Claim 1: “strategic deterrence, as well as strikes against critical enemy targets deep in its territory, are ensured by long-range aviation forces, armed with Tu-160, Tu-95MS and Tu-22M3 missile carriers and bombers”
CORROBORATED
Multiple independent sources confirm that the Tu-160, Tu-95MS, and Tu-22M3 are strategic bombers used by Russia for missile carrying and strategic strikes. This is confirmed by Wikipedia (Tu-160, Tu-95) and multiple web search results describing their roles and stationing at strategic airfields like Engels.

While the Su-34M is not detailed in the provided snippets, the Su-30 and Su-35 are confirmed as the primary multirole platforms of the Russian Air Force.

Claim 4: “The fifth-generation Su-57 fighters today have no analogues in the world”
DISPUTED
The claim states the Su-57 has 'no analogues in the world' (implying it is the only 5th gen fighter). This is directly contradicted by the existence of other 5th generation fighters. While the evidence provided focuses on the Su-57, general aviation knowledge and the 'Top 10 best fighter jets' search result imply the existence of other top-tier jets. Specifically, the US F-22 and F-35 are globally recognized 5th generation analogues currently in serial production, making the claim that it has 'no analogues' factually incorrect.
