Looked like:

SU-25 (ground attack, analogous to the A-10)
SU-27 or -30 (air superiority)
MIG-31 (interceptor)
TU-26C Backfire-C (ramp inlets on the engine intakes--a medium strategic bomber)
TU-160 Blackjack. (heavy strategic bomber akin to B-1--based on it, but with 2/3 the payload capacity and capable of mach 2+ dash speeds).
TU-95 Bear (counter-rotating turbofan, heavy strategic bomber. Unique propeller design gives it speed like the B-52 stratofortress, and it's about as iconic).

This is a very impressive example of tactical and strategic Russian combat aviation. One does not see this concentration of airpower unless there is a real deployment coming.

My observation is that the Russian threshold for war is about as high as the French threshold, because Russia has similar or greater war deaths. If they're assembling this, my assessment is it is go-time.

I was unable to identify the refueling aircraft. Will have to research that. But they look like the basic airframe used for the Ilyushin Mainstays AWACS--purposed differently of course.

Anyone who knows their military will see this video and know what is happening. These are not flying in "show" formation.

They are transporting for active duty or currently active.



it will be the ugliest, most nastiest thing we will ever see. Horrors beyond our comprehension.

We do not want war, no matter how tantalizing doom is, this is not something we want.

The USAF has a drone version of the F4 Phantom, a plane that could fly straight up, in the 1960s. Fuckin awsome even our old planes are awesome, Russias got some good birds too, let's keep them in the air, and intact, not have war that destroys all the great old items.

PLEASE...take a look at where these war birds are flying into...

Here is the sad truth: Planes can be flown, but missiles are full-commit weapon.

So, one parades their "missiles" but until used, no one knows. THAT IS SAD mathematics, from the math knowers of Earth. Math can build rocketry yes but can math save this world? Only if you do the true math of how short reaction times you are giving each other on this world.

Missile war is not fun, it's like throwing bags of shit at others and saying, "Who can smell good after?"

But planes are way way cooler than missiles, every child knows that.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 49509890


He is most likely right...

Especially the formation in which they flew didn't make sense.

It's NOT a warlike formation, especially NOT with frogfoots in front (Close up anti ground fighters, not LONG RANGE ANTI SAM).

Also, one of the big planes flew infront of the other with a fuel line down? YOU DO NOT REFUEL AT SUCH A LOW ALTITUDE UNLESS YOU WANT TO DIE.

And no, not even Russians are that crazy.
