Russian front-line bomber demoralized the crew of an American aircraft carrier.

The Russian Su-24 front-line bomber is still one of the most effective means of combat aircraft that have been in the arsenal of Russia for more than a dozen years. Nevertheless, despite its age, this aircraft was able to put to shame the entire American fleet by staging a real show a few hundred meters above the deck of an American aircraft carrier.

According to the newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta, two Russian frontline bombers shamed the US Navy, which today is considered the strongest on the planet, not only demoralizing a crew of more than 5500 people, but also conditionally destroying it.

“Europe was worried, but really afraid of the US Navy's Su-24. More precisely, the Su-24MR scarecrowers - a naval reconnaissance aircraft based on a bomber. The high point of this aircraft fell on the morning of October 17, 2000, when a pair of "emirs", accompanied by fighters, conditionally destroyed the aircraft carrier "Kitty Hawk". The latter followed in slow motion from Japan to Korea, at the same time refueling from a tanker nearing when Russian planes roared right above the flight deck. In a combat situation, this means the death of a ship. ”, - the Russian information publication reports.

It should be clarified that only a few months ago, a Russian front-line bomber, according to representatives of the Ukrainian defense ministry, carried out a daring attack on an American ship that was on its way to Odessa, which indicates that this aircraft is still an effective means of opposing the enemy fleet.
