俄罗斯国防部周二宣布，一架图-95战略轰炸机在阿穆尔地区执行训练任务时坠毁，导致6名机组人员遇难。据官方媒体报道，该飞机并未携带任何弹药；第七名机组人员在事故中幸存，随后被送往医院接受治疗。国防部在声明中表示：“这架图-95轰炸机在克拉斯诺亚罗沃附近执行训练任务时紧急着陆，机组人员竭尽全力将飞机引导远离居民区。”
One of Russia's Tu-95 strategic bombers crashed during a training flight in the Amur region, killing six crew members, the country's defense ministry said on Tuesday. The plane was not carrying any ammunition, and a seventh crew member survived the initial crash and was hospitalized, the defense ministry added, per state media. "A Tu-95 military aircraft made an emergency landing while conducting a training flight near Krasnoyarovo.
据俄罗斯媒体报道，该轰炸机在从乌里扬卡空军基地起飞后不久便发生了坠毁。阿穆尔地区位于俄罗斯东部，与中国黑龙江省接壤。俄罗斯方面尚未公布事故的具体原因。对于《Business Insider》的采访请求，俄罗斯国防部尚未立即作出回应。据估计，俄罗斯目前拥有47架图-95MS轰炸机；不过乌克兰情报部门曾在8月份指出，由于战斗损失、维护问题以及零部件短缺，俄罗斯现役的图-95轰炸机数量已减少至37至38架。
The crew did everything possible to divert the aircraft away from residential buildings," the ministry said in a statement. According to state media, the bomber went down shortly after taking off from the Ukrainka air base. The Amur region is in eastern Russia, bordering China's Heilongjiang province. Russian officials have not said what caused the crash. The Russian defense ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent by Business Insider.
此次坠机事件发生在2025年6月乌克兰对俄罗斯空军基地发动“蜘蛛网”无人机袭击之后——那次袭击导致约7至8架图-95轰炸机受损。图-95轰炸机是一种涡轮螺旋桨飞机，无需额外加油即可飞行9,300英里（约15,000公里），是俄罗斯空中核打击力量的核心组成部分，常被比作美国的B-52战略轰炸机。失去这样一架轰炸机对俄罗斯的远程核打击能力来说是一个重大打击。
Russia is believed to possess 47 Tu-95MS bombers, though Ukrainian intelligence said in August that combat losses, maintenance issues, and a shortage of parts have reduced its operational fleet to 37 or 38 planes. The crash comes more than a year after Ukraine conducted a surprise drone attack, Operation Spiderweb, on a Russian air base in June 2025 that damaged an estimated seven to eight Tu-95 aircraft. The turboprop aircraft, capable of flying up to 9,300 miles without extra fueling, forms the backbone of Russia's air-based nuclear attack capability and is often compared to the American B-52 Stratofortress.
由于苏联解体后俄罗斯在20世纪90年代拆除了相关生产设施，如今已无法再制造这种飞机。图-95MS轰炸机每次可携带多达16枚核导弹或常规导弹；近年来，俄罗斯曾利用该机型从后方发动Kh-101和Kh-555精确巡航导弹攻击乌克兰目标。
Losing one of these bombers is a significant blow to Russia's long-range nuclear attack fleet. The Kremlin can no longer make any more of these aircraft, after dismantling production facilities in the 1990s as the Soviet Union collapsed.
该舰队还配备了大约18架图-160轰炸机。这些轰炸机体积更大、技术更先进，配备了能够实现超音速飞行的喷气发动机。莫斯科一直在积极生产这种新型飞机，但由于俄罗斯在高端零部件方面受到国际制裁，生产进度十分缓慢——每年可能仅交付一两架飞机。据监测俄罗斯机场及飞机维修厂卫星图像的乌克兰开源分析师称，这些图-160轰炸机中有约三分之二目前处于停飞状态，等待维护或升级。
The Tu-95MS can carry up to 16 nuclear or conventional missiles at a time, and Russia has more recently used the bomber to launch Kh-101 and Kh-555 precision cruise missiles at Ukraine from far behind the front lines. The fleet is supplemented by about 18 Tu-160 bombers, which are heavier, more modern aircraft with jet engines capable of supersonic speeds. Moscow is actively building these newer aircraft, but production has been slow as Russia faces international sanctions on high-end parts, with one or two planes delivered a year, if any. About two-thirds of these Tu-160s are also believed to be grounded for maintenance and upgrades, per Ukrainian open-source analysts who monitor satellite imagery and registries of Russia's airfields and aircraft workshops.
乌克兰去年曾表示，“蜘蛛网行动”（Operation Spiderweb）已经击中了四架图-160轰炸机，但卫星图像仅显示其中一两架确实受到了可修复的损伤。俄罗斯还拥有图-22M3超音速核轰炸机，不过其飞行距离仅为图-95轰炸机的一半左右。俄罗斯在战争开始时共有41架图-22M3轰炸机在服役，但由于乌克兰的攻击和飞机失事，目前其可正常飞行的图-22M3轰炸机数量已减少至仅9架。
Ukraine said last year that Operation Spiderweb had also struck four Tu-160s, though satellite imagery has only shown that one or two of them sustained repairable damage. Russia also fields the Tu-22M3 supersonic nuclear bomber, which can only fly roughly half as far as a Tu-95. It started the war with about 41 Tu-22M3 aircraft on its service registry, but attrition from Ukrainian attacks and crashes has whittled its estimated operational fleet down to as few as nine flightworthy planes.
