Tupolev Tu-22M vs US aircraft carrier [ Famous Movie Clip ]
http://www.youtube.com/PowerRussia Tupolev Tu-22M Backfire is a supersonic, swing-wing, long-range strategic and maritime strike bomber in service with the Russian Air Force. An aircraft carrier is a warship designed with a primary mission of deploying and recovering aircraft, acting as a seagoing airbase. Aircraft carriers thus allow a naval force to project air power great distances without having to depend on local bases for staging aircraft operations. They have evolved from wooden vessels used to deploy a balloon into nuclear powered warships that carry dozens of fixed and rotary wing aircraft.
