  Tu-160 (in Russian: Tupolev Tu-160, NATO reporting name: Blackjack) is a supersonic, variable sweep wing, heavy bomber designed Tupolev bureau in the Soviet Union. Although several civil and military transport planes to more dimensions, the Tu-160 is currently the largest military aircraft of the world’s largest supersonic aircraft, and the most variable sweep aircraft built. In addition, the Tu-160 has a takeoff weight of any heavy fighting litakiv.Vvedennya services in 1987, the Tu-160 was the last strategic bomber designed for the Soviet Union. The aircraft remains in limited production, at least 16 aircraft currently in service with the Air Force competition for Rosii.RozvitokPershy supersonic strategic heavy bomber was launched in the Soviet Union in 1967. In 1972 the Soviet Union launched a new multi-purpose bomber competition to create a new supersonic, variable geometry (‘swing-wing “) heavy bomber with a top speed of Mach 2.3, in response to the U.S. Air Force B -1 bomber project. Tupolev, called the plane 160M, with long flying wing layout and the inclusion of some elements of the Tu-144, fought against the Myasishchev M-18 and Su T-4 design. Version Myasishchev in a variable-geometry aircraft, was considered the most successful. However, that organization is seen as a great potential for this complex project, and was appointed in 1973 to develop a new aircraft based on a new design Myasischev.Robota Soviet bomber continued despite the end of the B-1A, and in the same year, the project was adopted by the government commission. The prototype was photographed by passengers at the airport Zhukovsky in November 1981, about a month before the first flight on December 18, 1981. Production was authorized in 1984, starting with the Kazan Aircraft Production Association. Production of the aircraft, designed Tu-160 (factory designation “aircraft K” or “Product 70″), was originally designed for a total of 100 aircraft, although only 35 were made, including the three prototypes. The second prototype was lost in flight testing in 1987, the crew confiscated uspishno.ModernizatsiyaU 2006 the Russian Air Force is expected to receive five modernized and a new built Tu-160. [2], the Russian Air Force will receive five modernized Tu-160 a year, which means that the modernization of the fleet can be achieved within three years, when the schedule is constantly [3]. Changes announced include a fully digital, multireserved, neutrons and other nuclear emissions resistant avionics, full support for cruising and steering through GLONASS global satellite positioning system. And the updated version of the NK-32 engines with high reliability [3] allow the use of weapons modernization of new nuclear / conventional GLONASS navigation of cruise missiles (Kh-55), [4] and the fall of laser-guided bombs [5] The planned modernization of the added ability to control missiles to trigger a military or civilian satellites,. [6] and the release of advanced radar absorbing pokrittiv.DizaynVolodimir Putin in the cockpit of the Tu-160 in August 2005 roku.Tu-160 with a variable geometry wing aircraft, sweep selectable from 20 ° to 65 °. The aircraft uses a complex system of digital remote control mixed profile of the wing and the full range of plates are used on the front edge with double slotted flaps on the trailing edge. The variable geometry provides an effective conventional takeoff and subsonic cruise, and also allows Mach 2 polotu.Tu-160 is equipped with four Kuznetsov NK-321 afterburning turbofan engines, the most powerful ever mounted on the aircraft. In contrast to the American B-1B Lancer, which reduced the initial Mach 2 + requirement for B-1A to achieve a smaller radar profile, Tu-160 retains the variables of consumption, and can reach speeds of Mach 2 at altitude. NK-321 turbofan subsonic cruise effective but not optimal for supersonic flight at the entrance oporu.Tu-160 is equipped with a method of “pipe-cone” in-flight refueling system with an expanded range of tasks, although it is rarely used. Internal fuel capacity of the Tu-160 aircraft provides 130 tons of approximately 15 hours of flight time at cruising speed of 850 km / h (0.77 M, 530 miles / h) at 9145 m (30,003 ft). [8] In February 2008, Tu-160 and Il-78 tanker air refueling practiced during the exercise of air combat, as well as the MiG-31, A50 and other Russian military litakiv.Hocha Tu-160 was designed to reduce the detection of both radar and infrared, it is not a stealth aircraft. Nevertheless, April 25, 2006, Lieutenant-General Igor Khvorov said the Tu-160 failed to penetrate the American sector of the Arctic unnoticed, leading to the investigation of the U.S. Air Force in accordance with Russian zherel.Tu-160-K has a review of the attack radar in slightly upturned dielectric radome, and a separate “Hill” area, the following radar, which provides fully automatic terrain following flight at low altitude. Tu-160 has electric telescopic sight. His collection of electronic war includes a comprehensive active and passive systems ECM.Tu-160 has a crew of four (pilot, copilot, weapons systems officer and defensive systems operator) in the K-36DM ejection seats. The pilot of the fighter-style control knob, but the flight instruments traditional “steam gauge” set. Recreation Area crew, toilet, galley and is designed for long flights. There is no HUD, as well as CRT MFDs are presented in the original aircraft, but plans for the modernization of Tu-160 was announced in 2003. These include a new digital flight control system, and the ability to carry out new types of weapons, such as new non-nuclear long-range missiles plavannya.Zbroya carried out in two internal bays, each of which holds 20000 kg (44,400 lb) free-fall weapons or rotary launcher system for nuclear missiles, additional missiles can be carried outside. The total load capacity of aircraft weapons 40,000 kg (88,185 pounds). However, no defensive weapons are Tu-160 is the first unarmed post-World War II Soviet бомбардувальник.Демілітаризованої, commercial version of the Tu-160, named Tu-160SK, was shown at the Asian Aerospace in Singapore in 1994 with a model of a small space device name Burlak attached under the fuselage. In 1995 Tupolev announced a partnership with the German company OHB-System for production of the aircraft as a carrier for the carrier rocket, after the German government withdrew funding in 1998 rotsi.Hocha superficially similar to the American B-1 Lancer, the Tu-160 is an entirely different class of combat aircraft, its main role as a platform for confrontation missiles (strategic bomber). Tu-160 is also larger and faster than the B-1B and has a slightly larger combat radius, while B-1B has a large capacity and a combination of modern avionics. Another significant difference is that the color scheme on the B-1B Lancer, as a rule, the radar-absorbent Black, Tu-160 is painted anti-flash white, giving him the nickname among the Russian pilots “White Swan”. Working istoriyaTu-160 began service with the 184 Guards Bomber Regiment, based in Priluki, the Soviet Union in 1987 rotsi.Nemae selected Tu-160 trainer version was built. Pilot training was conducted using the first Tu-22M bombers. Tu-134UBL heavily modified version of the Tu-134 aircraft was later використаний.РозгортанняЕскадрилья deployment in long-range aviation began in April 1987, the Tu-160 was first unveiled at the parade in 1989. In 1989 and 1990 he set 44 world speed records flying in his weight class. Prior to 1991, 19 aircraft served in the 184th Guards Heavy bombers Priluki in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, replacing Tu-16 and Tu-22M3. In January 1992, Boris Yeltsin decided to cease production of the Tu-160. By this time, 35 aircraft were built. That same year, Russia unilaterally suspended strategic aviation flights to remote regions. After the fall of the Soviet Union, 19 out of 35 aircraft became the property of the newly independent Ukraine, although the 1999 agreement between Russia and Ukraine led to eight of these aircraft, referred to in exchange for a reduction in energy consumption in Ukraine debts. Ukraine, which renounced nuclear weapons under the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction agreement, killed his friend, blackjack, except for one case remains stationary ekspozitsiyu.Drugy Tu-160 unit in Russia, 121-th Guards regiment of heavy bombers based to Engels, was organized in 1992, but by 1994 it had received only six aircraft. Between 1999 and 2000, eight former Ukrainian aircraft were sent to the regiment, and another newly built aircraft was appointed in 2000. At the beginning of 2001 in accordance with the START-2 Treaty, Russia had built 15 new Tu-160, six of which were previously missile bombers. One plane was lost during a test flight after engine repair, September 18, 2003 roku.Isnuvaly 14 Tu-160 was commissioned in November 2005. Two more new built aircraft is nearing completion at the factory in Kazan aircraft, one of which was put into effect in March 2006, with another following at the end of this year. In 2001 six new Tu-160 served as a prototype in Zhukovsky, the four remaining polotu.30 up to December 2005 by a decree signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Tu-160 officially entered service in the Air Force in August 2007 Rosii.17 Putin said, that Russia’s strategic aviation flights to resume in 1991 stopped, sending its bombers on long patrols. [13] September 14, 2007 British and Norwegian fighter jets intercepted two Tu-160 violated the airspace of NATO in the UK and Finland. December 25, 2007 two blackjack close to Danish airspace, and the two Danish Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcons scrambled to intercept and identify the sources of ih.Zgidno Russian government on September 11, 2007, the Tu-160 was used to give a massive fuel-air explosive Father of all bombs on its first test field. However, some military analysts are skeptical that the weapons were made really blekzhek.28 December 2007 the first flight of a new Tu-160 was reported to have occurred after the aircraft at the Kazan aviation plant. [18] After the flight tests, a suicide bomber entered the Russian Air Force on April 29, 2008, bringing the total number of aircraft in operation and 16 years. One of the new Tu-160 is expected to be introduced into service a year or two, until the active reserve reaches 30 or more aircraft in 2025 30.Tu-160, № 02 “Vasily Reshetnikov,” at the airbase Engels.10 September 2008, two Russian Tu-160 landed in Venezuela as part of military exercises, saying the unprecedented deployment of Russia’s ally at that time, more and more strained relations between Russia and the United States. The Russian Defense Ministry said the two Tu-160 bombers were on a training mission. This is said in a statement the Russian agency that the plane will carry out training flights over neutral waters, before returning to Russia. His spokesman added that the planes were accompanied by NATO fighters as they flew across the Atlantic okean.12 October 2008 the number of Tu-160 bombers took part in the largest Russian strategic bomber exercises since 1984. A total of 12 bombers, including the Tu-160 Blackjack and Tu-95 carried out a series of launches its cruise missiles. Some of the bombers were full of missiles.
