Head of Tupolev company: The newest Tu-160M2 is already under construction

The company "Tupolev" has already begun to build a new version of the upgraded strategic missile carrier - Tu-160М2. It is reported by the news agency Interfax with reference to the general director of the company Alexander Konyukhov.

According to the head of the Tupolev, the first aircraft in the guise of the Tu-160М2 is already under construction. It is noted that the Tu-160М2 has a “fresh glider”.

Alexander Konyukhov:

Tu-160M2 - a completely new aircraft. And Tu-160M - modernization of the aircraft in service. Tu-160M will be released for flight tests in 2019, and will complete them in 2021. At the same time, tests of the Tu-160М2 will be launched in parallel.

The new strategic missile carrier, as stated, will have greater speed and range. In addition, it will be equipped with completely new means of hitting targets. The rocket carrier fleet is planned to be updated by 2030 year.

For your information:
Tu-160, adopted in 1987, is aviation Long-range aviation complex. The aircraft is capable of carrying up to 40 tons of bomb load at a speed of over 2,2 thousand km / h over a distance of about 14 thousand km.

To date, the aircraft set the 44 world record.

Beautiful planes yet ..! Well, God forbid ..

[Alex777]

The planes are great. But the phrase:

The aircraft is capable of carrying up to 40 tons of bomb load at a speed of over 2,2 thousand km / h over a distance of about 14 thousand km.

really touches. At a speed of 2,2 thousand km / h, the flight range will be in the region of 2000 km. Total.
14 km is a subsonic. And 000 km / h is just to break away from fighters with suspended tanks. With tanks, they lag behind, and without tanks, the fighter jets lack the fuel to intercept.

Effective clarification, in spite of our informants who do not delve into the details.

That's why they broke it off like that? After all, such a plane came out unique ... Eh ...

This is the maximum range, and practical without refueling is 12300 km.
In 2010, a record was set for range and flight time, which amounted to 18000 km (about 50 tons of fuel were refueled) and the flight time was -24 hours 24 minutes.

F-16, F-18 and without tanks lag behind

Do you know exactly?

see their maximum speed

[Alex777]

F-16 in separate versions 2,5M had. And it is good that they did not go to a large series.
Of course, I saw the data on Wiki. But the reliability there is not 100%.

given that he can carry nuclear weapons, not only a small city, but not a small one. and not only one.

And it is right. That's where you need to direct resources, and not bother with obsolete aircraft carrier troughs.

I have no idea where you will send them without support

If you were the last signature on the doctrine of the state across the ocean, you would be thanklessly told ...

so here is the doctrine we have DEFENSE !!!! and does not provide for conquest wars.

The Arctic is now breaking up almost half a pole from the ice, there are almost no airfields there and in the depths of Siberia, as well as a continuous radar field

the Americans have already sent

[astepanov]

There are things that you can and want to be proud of!

[Sands Careers General]

It is the largest and most powerful supersonic aircraft in the history of military aviation and an aircraft with a variable geometry of the wing, as well as the heaviest military aircraft in the world, which has the highest maximum take-off mass among bombers. It is also the fastest bomber in service.

Power!

[Vitaly Anisimov]

Of course, an expensive machine, but powerful and already fighting! And now they are modernizing it and launching it in a series .. Mom Don't Cry!

[pvv113]

Quote: General of the Sand Quarries

I’m embarrassed to fix it, yet the Tu-22M3 is the fastest. He has speed at an altitude of up to 2300 km / h

[Sands Careers General]

Too shy to say, I honestly stole this phrase from Wikipedia))

[pvv113]

If we compare only strategic bombers, then the Tu-160 is beyond competition. But our Long-Range Aviation is represented by both strategic and long-range bombers

[Sands Careers General]

In the discussion, truth is born, being a land hunter, I learned a lot about aviation))

Explain what it means to cover the area of ​​patrol of a nuclear submarine with an aircraft carrier? . How and how much better is an expensive aircraft carrier with planes "covering the area" than, for example, a ship equipped with missiles and a helicopter?

I agree! Maybe not the aircraft carriers themselves, but something like udk with vertical take-off and landing aircraft ....

In Syria, these "White Swans" also showed themselves well .. Devils turned into steam!

[BVS]

"Tu-160M2 - a completely new aircraft." So what kind of glider will this model have - the old one (from stocks), the new one in the image of the old ones (if technology is restored), or the completely new one (new model)?

Well, I'm not a shkolota like you. Which thinks according to the principle - Since I like it, then it is necessary. And justify the need, even if it’s crazy.
For example, to cover aircraft carrier areas for patrolling strategists. This, of course, you need to strain the Mosk hard to think of it.
