Russian TU 160. The White Swan



Video description:
The TU-160 was made in response to the American strategic bomber B-1, created by the Rockwell Company. NATO nicknamed the TU-160 Black Jack, which has two meanings-it is both a legendary and unstoppable warship and a police riot stick. Russian pilots call the TU-160 White Swan for the way it resembles the glorious and noble bird in flight.
The TU-160 is the first bomber designed in Russia, and was initially designed to evade radar detection using stealth technology. Designers at Tupolev Aircraft Research and Development Company and other research institutions, created the aircraft combining the best features of the TU-22M and TU-95MC bombers, Russia's first supersonic passenger airliner TU-144 and other aircraft of that class.
