Long-Range Aviation (Russia)

Long-Range Aviation (Russia) refers to a branch of the Russian Air Force specializing in strategic, nuclear, and conventional bombers capable of flying vast distances without refueling. These aircraft can strike distant targets across the globe, serving as a key component of Russia’s nuclear deterrent and strategic defense. The fleet includes specialized long-range bombers, such as the Tu-95 and Tu-160, designed for high-speed, high-altitude missions, often operating from secure, remote bases. This capability enhances Russia’s ability to project power globally and maintain strategic stability through its deterrent force.
