- Tu-160 Image A -

Origin: (Real World)
Russia

Games Featured In:
Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies
Ace Combat: Assault Horizon

[Operators:
Erusian Air Force
New Russian Federation

Overview:
The Tu-160 is a high-speed, high-altitude bomber aircraft designed as a response to the XB-70 and B-1B. The plane is capable of Mach 2 and employs some low observable techniques. The Tu-160 has the greatest total thrust and maximum takeoff weight of any combat aircraft. The Blackjack also has the highest top speed and one of the largest combat payloads of any modern heavy bomber to be produced. Though this aircraft resembles the American B-1B, it is 20% larger than the B-1B. Except for speed and possibly maneuverability, performance is very similar or equal to the B-1B.

Though the Tu-160 was not as widely produced as other modern heavy bombers during its first years of service, its capabilities make it an extremely potent conventional and nuclear weapons platform around the world.

Minor edits to grammar and spelling.

The attitudes toward this aircraft, looking back on old Western world encyclopedias, was astonishing. Even for sources of information, the speculation on this plane was quite prominent in the entries.
