Americans imitate a nuclear strike on Crimea
The US Air Force B-52H Stratofortress strategic bomber entered the airspace over the Black Sea and simulated a nuclear strike on Crimea.
This was reported by the service for tracking aviation activity PlaneRadar, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to the service, two more RC-135W Rivet Joint reconnaissance aircraft of the US Air Force are also circling along the Russian coast. It is also reported that American aircraft will be refueled in the sky by Turkish KC-135s, which are circling over their territory.
According to the editor-in-chief of the National Defense magazine, military expert Igor Korotchenko, Russia has nothing to fear from American aircraft. In the current conditions, the military in Crimea have developed a system for identifying and countering the US Army, and if there was a threat of hostilities, the American bomber would have been shot down several hundred kilometers from the peninsula.
“Objects of critical importance on the territory of Crimea are covered by Tor-M2 missile systems. These are the last line of air defense systems that have been tested in real combat conditions in Syria. It was the Tor-M2 complexes that repelled 90% of all terrorist drone attacks on the Khmeimim airbase. That is, 90% is the work of Tor-M2, and 10% is the work of other air defense systems and complexes.
Therefore, from the point of view of its effectiveness, such objects as the Crimean Bridge, fleet bases in Sevastopol, they are covered by these complexes. Today it is impossible for any air target to break through their defenses. It is clear how the Americans will attack Crimea if they are working out scenarios, but if there was a real military scenario, the B-52 would be shot down several hundred kilometers before approaching Russian airspace.
Well, if cruise missiles with nuclear warheads are used, then both the S-400 and Tor-M2 complexes, which already directly cover defense targets, will work on them. We are improving our aerospace defense system. On the one hand, the Americans train, on the other, we train like the Americans. In this case, this target was classified as hostile; accordingly, air defense and radar crews worked out this scenario, training on a real air target of a potential enemy,” Korotchenko said.
