Russia unveiled its new Tu-160M2 Blackjack long-range super bomber on Thursday – an upgrade to the Tu-160M and original Tu-160, according to The Drive.

“While ostensibly an improved variant of the Soviet-era Tu-160, the Tu-160M2 is a new bomber in all but name,” Russian media said, according to The Aviationist.

The new Blackjack is expected to make its maiden flight in 2018 and go into mass production in 2021.


Its full capabilities are therefore still unknown – but here’s what we know so far:

The original engine on the Tu-160 – the NK-32 – is already a powerful engine, providing 55,000 lbs of thrust. The B-1B Lancer, on the other hand, only generates about 31,000 pounds of thrust.

Russia Unveils New Tu-160M2 Strategic Super Bomber Update
Nov 16 2017 - 1 Comment

By Tom Demerly
The Newest Version of the Massive Tupolev Tu-160 Blackjack Was Rolled-Out This Week.
Russia has rolled out the latest upgrade of the world’s largest supersonic strategic bomber, the Tupolev Tu-160M2 “White Swan” NATO codename “Blackjack.

While the original version of the Tu-160 first flew in December of 1981, the program was halted with collapse of the Soviet Union. Ukraine acquired several of the aircraft that were subsequently traded back to Russia in a bombers-for-natural gas deal.

“While ostensibly an improved variant of the Soviet-era Tu-160, the Tu-160M2 is a new bomber in all but name” according statements published in Russian media from the Russian Aerospace Force.

By appearance and Russian claims, the Tu-160 appears to be an impressive aircraft, with the completely updated “M2” version purported to be even more capable. The Tu-160 in its previous variants held a number of records for speed in its weight class. It remains the largest, fastest strategic bomber in operation, second only to the developmental U.S. built XB-70 Valkyrie in size, weight and performance. It is also the world’s largest variable-geometry swept wing aircraft, significantly larger and heavier than the U.S. B-1B strategic, supersonic variable-swept wing bomber.

This latest version of the titanic “Blackjack”, as it is known in the west, is expected to make its first flight in late 2018 and enter into full-rate production by 2021 according to Russian media.

“The first Tu-160M2 is expected to make its first flight by the end of 2018, followed by full-scale production in 2021,” Col. Gen. Viktor Bondarev, commander of the Russian Air Force, told media in the rollout ceremony at the S.P. Grobunov assembly facility in Kazan, in southwest Russia on Thursday, Nov. 16, 2017.

The newly built Blackjack will initially be capable of performing the same missions as the existing Blackjack fleet and will subsequently be modified and upgraded to the M2 standard.

Analysts note that the full-scale production date has been rolled back from 2019 to the new 2021 date announced today.

The Tu-160M2 is intended to be the basis of Russia’s strategic strike capability, but funding for the project has faced challenges.

All reports suggest the only similarities between the new “M2” version of the Tu-160 are the name and the airframe. All avionics, sensors and communications equipment are reported to be new. The aircraft is also intended to be re-engined with four new, upgraded Kuznetsov NK-32 engines with afterburners.

Interestingly, the rollout of the new Tu-160M2 seems to have quieted discussion of the conceptual Tupolev PAK-DA flying wing stealth bomber, a project shown in drawings since 2008. Early reports suggested the PAK-DA would be entering service in 2025-2030. A statement today during the Tu-160M2 rollout downplayed low-observable technology, saying that the Mach 2+ speed of the Tu-160M2 and the use of stand-off weapons negated the need for stealth. Key new weapons on the Tu-160M2 are the KH-101 and KH-102 long range, low-observable cruise missiles. These large, capable, precision missile systems have ranges in excess of 1,000 miles.

The Tu-160M2 will operate alongside the aging Russian Tu-95 Bear turboprop long range maritime patrol and strategic bomber in the foreseeable future, mimicking the U.S. reliance on their B-52 Stratofortress legacy heavy bomber alongside the B-1B (conventional) supersonic strategic bomber.

Russia unveils world’s BIGGEST ever nuclear submarine
VLADIMIR PUTIN Is ready to welcome the world’s biggest ever nuclear submarine to the fleet of Russia.


By Henry Holloway / Published 23rd April 2017
Moscow’s seapower is set to expand as navy bosses revealed Project 09852 – which is primed to be the biggest nuclear-powered sub on Earth.

The vessel – known as Belgorod – would be nearly 200-metres long and would be tasked with deep-sea exploration in the Arctic.

Putin’s new 184-metre sub will be based around the unfinished Antey-class missile strike carrier vessel developed by the Soviet Union.

Belgorod will be 14 metres longer than the USS Pennsylvania, the biggest submarine the fleet of the US Navy.

Project 09852 would also be 11 metres longer than the biggest submarine ever unveiled by Russia – the Typhoon cruiser.

The sub’s prime mission will be unexplored territory beneath the Arctic shelf – amid fears Russia and the US could race for oil beneath the North Pole.

Russia's Next Big Nuclear Missile Submarine Launches Tomorrow

TweetShareShare

Russia’s first Project 995A Borei-class nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine (SSBN) is set to be launched on November 17 in Severodvinsk. The vessel, called Prince Vladimir (Князь Владимир—transliterated as Knyaz Vladimir) is an improved version of the original Project 955 SSBN, three of which have been completed for the Russian Navy.

Compared to the three older Project 995 boats, Prince Vladimir has a better acoustical stealth, better electronics and improved living spaces for the crew. Like its predecessors, the new SSBN will be armed with 16 D-30 Bulava submarine launched ballistic missiles. Prince Vladimir is the first of five Project 995A ballistic missile submarines to be built for the Russian Navy. The remainder of the Project 995A boats—Prince Oleg, Generalissimus Suvorov, Emperor Alexander III and Prince Pozharsky are in various stages of construction.

However, the Russians are continuing the development of the Project 995 class beyond the eight vessels that have either been built or are in construction. Recently, Russia’s chief of the general staff, Gen. Valery Gerasimov announced that the Kremlin would develop a third iteration of the Borei design—the Project 995B. "Work to create the advanced Borei-B nuclear-powered missile underwater cruiser has started," Gerasimov said at a Defense Ministry Board meeting according to the TASS news agency.

There are no details available about the new Borei-B, except that it would be technologically more advanced than the original Borei and the Borei-A. In the meantime, the Russia’s new State Armament Plan (abbreviated as GPV 2018-2027) which will run from 2018 to 2027, calls for the development of the new Husky-class submarine.

The Husky will be developed in three variants. One version will be a basic nuclear-powered attack submarine while a second version will be an SSGN or cruise missile carrier. A third version would an another ballistic missile submarine design to complement or potentially replace the older Boreis or remaining Delta-class vessels.

Recommended: Russia's Armata Tank vs. America's M-1 Abrams - Who Wins?

The idea is similar to how the United States Navy developed its Virginia-class submarine, which has evolved from an attack submarine into a cruise missile carrier with the addition of the Virginia Payload Module. An indeed, the U.S. Navy’s forthcoming Columbia-class ballistic missile submarines are in many ways an enlarged derivative of the Virginia-class design. The Russians intend to follow the same pattern with their Husky-class.

One of the surprises in the Kommersant report that has caught many military analysts by surprise is that the SSBN version of the Husky will apparently be armed with a liquid-fueled SLBM. It is possible that the report is in error and the new submarine will be armed with a solid fuel missile, however the Russians continue to arm their Delta-class SSBNs with versions of the liquid-fuel R-29 SLBM.

However, many Russian and American military analysts specializing in Russian defense issues are skeptical that the Husky SSBN variant will ever be built, thus, it might not matter what the GPV says when it is formally released. In the near term at least, since the Husky is at best in its developmental phase, there is no chance that there will be any procurement rubles—allocated to the project.

Russia's Project 955A Borei II-class ballistic missile submarine, the Knyaz Vladimir, will be commissioned to the Russian Navy in 2018.

SEVERODVINSK (Russia) (Sputnik) — Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy Adm. Vladimir Korolev said on Friday that Russia's Project 955A Borei II-class ballistic missile submarine, the Knyaz Vladimir, will be commission to the Russian Navy in 2018.

"We are planning to receive the vessel in 2018, I think, Sevmash [shipyard] will confirm this," Korolev told reporters.

Knyaz Vladimir is the fourth Borei II-class submarine, developed by Russia's Rubin Design Bureau. The Borei-class nuclear-powered subs are to become the mainstay of the naval component of the Russia's strategic nuclear deterrent. The new vessels, with a length of nearly two football fields, can carry sixteen Bulava missiles, each fitted with up to 10 independently-targetable nuclear warheads.

The newest Russian AWACS aircraft can detect up to 300 targets.

Russia's A-100, the most advanced airborne early warning and control aircraft (or AWACS), made its maiden flight, the press service of the Vega concern, which creates equipment for the "flying radar" has announced.

The A-100 first flight test was aimed at checking its aerodynamic characteristics, the performance of avionics and part of the equipment of the radio engineering complex.

The Beriev A-100 aircraft, which was constructed on the base of the Il-76MD-90A (Il-476) transport aircraft, is expected that A-100 will replace the Beriev A-50 Mainstay AWACS aircraft, which is currently in service of the Russian Aerospace Forces.

The Russian Air Force (VVS) will rely heavily on its new Beriev A-100 "Premier" airborne early warning and control (AWACS) aircraft to detect stealthy enemy aircraft such as the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II.

First flown in October 2016, the Beriev 100 carries the new Vega Premier AESA radar in a rotating radome. The array rotates once every five seconds, improving the radar's ability to track fast moving targets such as enemy jets.

The Beriev 100, which is based on the Il-76MD-90A (Il-476) transport aircraft, remains under development, however. The A-100 was first tested in flight on a flying laboratory last month.

The A-100 is being developed by Vega Radio Engineering Concern, a subsidiary of Rostec, the state corporation that dominates Russia's defense industry.

Nicknamed "The Flying Mushroom" because of its huge radome, the Beriev A-100 is a long-range radar surveillance and guidance system. Its role is to detect air targets, surface ships and inform command centers about the situation existing in a specific battlespace.

In addition, they can serve as air command posts and provide assistance to assault aircraft attacking air, land and sea targets.

The Beriev A-100 multifunctional long-range radar surveillance aircraft will be able to detect new classes of targets, including next-generation operational-tactical aircraft, claims Russian Defense Minister, Russian Army General Sergei Shoigu.

"This complex will be able to rapidly build up the radar field in a given operational direction. Its development is conditioned by the appearance of new classes of targets, including next-generation operational-tactical aircraft," said Gen. Shoigu a few days ago.

Russian state-controlled media said the "next-generation operational-tactical aircraft" cited by Gen. Shoigu refers to the F-22 and the F-35.

Gen. Shoigu also said the VVS plans to develop two variants of the Breiev A-100: a flying laboratory and a prototype of a multifunctional radar surveillance and guidance system.

A panoramic video of a Topol-M ICBM test launch shot from a distance of about 50 meters from the mobile launcher was released by the TV network of the Russian Armed Forces.
The nighttime video, with some CGI added to provide specifications of the nuclear-capable missile and highlight the launch platform, was published on Tuesday by Zvezda TV. The footage was taken in October at the Plesetsk Cosmodrome, according to Rossiyskaya Gazeta. The Topol-M (RT-2PM2) is a current land-based vehicle deployed by Russia’s Strategic Missile Forces, launched either from a silo or from a mobile launcher. The Russian Defense Ministry is in the process of replacing them with the more advanced Yars missiles.
