Most people in the world don't know what it takes to have a complete air force, let alone what a powerful air force must have.
Between an offensive air force and a defensive air force, it's even rarer to find someone who understands and is familiar with the difference.
Currently, only two countries possess strategic bombers, the United States and Russia, and bombers are the main offensive force of an air force.
Fighter jets, well-known and often talked about by most people, are actually just the basic part of an air force, used for defense, to prevent enemy bombers from bombing.
How did Russia, even in its decline, remain one of the world's strongest air forces? It's because of the Tu-22 Backfire bombers, the Tu-95 Bear strategic bombers, and the Tu-160 White Swan supersonic strategic bombers.
