Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu today, while on a visit to the Republic of Tatarstan, discussed the development of the Aerospace Forces. In particular, Shoigu noted the importance of work on bringing the serviceability of weapons, military and special equipment to regulatory requirements.
A separate topic of discussion was the program for entering the modernized strategic Tu-160M strategic bomber into the Russian Aerospace Forces. According to the country's defense minister, the first serial strategist of the Tu-160M should go to the troops in 2021. It is noted that the work on the modernization of strategic bombers is carried out in accordance with the schedule. This is, in fact, an important clarification, especially if we consider that many programs for creating new equipment or upgrading existing ones are often delayed in terms of implementation. I would like to hope that the modernization program of the Tu-160M will not follow the described path.
The Minister of Defense noted that the upgraded bomber is equipped with the latest defense complex, communication system. Also on the Tu-160M installed engines NK-32 second series (NK-32-2).
These engines can significantly increase the radius of application. Engine developer is SNTK them. N. D. Kuznetsova.
