The Russian Defense Ministry showed footage of the Su-34 aircraft and the Kh-29 missile mounted on it. The Kh-29 high-precision air-to-surface missile was put into service in 1980, despite its age, foreign military experts consider it one of the "most successful Russian missiles." The Kh-29 missile is designed to destroy fortified targets and is capable of penetrating about 1 meter of concrete covered with 3 meters of soil. When hitting the runway of the airfield, the rocket leaves a funnel with a diameter of 15 meters and a depth of about 6 meters. The probable deviation of the missile from the target is two meters, which allows it to be aimed even at windows. The estimated price of the X-29 missile is about 300 thousand dollars, the data is based on a lawsuit filed by the Russian Ministry of Defense against several servicemen in case of accidental damage to missiles. The missile is produced with a laser and television homing head, the video shows the Kh-29T missile. The maximum missile launch range is from 8 to 30 kilometers, the altitude of use is from 200 meters to 5 kilometers, depending on the modification. The mass of the warhead is 317 kilograms.
The Russian Tu-95MS performed planned flights and worked out the elements of piloting techniques during refueling Tu-95MS in the air, including in adverse weather conditions. Serial production of Tu-95MS strategic bombers continued until the beginning of 1992. They still remain in service as carriers of cruise missiles, including such as the Kh-101. Thanks to lower fuel consumption than jet aircraft, and most importantly, greater stealth from SBIRS satellites, which are able to observe large jet-powered strategic bombers by their exhausts.
