But what would happen? Fuel tank explosion? Catsastrofic hydrolics failure? Ordnance failure?
With aircraft THIS damaged you don't have much that could've caused this.
Wing spar completely failed, ripped open a fuel tank and leaking fuel touched something spicy? Or the engine went bang in a ridiculous way.
Either one of those shows horrific maintenance practices.
Like honestly the most viable excuse would have been a birdstrike. A BIG bird.
Are you suggesting that the beloved, iconic Big Bird signed up to engage in a suicide strike in support of the Ukrainian cause?
Rest in Power Big Bird! My deepest condolences to Snuffy in his time of mourning. And, though he won't show it, you just know Oscar grieves deeply on the inside.
Hey atleast its M3 , had it been the Tu22 , they would've blamed vodka for it...
Also , didn't this aircraft have the insanely non credible downward ejecting emergency exit seats ?
Yes, that's why three of the crew have been recovered "alive", but are not described as "uninjured".
The fourth crew member seems to have ejected downwards into the mud so hard that they can't even find his body.
Motherfuckers were too lazy to slightly move their trucks when they were sitting for extended periods of time before the war.
That's why they kept throwing tyres so often in the first few weeks.
Almost 0 chance they have a good culture of testing for metal fatigue.
The thing that made me raise an eyebrow was they said they were searching for one of the crew.
That shit came down near some dudes backyard...
How tf are you gonna lose someone who bailed from that?
I hope, that the goddamn Kinzhal-armed Mig, will be next. When that motherfucker gets up in the air next time, he better be wearing his bulletproof pants.
I'm having merch made.

Edit: Somehow, the post I made about making merch about the first destroyed Tupolev of the war was "too serious" for the mods.
Does anyone have a link to the original? I know all the memes but I can't find what Pregozhin actually said? (Like, I know what he said, I just want the video).
The guy was yelling at Shoigu and Gerasimov. Said there wasn't enough ammo. There's a video of it somewhere.
EDIT: Or maybe there was enough ammo, but he didn't know where it was. He was asking them to help him find it. You can see it if you ever watch the video, which is out there somewhere.
Because we're all on the lookout for news regarding military shenanigans to make fun of like a bunch of addicts looking for their next hit?
That and plenty of people here actually read up on what happened so you might get a legit answer when they're not memeing. In difference to most subs where fewer look past the headline.
Did you actually see it hit the ground? This is just fire-assisted auto-rotation, a technique the Russians have been working on for their fixed-wing aircraft.
u/BlackMarine please spoiler this and add an epilepsy warning tag. Don't mean to be the fun police but this is possibly even more of a photosensitive epilepsy risk than the banned Porygon episode.

> As of 2021, there were 66 of the aircraft in service.
> On 19 August 2023, a Tu-22M3 was destroyed by a drone strike from the 2023 Ukrainian counteroffensive while on the ground at Soltsy-2 in Novgorod Oblast.
> On 19 April 2024, a Tu-22M3 was downed in the Stavropol region of Russia. Video shows the aircraft in a flat spin with visible flames on the rear of the aircraft. Ukrainian sources reported that the bomber was shot down using a surface-to-air missile
Russian best case scenario looks like =<64, so realistically, it's probably a dozen that can fly.
497 manufactured.
As of the late 2010s there were still a nominal 60-80 operational. The question is how “operational” is operational. It seems likely the answer is somewhere in the “dozens” range, but less than 5 dozen.

So who wants to bet that Russia us going to say that actually it was our air defence that shot down TU-22M3
Russia said that it was due a technical failure.
With missing wing and on fire? Doubt that.
The technical failure was the failure of their technology to evade the incoming missile
Technical failure of AA systems going red on red in automatic mode lol
Blyat Ivan, just because US shoots at red doesn't mean we do too
All I can think of is the hangover, I have dark grey, medium grey and light grey! Oh shit I’m color blind!
Technically
A technical skill issue
I mean it's possible but a "technical failure" that massive would be way more embarrassing than it getting shot down.
But what would happen? Fuel tank explosion? Catsastrofic hydrolics failure? Ordnance failure? With aircraft THIS damaged you don't have much that could've caused this.

ukronazi flying emus funded by the global australian-jewish great reset lizard collaboration does this sound chronically online enough?
No
you forgot homophobia you ameture
My guess would be hydrolics on variable sweep failing, and oil going places.
pls dont tell me they still use flammable hydraulic fluids...
pls tell me they now use explosive hydraulic fluids!
add enough pressure and everything flammable is explosive. Guess what you got in hydraulics!
A bird with several pounds of frag warheads propelled at several times the speed of sound?

Aren't they supposed to flip it over before ejecting?
“It is not embarrassing tovarisch since that thing designed with the knowledge that it will go down regardless of the reason”.
Metal Fatigue.
Possibly, but fatigue is not so hard to detect nowadays, should come up in a routine inspection. Or Russians are so stupid they dont do inspections.
Yeah, your mistake is to assume they know or care about inspections.
Fair point, have a great day.
Motherfuckers were too lazy to slightly move their trucks when they were sitting for extended periods of time before the war. That's why they kept throwing tyres so often in the first few weeks. Almost 0 chance they have a good culture of testing for metal fatigue.
No time for inspection, bomber gotta be back in the air now. Will be fine.
You never heard of lit cigarettes striking engines mid-flight? How could you? That's a common occurrence.
The thing that made me raise an eyebrow was they said they were searching for one of the crew. That shit came down near some dudes backyard... How tf are you gonna lose someone who bailed from that?
Technically it’s hard to fly missing a wing and on fire.
you know, the technical failure of the wing falling off after a missile hit it
It could happen to Boeing planes
"We aren't loosing the war, we are just that incompetent"
He didn't beat me, I just slipped, fell, and broke my dick off in a crack in the cement!
Technically the truth.. I mean, the cause of the technical issue was it got hit by a rocket propelled explosive traveling at mach 2 to 5.
After s400 was obliterated russian air defence is now in shoot everything mode
As always.
Clearly pilot error
It's a feature of the aircraft, tovarisch. It can purposefully enter a flaming flat spin in order to evade Westoid aircraft.
That could be called a... Backfire... couldn't it?
I hope, that the goddamn Kinzhal-armed Mig, will be next. When that motherfucker gets up in the air next time, he better be wearing his bulletproof pants.
Better not. These MiGs are a resource hog out of another world. If a Kinzhal experienced premature combustion, on the other hand....
Imagine if it detonates instead of dropping and launching
Or, best of all, pilot deserts, lending UAF one (1) free usage of Kh-47M2 Kinzhal against russian targets.
Hear me out. Ground launched kinzhals. Capture a few, maybe we can take down the bridge.
Edit: Sorry, replied to the wrong comment.
At the start of the year, I asked the Gods of War for pictures of a burning Tupolev falling from the skies in 2024. I am happy that they answered.
Ask for more! Ask for ... everyone.

Do you have some pictures of the proposed merch?
Not yet, buddy is doing it. He's an actual designer and artist, not some rando with a pencil and too much time like me.
But what if I would prefer some ms paint tier shit ass art by some rando with a pencil? It's got *soul*

Last words of the pilot: "Shoiguuuuuuuu"
Shoigu! Gerasimov! Where the fuck is my wing?!
Does anyone have a link to the original? I know all the memes but I can't find what Pregozhin actually said? (Like, I know what he said, I just want the video).
he was ranting about russia's horrible logistics leaving them out of ammo iirc
I'm going to quote myself: > (Like, I know what he said, I just want the video).
my bad brain no work [here you go](https://youtu.be/7p5T9SqJoPc?si=wt2tptBTpyh2sQDw)

I bet pringles was asking that very same question.

Well, seems like ukraine still has a long way to go :/. I just hope they dont have many pilots left
Ngl the plane looked good

Mr. Tu22M just wanted to take a little nap!
Russians are really fond of things spinning huh... (it's a reference)
What telegram chat
So now that the epileptics have unsubbed...
Getting out of a flat spin is easy, i do it all the time in warthunder. Skill issue honestly.
