Russia no longer produces new Tu-95MS strategic bombers, meaning every bomber lost is effectively an irreplaceable loss, The Tu-160M is the only strategic bomber still being produced, but the programme is slow and heavily focused on modernisation. Russia also no longer produces the Tu-22M3.
After Operation Spiderweb, accidents and other losses, Russia’s bomber fleet remains difficult to replace. Every additional aircraft lost means less long-range strike capacity and fewer cruise missiles launched against Ukraine from bombers.
