In response to the continuous provocations and aggressive actions of sabotage-reconnaissance groups of the united Russian-separatist forces in Donbas, we publish the next portion of the data on Russian pilots of Tu-160 supersonic strategic heavy bombers, which hit the peaceful Syrian citizens and moderate opposition.

Russia’s Ministry of Defense uploaded a video clip with a mission sortie of ‘Valery Chkalov’ Tu-160 aircraft (tail No. ‘RF-94110’) on November 20, 2015.

The video shows the launch of a cruise missile (presumably of type Kh-555) at a target in the Syrian territory. It bears reminding that starting from November 17, within the Russian military operation in Syria, the strategic bombers Tu-95MS and Tu-160 began conducting massive air strikes with Kh-555 and Kh-55SM cruise missiles.

Next, based on the open data published on ruspotting resource (archive), InformNapalm has analyzed the information about preparations for the Victory Day’s parade, which contained a picture of ‘Valery Chkalov’ Tu-160 warplane.

Also, based on the information from the forum of Balashov Aviation High Military School (archive), InformNapalm’s volunteers have found the following data on Igor Tveritin:

  • he graduated from this institute in 1997
  • phone No. 8-987-331-12-84;
  • e-mail: samolet222@mail.ru

On November 21, Russia’s MD published the video with a missile launch from Tu-160 aircrafts. It is not really clear why did they blur the tail No. of this bomber (at 00:32) since it can be easily identified by its name seen on further slides.

At 01:20 you can see that this is ‘Aleksandr Golovanov’ Tu-160 bomber (tail No. ‘RF-94104’).

12298117_1526364664342672_397905158_oThe information in an article on ugresh.ru website (archive) gave us the names of the crew members:

  • Artur Petrenko – major, commander
  • Timur Gasanov – engineer
  • Denis Borisov – navigator
