Russian President Vladimir Putin has suffered another shock. Russia’s dangerous supersonic bomber jet used to attack Ukraine became a fireplace in the dark of the night. The tragedy is not only questioning Russian military strength, but Putin’s strategic planning has also been hit hard.
The Tuplave TU-22M3 bomber jet crashed in the Irkutsk sector, priced at around Rs 253 crore. The aircraft was part of Putin’s Nuclear Strike Force, which was deployed on cities in Ukraine. The video of the tragedy is going viral on the Russian Telegram channels, which can be seen how the plane fell on the ground with a huge explosion in the night sky.
A pilot died, three survived

However, one of these pilots was killed, while the other three survived. Video available at the scene has been seen from the accident site of fire and smoke.

The role of TU-22M3 in the Ukraine war
The TU-22M3 bomber jet was first deployed in a carpet bombing in the city of Maruopol during the Ukraine war by Russia. The aircraft can fly up to a distance of about 7,000 kilometers and is capable of carrying deadly weapons such as nuclear missiles KH-15, KH-22. It can fly more than two mak (2300 km per hour).
One of the same aircraft has fallen before this
This is not the first time Russia crashed TU-22M3. Earlier, Ukraine claimed to have demolished the plane. The bomber was once bombed on Ukraine by an S-200 anti-aircraft missile in the Stavropol area of ​​South Russia. These incidents are raising serious questions on Russia’s military capacity and security system.
Attempts for peace, but Putin is firm
In the meantime America is trying to end the war between Russia and Ukraine. Donald Trump hoped that Putin wanted to end the war, but Kremlin is firm on his terms. A few days ago, the 30 -day ceasefire plan was consented, which Putin immediately rejected. There has been an agreement to prevent attacks on temporary ceasefire and energy infrastructure in the Black Sea area, but the two countries are accused of violating each other.
