Moscow, August 11. The Russian Tu-22M3M bomber will present big problems to the US Navy ships in the event of a conflict in the Black Sea. The Chinese edition of Sohu writes about this.

For a long time, the American navy and naval aviation was considered the best in the world. After World War II, the United States lured away many German engineers, and as a result, the F-22 and F-35 fighters were born, Newinform reports .

As a response, the USSR in 1972 released the Tu-22M bomber, in total about 500 aircraft entered the army. The machine has two NK-25 turbofan engines, giving supersonic flight capability. In recent times, the aircraft has been modernized, now it can carry hypersonic missiles.

According to Chinese journalists, Russia's four Tu-22M3Ms will become an insurmountable obstacle for the US Navy in the Black Sea, even though the Americans have the world's largest aircraft carriers. The newest Russian bomber is traveling at supersonic speed, and hypersonic missiles will be out of reach of American air defense systems.

Earlier Leonkov commented on the statement about the possibility of the United States to strike at Russia. In his opinion, the Russian military simply will not allow this, "Tsargrad" reports .
