The Russian Aerospace Forces are preparing to adopt a new strategic bomber.

In Russia, flight tests of the newest Russian strategic bomber Tu-95MSM begin, which is a deeply modernized version of the Russian aircraft, well known to NATO and the United States for its unexpected appearances, despite the fact that the bomber was developed during the prosperity of the Soviet Union. By the end of the year, this aircraft can already enter service with the Russian Aerospace Forces, and in comparison with previous versions, this combat vehicle has a huge advantage.

“The deeply modernized strategic missile carrier Tu-95MSM will make its first test flight by the end of August this year. The head of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC), Yuri Slyusar, reported this on Monday to Russian President Vladimir Putin. “I hope that the long-awaited deeply modernized Tu-95 will take off in Taganrog by the end of August. We have strengthened the wing, changed individual airframe units. A vehicle with a new armament complex, with a new on-board complex of electronic equipment, with new modified engines, new propellers, and, in fact, the combat capabilities of the vehicle have doubled after this modernization, "said Slyusar", - about it сообщает publication "TASS".

In fact, this means that the deeply modernized Tu-95MSM bomber will be better adapted for the performance of combat missions, however, experts believe that the new aircraft was not without secrets.

"It is possible that the modernized Tu-95MSM became less noticeable for radar equipment, and its ammunition load could be supplemented with new types of ammunition, especially taking into account the development of hypersonic technologies.", - the expert marks.
