Germany criticized and praised the Russian bombers Tu-22M3.

Military specialists of the German edition of "Stern" subjected to serious criticism of the Russian long-range strategic bomber Tu-22M3, calling it "rarity" and "ancient dinosaur." According to Germany, Russia is simply not able to create a new aircraft and enjoys Soviet development, which, however, is a serious opponent and at the moment.

“The Kremlin does not have enough money to" create "completely new bombers, so the old ones are being modernized. These include the Tu-22M supersonic bomber, the first models of which were designed in 1972. However, this "dinosaur" is intended to begin the fight against the powerful US Air Force ", - emphasizes the publication "Stern".

Nevertheless, analysts say that despite its 45-year-old age, the Tu-22M3 bomber is still the most formidable opponent of the American fleet.

"After modernization, a cruise missile will appear on board bombers, which, rising to an altitude of 40 km, is unattainable for US air defense missiles, and when launching, it develops hypersonic speed - at this stage it is currently also can not be knocked down ", - the expert emphasized, telling about the arming of bombers with the "Dagger" complexes.

By the way, it should be noted that the Russian long-range strategic bomber Tu-22M3 has always been considered the main enemy of the US Navy, which is due to the possibility of attacking carrier-based groups without approaching them.
