The following video shows some of the most lethal planes of the “Resurgent” Russian Air Force at work.
The footage, most probably aired by a Russian TV, was filmed at the strategic airbase of Engels, in the Volga Ural Military District, home of a huge Moscow’s strategic bomber force, including Tu-160, Tu-95 and Tu-22 aircraft.
More than 40 bombers are believed to be based there.

Air-to-air footage of these “exotic” bombers makes the video worth a look.
