Can you spot anything different in the photos posted by the Rosian Embassy in Germany? Russia continues the production of Tu-160M missile-carrying strategic bombers. Production of the Tu-160 resumed at the Kazan Aircraft Plant. From the outside, the plane remains unchanged, but from the inside, it is practically a new machine. The modernization affects about 80 percent of the systems. Includes new avionics, navigation and a new drive system. NK-32-02 engines: lower fuel consumption, longer range. Cockpit: digital dashboard instead of analog displays. Radar and Communications: New radar and navigation equipment. Armament: up to 12 long-range cruise missiles on board. "One of the biggest challenges we faced was restoring industrial cooperation. Starting with suppliers of materials and semi-finished products. For several trains, we have virtually completely built the technological supply chains using modern technologies. ".
Yuri Avrosimov (CEO of the Russian airline Tupolev).
