Interesting...the British version of this documentary claims it went half of its intended 15,000 mile range yet here an American version claims it went half of its 10,000 mile range. Unless I completely misheard. Hmmmm....
@JetMechMA Design Bureau Myasishchev existed at Stalene. later Khrushchev it disbanded. Khrushchev hated Stalin, and so peculiar vengeance. KB Myasishchev replaced by Tupolev..
No. Different design company, totally different construction. Was built at the same time as B-52. B-52 originally didn't have inter-continental range either. with only about 8500km range for both. USA at the time had all the best scientists from Europe and all the trophy aerodynamic materials from Germany. Tu-160 was built in 70s. No 3M/M-4 bombers are in service today.

It looks more like the B-47 than the B-52.

@redneck10ivan I liked Khrushchev, he had so much spirit.
And he wasn't the mass murderer Stalin was... I think.
I've always liked these old Soviet planes also.
This one may not have done what they wanted it to,
but it was a beautiful plane.
Russians still make many of the best.
But I really love the ones from the Cold War era.

@DaddyOD13 Stalin sadist and Khrushchev was a capitalist, was the most normal Andropov, Gorbachev was a Mason.

@redneck10ivan I didn't know that about Khrushchev & Gorbachev.
I remember Yuri Andropov didn't live long as Premier. Yes I'm that old.

Were those prototypes of TU-160? They look really strange, are they still on duty?
