In the US, said that Russia promised to remove the Tu-160 from Venezuela

Russian Tu-160 bombers will leave Venezuela this coming Friday.

White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders made a statement in which she stressed that Russian strategic Tu-160 bombers would stay in neighboring Venezuela only until tomorrow, as she was informed by representatives of the Russian side.

“Their [Russian] military aircraft that landed in Venezuela will leave the country on Friday and return to Russia”- said Sanders.

Experts believe that the appearance of the Russian strategic supersonic Tu-160 missile-carrier bombers in Venezuela created a lot of trouble for Washington, although the planes were located at a relatively large distance from the US borders (about 2 thousand kilometers). At the same time, it should be clarified that the main purpose of the arrival of Tu-160 bombers in Venezuela is to conduct military exercises - the prolonged presence of these strategic aircraft in Venezuela was not intended.

Nonetheless, there is an assumption that if Washington decides to withdraw from the INFMT, the Russian strategic aviation will conduct more exercises near the US borders.
