In response to the Ukrainian attack that destroyed dozens of Russian bombers in early June, the Russian Aerospace Forces launched a strategic flight with Tu-22M3 bombers over the Baltic Sea.
The operation marks the first use of this type of aircraft since the Ukrainian strikes on airbases in Siberia and northern Russia.
According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the Tu-22M3 bombers conducted a planned flight through international airspace over the Baltic Sea, lasting more than four hours.
In certain segments of the route, the Tu-22M3s were accompanied by fighter jets from other countries — reportedly from NATO nations.
