| Paul Scott, 17.08.2016 22:08 Exceptional aircraft, 88,000lbs bombload. reply | | Dalhats Laudzafata Avicena, e-mail, 19.12.2013 17:22 The Tupolev 160 isnt copy of any american aircraft,even the B-1,the development of the tupolev 160 started when soviet union started to make supersonic bomber,the first design much like tu-144.
And if the tu-160 is B-1 copy this wouldnot be the strategic bomber,but
the aircraft that able to penetrete defensive system like B-1 can and its wellbe equipt with jammers or PGM,not with missille.
People says like that only because tu-160 body like B-1. reply | | Dalhats Laudzafata Avicena, e-mail, 25.11.2013 12:39 Actually this is not the biggest bomber ever construct this is the 3rd largest bomber after m-50 and xb-70.
And according to some source this can carrying 40 tonnes of ordnance,if thetupolev 160 is stealth bombe.I think this is the world deadliest weapon. reply | | augusto, e-mail, 23.07.2012 03:00 alguien sabe si el borde inferior de salida del ala se levanta para ponerse en flecha o es el freno reply | |

It is also the largest operational bomber in the world according to numberous sources. reply | | a.casais, e-mail, 02.11.2010 21:09 Well i believe this plane they use to call "blackjack" by the NATO i know why, even in the cost.when the soviets break apart, ucrania was the one who has more of thems.Lucky guys. reply | | a.casais, e-mail, 02.11.2010 21:08 Well i believe this plane they use to call "blackjack" by the NATO i know why, even in the cost.when the soviets break apart, ucrania was the one who has more of thems.Lucky guys. reply | | a.casais, e-mail, 02.11.2010 21:07 Well i believe this plane they use to call "blackjack" by the NATO i know why, even in the cost.when the soviets break apart, ucrania was the one who has more of thems.Lucky guys. reply | | broozed, e-mail, 26.08.2010 01:02 Russian aircraft, the best and most reliable in the world, in contrast to the U.S.. reply | | Nikos J. Farsaris, e-mail, 15.05.2010 06:21 F-22A might be the only capable of intercepting a Tu-160 if uncovered by a radar at a logical range. (300Km or more)
The other intereptor wcich could this job is...(Mig31) reply | | the-world-of-aircraft.blogspot, 27.04.2010 12:33 Tu-160 can fly with a maximum speed of 2200 km /h, so that makes it much easier to escape from the enemy's intercept. remember, f-35 can only fly with a speed of 1930 km /h, reply | |
| | Dokday, e-mail, 28.03.2010 01:00 Tu-160 takes 40 tons of weapons. reply | | Art Deco, 31.07.2009 07:05 There is a lawsuit in progress over defective RAM coatings on the F-22. Could be part of the reason further production is cancelled. $331M and the paint peels off in the rain. reply | | Bill F, e-mail, 29.07.2009 19:47 Stealth that was used in Bosnia was 1960s and 1970's Stealth technology. Things have gotten a LOT better since then. Both the F-22 and F-35 are more stealthy than the F-117A was. reply | | Art Deco, 24.07.2009 18:34 Da, junk like american automobiles, refusing to copy Toyota and Honda, the copycat Japanese, or Hyundai, who copycat the Japanese. American stealth doesn't work in rain. Known since Bosnia. Big secret like GM intake manifolds. Anyway, nice looking junk with good proportions and impressive performance. reply | | theprofessor, e-mail, 24.07.2009 16:47 Russians are one of the best copycat builders in the world, as are the japanese, korean, and chinese people. But it doesn't mean that when they fabricate, that it will be a copy...a lot of russian aircraft are built like junk, but are mass-produced....there is no quality whatsoever reply | | FERRET, 08.04.2009 22:25 hey joke you really are a joke, do you think that the b-2 its the only stelth in the world?, you need learn more about this, the Tu-160 not its complety stealth, but have technology stealth, in adittion have speed, power, charge and strong, you child are really a joke reply |
