Strategic Long Range Bombers : Mission Accomplished

BY: NJS security Editorial Panel For Security Magazine

The Long range aerospace power of today's air force is a potent force deterrence of both conventional and nuclear conflict, long range bombers platforms are able to Conventionally destroy multiple target per sortie. Creating desired effects at the strategic operational and tactical levels simultaneously .

If we compare major super power's in world like US and Russia has major role in it, for ex ., B-52 , B-1 and B-2 is considered to be backbone of US air force for Longer range strategic Operations , on other hand Russia the former Soviet union has large arsenal of long Range strategic bombers like Tu-95 bear , Tu-22 M3 Backfire ,Tu-160 Blackjack for its Nuclear and conventional role. The Tu-160 is also significantly larger and faster than the B-1B and has a greater combat range with 7,300 km along with service ceiling 49,200 ft and maximum speed of Mach 2.05 .

As per report Twenty B-2s are operated by the USAF . which is "low observable" stealth technology designed to penetrate dense anti-aircraft defenses , B-2s were first used in combat to drop bombs on Serbia during the Kosovo War and US also continued in Iraq and Afghanistan wars .

As per India which has many powerful neighbors on boarder side ,which need decent volume of longer range bombers , but has only 4 nos Tu-22 M3 backfire for Land attack purpose , which has been rented from Russia in year 2004 from its instant stockpile . These bombers are totally different from normal fighter jets could be used for more longer range with better payload for guided /unguided weapons to strike deep inside enemy territory . Some official news also confirms

china is already manufacturing massive nos of Tu 22 m3 backfire version for its airforce / Naval purpose with 100 % Transfer of Technology from Russia .

India already ordered 8 nos of P8I Poseidon long range ship / Submarine attack Naval based Aircraft from Boeing to replace its old Russian Naval bombers , As for Airforce we Still Need more Land attack bombers like Tu-160 Blackjack which is considered to be superior to other Strategic Bombers . India should

Realize the need of Strategic bombers incase of war (period) against Red Giant .

Strategic Long Range Bombers : Mission Accomplished .
As far as i know the deal to lease 4 TU-22M3 bombers never materialized. so this piece of information is wrong. India does not have these bombers or am i wrong??
