Mishusky began his trip to the Far East and Siberia, and the coastal border area is actively attracting investment, building housing, and implementing large-scale transportation projects.
On the 24th, Russian Prime Minister Mishusky made his first visit to the coastal border region and first visited the Far Eastern Federal University of Russia. Russian media reported that this is a world-class university that accommodates over 26000 university students and staff. The Russian government has allocated 14 billion rubles for the expansion of the university.
At the same time as expanding universities, the construction of the Sukhodor Port in the coastal border area is also intensifying. With the completion of the port, Russia's exports to Asia Pacific countries will be expanded.

Russian media: The Russian Ministry of Defense is considering deploying Tu-160 in the Far East
At the same time as the Russian Prime Minister's visit to the Far East, the Russian military also released a message. On the 24th, the Russian newspaper "Shimbun" reported, citing sources, that the Russian Ministry of Defense is considering deploying a Tu-160 strategic bomber aviation fleet in the Far East region. The final decision has not yet been made. The report states that all of this will depend on the number and composition of defense orders for the Tu-160 bomber. At present, within the framework of Russian defense orders, the Tu-160 bomber is undergoing modernization and upgrading, and more improved strategic bombers of the Tu-160M are being manufactured.
If the decision is ultimately passed, the newly formed Tu-160 Air Regiment will become part of the long-range air force stationed in Amur Oblast. Russian military experts have stated that the Tu-160 strategic bombers deployed in the Far East will be used to deter the United States and its allies in the region.
The Tu-160 bomber, nicknamed the "White Swan" by Russians, can reach a speed of 2000 kilometers per hour and a refueling range of 12000 kilometers. It is the world's fastest and farthest strategic bomber.

Three Troops of US Strategic Bombers Gather in Alaska for Exercise
At the same time, the United States has also taken action in Alaska, which is closest to Russia. According to the Eurasian Times of India on the 22nd, the US Air Force recently dispatched three rare strategic bombers, B-2, B-1B, and B-52H, to Alaska for a joint mission.
According to reports, from July 18th to 19th, during a joint mission at Elmendorf Richardson Joint Base in Alaska, three different bomber units from the United States Air Force, including B-1B, B-2, and B-52H strategic bombers, were integrated and coordinated in combat. The details of the related tasks have not been made public. The US Air Force stated in a statement that in this special mission, strategic bomber pilots from different bases such as Dais Air Force Base in Texas, Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota, and Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri effectively implemented the concept of "agile combat deployment" for bombers. They reorganized their frontline combat base in Alaska into a cohesive force for collaborative combat exercises to enhance interoperability and test the ability for large-scale bombing operations.
Indian media: The United States has significantly increased the frequency of deploying bombers in the Indo Pacific region
The Eurasian Times believes that the United States has significantly increased the frequency of deploying bombers in the Indo Pacific region recently, which is considered a potential deterrent to countries such as Russia and China.

The status of US strategic bombers is worrying
In fact, "ideals are full, reality is bone like.". The current situation of the US military's strategic bomber unit is not good, and the safety rate of B-1B and B-2 strategic bombers has long been low. The B-1B is even known as the "hangar queen" because it often stays in the hangar to dust. The US military has planned to retire all B-1B aircraft by around 2030, and the B-52H is also planned to undergo upgrades and renovations in the coming years. The expensive B-2 will be replaced by a new generation of B-21 bombers.
