Funny. Thanks. I was about to post something about waiting for them to crash into mountains. Oh, wait, that is what the American B2's did at
first. I still want to see the Russian knock off of the space shuttle get launched...

A Russian plane that Stranger didn't know about???
No doubt, it's not the only design they've successfully copied/modified. I've got to give props to the Soviets when it comes to the spy
game...definitely one area where they've constantly been more superior....

Very good find $tranger. Congratulation.
" The Tu-180 is becoming a backbone of the Dal'naya Aviatsia with more than a dozen in service with 1096 TBAP (strategic bomber regiment) at Engels.
"
I've some question :
- Do you know how many planes the Russians want to have in service ?
- When they'll deploy all of them ?
- What's the cost for the whole program and the cost for 1 Tu-180 ?

Tu-180 looks like the Russian match for the YB-49.

I think that the Tu-180 is subsonic. Probably in the 400-600MPH range.

That five aircraft per year is interesting. I have never seen pics or info until now. We need to find current pics if there is any.

Nope. look carefully. The TU-180 doesn't have any engines under his belly. But this one, yes. 4 me, it's looking like a Blackjack who don't have
any trail.
Also, the noses and cockpits are very different from each others.
