Published 2024-01-30

It is important to keep in mind that there are two primary categories of bombers: strategic and tactical. Heavy bombers that are primarily built for long-range bombing operations against key targets are used to carry out strategic bombing. The goal of strategic bombing is to reduce the enemy's ability to conduct war by limiting access to resources by destroying infrastructure or diminishing industrial output. The purpose of tactical bombing is to counteract the military action of the enemy and to provide assistance for offensive operations. This type of bombing is often assigned to smaller aircraft that operate at shorter ranges, typically in close proximity to the troops on the ground or while attacking enemy vessels.

TU-22M is not a "modification for TU-22", thats a whole new plane. TU-22M is not a "bomber" - this was a "supersonic strategic nuclear missle launch platform", but it was nerfed to "front bomber/aircraft carrier killer" due to SALT pact.

А разве B-21 Spirit - реально существующий самолет? Пока это лишь "перспективная разработка", которую если и сравнивать с чем-то, то с "Посланником", архивными "Соткой" и "Валькирией"

Tell me please! If B2 and B21 are the best bombers of 2024, then why is B2 discontinued and machines of this series are slowly being scrapped, and B21 is generally still being developed and has not yet reached state tests, how can these machines be called the best?

The best aircraft in 2024 is one that is scheduled to be active in 2030? This channel was better before its main source of funding became the pentagon.

Whoever decided the sequence is out of their mind. So, Soviet aviation went BACKWARD from the '50s era Bisons, badgers and bears, to the '70s (for the M3) era Backfire? If they'd had any idea of what makes a bomber effective, they would have rated it #5 on their scale.

Tu22M3 2,05Mach and Tu22M3M with 2 new engines from Tu-160 reach Mach 2,2 You have total wrong informations!😉

How does the H-6K is better than the Tu-22M if it has better range, speed and payload??

Для радаров метрового диапазона стелс-технология бесполезна. Для истребителя стелс может помочь мешая ракетам захватывать его как цель. Но для бомбардировщика это мало полезно, так как бомбардировщик не может убежать от истребителя и вести маневренный бой. При этом Ту-160 может не только пускать ракеты на расстоянии более 5000 километров от цели (за пределами зоны действия любых истребителей противника) но и уйти от любого истребителя четвертого поколения за счет скорости (способности идти на сверхзвуковой скорости более 40 минут против 15 минут сверхзвука у какого нибудь Рафаля). Так что не смотря на модные технологии стелс-бомбардировщиков я бы поставил все таки на Ту-160М2.

The 7th place hk6 can do most of the stuff the 8th place tu22m can do, but shieter in almost all aspects if this list and reasoning is correct, does something else effect that like cost?

The Backfire still looks menacing after all these years.

ТУ-160 Лучший. А вам уважаемый автор не помешало бы сравнить характеристики обоих самолетов. Самолеты неведимки были хороши только против старых радаров. Современные радары их видят. Доказательство!!? Вспомните Сербию. У Ту-160 большая дальность 12300 против 11 105 боевая нагрузка макс 45 обычная 22 тон против 18 , скорость больше 2 раза 2200 против 1010. Ваш b-2 даже не сверх звуковой а Ту-160 сделал на скорости два ваших супер современых истребителяи 5-го покаления F-35. Кроме того в настоящее время Бомбардировщики это легкая цель для ПВО именно поэтому их эффективно применять до зоны вхождения ПВО. И здесь большу роль играет именно скорость так как она придает большую энергию сбрасываемым боеприпасам соответственно увеличивается дальносьть сброса или пуска.

The B-2 Spirit is simply beautiful.

This list could be also called "the 8 worst heavy bomber aircrafts in 2024"! I think it lists all heavy bombers currently in service or soon in service (B-21).
