The rocket exploded side by side: why the TU-22M3 aircraft fell and what it is important to the Russians-the pilot

The former Tu-22m3 pilot of the dericals suggested that the pilots did not even try to extinguish the fire. He called the catapulting system from the aircraft unreliable, because it can break the spine. The unambiguous answer was why the Russian TU-22M3 bomber fell is not yet. For the Russian Federation, the aircraft is important in that it can be launched by hundreds of kilometers.

A researcher of the Poltava Museum of Heavy Bombard Aviation, an ex-fastest in the world in the world, Gennady Derikaptan, told this in a comment to Glavkom. According to him, one of the reasons for the fall of the TU-22M3, which is the fastest heavy bomber, may be that in Ukraine there are missiles capable of knocking it down. When asked by journalists about the uniqueness of the TU-22M3, the Dericaptan replied: "No. He noted that there were no other aircraft that could perform similar tasks.

Derikaptan said that before the full-scale war on TU-22M3 aircraft and upgraded copies was a French avionic. But now it is unknown whether Russians can buy it. "Now they are putting Chinese, maybe Iranian Avionic, I do not know," the expert said. According to Daricaptan, the reason for the fall of the aircraft is "unknown". The Russians say the aircraft fell due to technical malfunctions.

However, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine stated that the TU-22M3 was shot down by the Ukrainian missile of the C-200. In this case, the dericalptan believes that it is difficult to determine the cause of the fall. He pointed out that one or two aircraft engines were working. "On one of the published videos, the sound of one or two engines can be heard. The sound occurs, it disappears. This means that the pilots have not been disconnected.

Apparently, they did not try to extinguish the fire," Daricaptan said. The expert is convinced that if the aircraft was really knocked down, it had to explode near it. Yes, the bomber himself did not fall apart during the fall. According to him, even if such a plane as TU-22M3 will notice that it works on the enemy's aircraft, he will not be able to maneuver. He has the ability to only use heat traps.

According to the official version, three of the four crew members were able to catapult and thus survive. In this case, one of them is still looking. Another fourth crew member, allegedly a commander, was killed. According to Daricaptan, a catapult chair KT-1M stands on the plane. It is developed by the Bureau of Tupolev Design Bureau and is considered not very reliable. "When catapulting, a compression fracture of the spine may occur when struck.

There is a complex system, many exhaust parachutes, stabilizing . . . ", - the expert said. The dericalptan said that even if the pilots, which catapult, survived, not the fact that they can fly again. We will remind, the head of GUR MO Kirill Budanov told how Ukraine destroyed TU-22M3. According to the chief of military intelligence, Ukrainians use, including systems made of old components, to eliminate enemy aircraft.
