Exactly. 22 missiles aimed at underground facilities that still did enough surface damage to blot out 200m of land. How many holes are there?

Take a closer look at your pictures, in a better definition…no “deep holes to destroy underground facilities”, only surface damages that evidently blow up storage hangars (or “bunkers” if you prefer). Many missiles for sure, …but not 22 impacts, sorry.

Why not?

There is no worse blind than the one who doesn’t want to see…

PS : Last comment from myself on cruise missiles attack, please can we go back to RuAF thread ?

Did you not watch your own video? The ‘building’ is obviously a dummy target made from wood/plywood or whatever located on a bombing range. Did you not see the panels flying into the air – obviously not a reinforced concrete building.

See à 0:12 and 0:50 to see the effect of same kind of warhead (here a Kalibr missile) on reinforced concrete : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LHI6sRJHOM

PS : I only give my opinion and don’t want to convince anyone. Everyone will have his degree of blindness …but let’s get back to this thread subject : RuAF News and development…:)

Look at the F-22 strike, if I were to say that building was hit by 4 bombs, people would probably deny it without the video.

Now imagine 76 missiles impact on the very same target…

YA-9 entered and lost the competition to the A-10 years before the T-8 prototype took its first flight. As with many other military projects in the West, the Soviets had advanced knowledge gained through espionage or some other means. If the Soviets ever mastered anything, it was spying. The coincidental resemblance is too great in this case. Related…

The original image (on RussianPlanes.net) says Mi-8AMTSh / Mi-17Sh – which is an attack (Shturmovik) designation.

Be interesting to see what its true designation is????

Fascinating to see all those lumps and bumps of the EW gear – must do wonders for the drag.

BTW M-17 is the export designation of the Mi-8MT series – so in Russian service its a Mi-8etc etc.

Ken

Probably a Mi-8AMTSh (as labelled near te cockpit door) modified for EW.

PS : Somebody knows the electronic package found on this version ?

Libya’s sole operational Tu-22.

This one may be Photoshopped. See original image.

I really doubt that there are still operational Libyan Tu-22. They were in derelict conditions since mid-1990.

Is this Libyan roundel still used ? :
