Russian Tu-160 left American F-35 at supersonic speed

The crew of the Russian Tu-160 rushed at supersonic speed past the American F-35.

Another attempt by the U.S. Air Force to approach Tu-160 ended in a serious problem for the U.S. - it was not possible to intercept the Russian strategic bomber, since the bomber’s crew, when approaching American fighters, accelerated the aircraft to supersonic speed, leaving the latter out of work.

“The Tu-160 of the Russian Air Force was subjected to a routine training flight in the international airspace of the Sea of ​​Japan, where it was observed by two American F-35A fighters. Unexpected things happened when two F-35A fighters tried to approach the Tu-160 bomber on the left and right - the Tu-160 bomber suddenly began to accelerate and switched to supersonic speed. Two F-35A fighters accompanying the plane were struck, and therefore did not have time to react. The 110-ton strategic bomber easily bypassed the 13-ton fighter in an instant, and this one is no joke. ", - the publication "Sina" informs.

So far, no official comments have been made by representatives of the Russian Defense Ministry on this subject.
