Is Russia’s Tu-22M3 Becoming Obsolete Over Ukraine?

Описание: Russia’s Tu-22M3 “Backfire” bomber was once designed as a Cold War supersonic penetrator. But over Ukraine, its role is rapidly evolving into a long-range standoff missile platform.
In this video, we examine why modern air defenses are forcing tactical changes, how the Kh-22 and Kh-32 missiles are being used, and whether the M3M modernization can keep the Backfire relevant.
With aging airframes, limited network-centric upgrades, and increasing battlefield risks, the Tu-22M3 faces a critical test of survivability in modern warfare.
