The Russians flew their outdated TU-95 bomber still carrying the manned tail gunner firing the 23-mm rear gun to protect against “Cold War” era fighter jets. The Chinese used their H6 long-range bomber; at least the Chinese got rid of the “Cold War” era tail gunner in their bombers. The Russian and Chinese long-range bomber were intercepted by US F-22 and F-35 and Canadian F/A-18. The F-22 Raptor fifth generation fighters were flown by the Alaskan Air Nation Guard against the outdated bombers.

@havanasyndrome3024 No country have ever tried to go against it. It flew combat missions in Syria as a fighter bomber.

@AndrewRus876 In a real war as soon as the Russians launch a nuclear cruise missile it will be detected and NATO would retaliate instantly, unlike Russia who can't protect themselves against drones.

@eat_ze_bugs The Russians deployed their Su-57s to protect a Syrian command and control center. The F-22 was sent in to destroy it before the allied strike force retaliated against a previous Syrian attack.

@eat_ze_bugs The F-22s went against the Russian Su-57s in Syria protecting a site. The F-22s destroyed the site with the Su-57s never having seen them!

@eat_ze_bugs “Russia’s most advanced fighter arrives in Syria…The deployment comes on the heels of the United States employing its most advanced fighter jet, the F-22 stealth fighter, in strikes against targets in Syria after a February 7 attack against US-backed forces by pro-Syrian government troops that also included Russian mercenaries…” 23 Feb 2018 CNN. The Russians were flying the Su-57s.

@eat_ze_bugs A stealth fighter isn’t used for reconnaissance, an intelligence aircraft is used. The Su-57 stealth fighter isn’t even used for reconnaissance flying over Russian airspace in the Ukrainian war!
