A few hours ago it became known that the Russian long-range Tu-22M3 bomber worked out a strike on NATO ships in the Mediterranean with the Kh-22 anti-ship cruise missile, which is capable of carrying a thermonuclear charge with a capacity of up to 1 Mt. By the way, this ammunition is more powerful than the nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima. One such missile is enough to destroy any naval formation and "expand" the Strait of Gibraltar.
Video footage of the preparation of the Russian Tu-22M3 for flight has appeared on the network. Experts note that by practicing the strike, Russia is sending an unambiguous signal to NATO.
It is noteworthy that a few years ago the forces of the Alliance felt quite confident in this region. According to experts, three such bombers can raze half of southern Europe to the ground, avia.pro writes .
Experts note that the range of the Kh-22 missile reaches 600 kilometers, which makes it possible to destroy the intended target without entering the enemy's air defense zone.
