Russian Strategic Bombing isn't looking to good.

https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/russias-secretive-long-range-bomber-operations-against-ukraine

>On March 26, Russian strategic bombers launched cruise missiles against a military training ground in Yavoriv in western Ukraine, just 10 miles from the Polish border.
>The same base had already been struck by Russian air-launched cruise missiles two weeks earlier, on March 13, when Russian strategic bombers launched around 30 cruise missiles against it, most of which reportedly failed to reach their target.

>Aside from a few Kh-59 missile attacks by Su-34 Fullback strike aircraft or Su-35S Flanker fighters, air-launched strikes against targets deep in Ukraine are performed only by Russian long-range bomber aircraft.
>They use cruise missiles launched from over the territory of Russia or Belarus, or from over the Caspian Sea or the Sea of Azov.

>The only conventional armament now available to these bombers is the Kh-101 (known to NATO as the AS-23A Kodiak) cruise missile.
>Recently, the use of Kh-101 missiles in Ukraine has also become rarer, which may mean that their stocks are close to exhaustion and the Russians are saving these missiles for particularly important targets.
>According to the author’s calculations, there are fewer than 100 of the Kh-101 missiles left in stock, and their production rate does not exceed three to four per month.

>For targets deep inside Ukraine, the Tu-22M3s attack using heavy Kh-22M, Kh-22N, or the newer Kh-32 supersonic anti-ship missiles.

>Russian military aviation activities during Ukrainian Independence Day on August 24 were significant. According to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, the Russian Aerospace Forces conducted 200 missions that day.
> Two hundred daily missions were typical for Russian military aviation at the beginning of this war, but now the average is 60-70.

            It isn't coincidence. It is fairly small aircraft made mostly from composites with pusher propeller. Twin tail boom as bonus partially covers that tiny propeller.
            >All the RAM in the world won't make a frickhuge propeller powered by a 2000hp V12 stealthy
            I don't think there are that many around 2000hp Spitfires around. Merlin powered versions were always considered more iconic. So most of the surviving airworthy Griffon powered variants have been converted to Merlin, with way less power. Ironically probably most common airworthy Spitfire is a late Griffon powered model that has been converted into fake Merlin powered version. Genuine Merlin powered models still around are likely less common than conversions from Griffon models. Relatively few of airworthy late Griffon powered models surviving are in their original configuration with original engines and five bladed propellers.

    >Airstrikes using Kh-22/Kh-32 missiles were fairly common in the second half of June, when, according to Ukrainian sources, Ukraine was hit by 200 such missiles (before that, since April, the Russians had fired several dozen of them).

    >The problem with the Kh-22 and, to a lesser extent, the Kh-32 missiles, is their low accuracy. These are anti-ship missiles and have active radar seekers designed to home in on an objective with a big radar signature.

    >When firing such a missile over land, it is impossible to know whether it will hit the roof of an industrial plant or the roof of a shopping center, which happened on June 27 in Kremenchuk.

    >The stocks of Kh-22 missiles remaining from the Soviet era are large, and the shelf life of these weapons is coming to an end. Cynically speaking, it is cheaper to fire them into Ukraine than to dispose of them.

    >On August 21, Russian Minister of Defense Sergei Shoygu said that Kinzhal was used three times in Ukraine and that “three times showed its brilliant characteristics, which no other similar missile in the world has”.

            Americans can simply use Phalanx C-RAM. Russians counter by relying on having more, larger artillery already in range. Excalibur rounds are too accurate at range for Russians to consistently hit back.

            Zoopark-1 or Aistyonok counter battery radars detect incoming ballistic fire. From there the Russian must:
            A) shoot down the incoming rounds/rockets while in the air
            >Pantsir, tunguskas, sosnas are all missile-based anti-air/ballistic/drone systems, C-RAM "area" bullet spam is best suited for artillery, but Russian variants are either woefully underdeveloped or oversized and reserved for Russian ships. gps guided arty shells are too small to consistently defend
            B) shell the position where the rounds came from
            >But current Russian countermeasures (guided missiles, unguided artillery) are unable to respond quick enough, or return fire accurately at the required range.
            C) move/rely on inaccurate mortar/artillery fire at extreme ranges.
            >Because Excalibur is so accurate, every single round must be defended against. If the shots are staggered parabolically, and arriving at the same time, there is no chance Russia can even spam enough missiles to stop every round.

                C-RAM minimizes damage, but can't handle large-scale attacks. Counter-battery, or preemptive, strikes are the only real effective method for dealing with artillery. The US simply has massive advantages in that area.

      Jesus Christ, do they make these things by hand? Where's the industrial might of the Soviet Union?

      Cruise missiles are expensive. The US makes something like 1,000 cruise missiles a year. They have a budget 10-20 times anyone else's (except perhaps China). That means everyone else can only afford 50-100 cruise missiles each, per year, spread across all models. This includes Russia.

      Three or four a month isn't bad actually.

                On 9 March 2022, the Russian Air Force bombed Maternity Hospital No 3, a hospital complex functioning both as a children's hospital and maternity ward in Mariupol, Ukraine, during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, killing at least four people and injuring at least sixteen, and leading to at least one stillbirth. On 10 March, the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defence claimed that bombing of the hospital was justified by the supposed presence of Ukrainian armed forces at Mariupol Maternity Hospital No 1, as stated by Russian UN representative Vasily Nebenzya earlier, on 7 March. Several media organizations dismissed the Russian claims as false.

              I've literally been searching for reports of Russian strikes on Ukrainian air fields. No report anywhere that's been confirmed by anything or anyone (Kremlin State TV doesn't count, unless backed up by credible reports). No Ukrainian planes wrecked on the ground anywhere. From near the very beginning of the war, there was one airfield that took fire, and something like two Russian missiles hit part of a runway while ~30 (or 50?) more missed anything at all and made holes in empty fields.

I agree with what you're saying, but if Russians were hitting Ukrainian airfields (plural) and they were doing it even half as often as they claim, there would be something giving at least some of it away. "Most" of it *could* be suppressed (with enough effort), but not 100%. Even Russia has zero evidence of anything, just random lies typed into the Internet.

        And they SHOULD be achieving 1000-1200 daily sorties with the number of aircraft they have dedicated to this farce

    Every single Z wearing Russian deserves to have at least one of their family die, a loved one, a child, wife, husband, someone close. Then you can let them go through the hell of bereavement for a year before they are liquidated. Then a year later both graves can be vandalised. I am a moderate.

      barely better than a fricking fifth columnist. I want every single Male russian dead, and every single male offspring from russian females aborted for the next 200 years. Perhaps that will be enough to eradicate that whole race

        That's a huge fricking waste of their full potential.

        We should turn vatniks into biofuel.

    >production rate does not exceed three to four per month.
    Jesus Christ, do they make these things by hand? Where's the industrial might of the Soviet Union?

      Long dead. Communism fueled all of the USSR's economic output, and by that I mean the production quotas. Everyone was paid the same, but everyone was also pressured to outdo their previous production output for various rewards. The end result was that so much coal was produced that the power plants could not use it all, and the trains had to be sent back to the mines half-full. Very productive, but very stupid.

      Now that's all gone. Nobody cares about overworking themselves for the state anymore.

        That's the result of their whole "planned economy" thing not working as well as expected. It really wasn't about anyone overworking themselves. Turns out manually microing all production instead of letting supply and demand adjust it automatically just isn't feasible.

          Maybe it is possible but we can conclude that certainly 20th century Russians couldn’t manage it.

          this is definitely not the case anymore with 21st century software, central planning is fully feasible just against vested interests. what we have now is a very slow incremental transition to central planning

            Yeah no.
            In the 21st century you can see bug firms lose competition against small all the time. While in theoretical land of perfected micromanagement they should win every time. Read about X Inefficiency

    I hate Z wearing Russians more than Russian soldiers. I would never give a Z wearing Russian a clean death.

    The bears launch their missiles far away from Ukraine, over the Black sea or way back inland. Too far away to get BUK broken. One can only dream.
