The Tupolev 160 [Tu-160]
NATO designation: Blackjack
NATO designation: Blackjack
The Tupolev "Blackjack" is Russia's most modern strategic bomber. It is a direct contender to the United State's B-1 "Lancer", and they are both similar in design. Regardless of the similarities in design, the Tupolev is significantly larger, faster with a much larger combat range and arnament capacity. It is the largest combat aircraft ever built. Russian pilot's have nicknamed the Tu-160 as "The White Swan" due to it's impressive manouverability and it's white colour. There are at least 16 "Blackjacks" in service with the VVS [Военно-воздушные cилы/Russian Air Force].
