraft today. The Russian Federation lacks the production of Tu-95MC, they only exploit the Soviet heritage," Kovalenko said.
According to him, several dozen strategic aircraft remained in a capable state in Russia. However, the capable ones may be smaller. There are planes that are on repair or needed. "The resource is spent. Up to about three dozen are those that can be capable and used for blows in Ukraine," Kovalenko said. He also noted that it was only possible to assume, which specifically hit the airfields. These may be small "air objects", similar to those that attacked the refinery in Russia.
Kovalenko said that Tu-95MC for Russia is not just a very expensive and unique weapon. "It is not that the weight of gold, but in general, is invaluable as for the Russians. Because it is impossible to restore or compensate it," he said. We will remind, earlier Focus wrote about what is known about the blows of the airfields of the Russian Federation on April 5.
