  • It was the most expensive project in the USSR after the Buran, of course (in the aerospace industry)

  • seems to be few people on YouTube, they know when it was conceived by the T-4, since I write such stupid comments.

    first, already in the year 64 was built full-size wooden model for aerodynamic testing.

    secondly the Tu-144 was developed from the T-4, just got off the ground first. Therefore, once the talk of copies, say, T-4 with Concorde is not with the T-144.

    By the way this tail and nose with a variable geometry, first appeared on T-4

  • Just a crap copy of the MIGHTY VALQUERIE...

  • @ the start looks like a concorde

  • It's amazing how the USSR seem to always have close copies of U.S. military aircraft.

  • @jay55also Please explain. Because this plane is not alike anything. Only TU-144 is clouse. Baut there is a reason. The T-4 and Tu-144 are sisters in a way. Developed one out of the other. :)

  • @Modellpecs The Tu-144 was obviously a copy of XB-70 that flew 4 years before the Tu's first flight.

  • @442hoeky :D Not even the size is the same.... :D

  • @jay55also Самолёт не может быть квадратным. Если у него есть крылья для сверхзвукового полёта - это не есть копия. Это вынужденная форма, а не дизайн автомобиля.

  • @izchicago Uuuuhm... Ukraine was part of the USSR. In fact, it was one of the founding republics.

  • It looks strikingly similar to the XB-70 Valkyrie.

  • @planeguy141 take XB-70, divide by 2, equals T-4

  • That's pretty cool!

  • b-70 to t-4: "quit biting, nigga!"

  • @zzerDrezz I was sarcastic

  • baby conkordski

  • Actually it was never going to be used as a bomber, but as a interceptor fighter aircraft.

  • all the russians can do is copy everything the americans put out

  • @ranzelrob Yes. Like the Foxbat. Or the Mig 29..or the Mig 15.... Actually, you dont understand anything your commenting on do you? Your just typing uninformed unscholored opinion as fast as the magical ideas hit your synapses

  • @ranzelrob LOL! really? or the other way around?

  • Balalaika v vozduhe!!! :)

  • @jericoparazo

    Correction: The ak47 was a total copy of the german stg-44 just so you know it :)

  • @gwsoldier1 just the outside similar. The AK-47 and the STG44 has totally different firing mechanism, the AK's built up is similar to the M1 Garand (gas-ram), but could be fully automatic, the STG44 is more like the FN FAL, it's gas-surpressed operated. And as well the AK-47 is the most reliable assault rifle ever made, well the STG was... unreliable, hard to produce (compare to AK or AKM) and heavy. But as well it was the first true assault rifle, so it had some children's illness.

  • @gwsoldier1 the AK-47 was INSPIRED by the STG-44, it was not a copy.

  • Nasa spent millions developing a pen that would write in space. The Russians sent pencils. You decide who had more sence.

  • @supressorgrid HAHAH they have too much money to spent that's why...they think that they have unlimited amount of money even today...that is why they are fighting multiple wars and have 1000 of bases across the world. Now they are in debt, and their people are hungry and pissed off. The fall of an arrogant empire..

  • @supressorgrid Your last word should be cents ;}

  • @supressorgrid - AAOOOGAH! AAOOOGAH!

    URBAN LEGEND ALERT! URBAN LEGEND ALERT!

  • @JBofBrisbane this one happens to be true. Thirty years ago they ran tv ads about it.

  • @JBofBrisbane As a matter of fact it was called the Fisher Space pen if I aint mistaken.

  • in soviet russia plane fly you!

  • @jericoparazo That's really not much. If it wasn't for the Bolsheviks there would have been much more.

  • Ah... Russians and their carbon copies... I mean, they're cheaper, and built with less... safety in mind... but they really didn't come up with anything major on their own, did they?

  • @IIKiboshII

    If you're american you should thank you holy trousers that your helicopters were built by a ukrainian emigrant (sikorski) you rockets were built by germans (Braun) and your chemicals were designed by german chemists brought in under operation paperclip and most of the brilliant minds on the Manhattan project were Europeans that fled Nazism....

  • @52111centrumcz Сикорский, по вашему, "ukrainian emigrant"? А ведь за такие слова он как великорос, сторонник единой России и даже в какой-то момент монархист, вам бы мог и в морду двинуть.

    Предшественники ваших "украинцев" (петлюровцы) для него были грязным отребъем, ломанувшимся в смутное время из загаженных галицийских деревень в его родной великорусский город Киев.

    Ну и, естественно, эмигрировал он из Питера, где работал и создавал свои знаменитые бомбардировщики.

  • @perlghost

    nope. CZ

  • @IIKiboshII Actually, the Tu-144 IMPROVED upon the Concorde design. It was only because of the crash at the Paris Airshow that the plane never really made it... and that crash was caused by a French plane that was sent up to get close up pictures of the Tu-144. The French plane had a near-collision with the Tu-144, which was already in a precious maneuver. The pilot of the Tu-144 lost control when trying to avoid the collision.

  • @planeguy141 So that´s why the soviets asked the french for technical assistance in 1978? Because the TU-144 was better. Is was a flawed half finished design at best, pressed into service to fast, with highly insufficient and unreliable engines. During it´s short service lift, the TU-144 suffered two crashes, and there was no French around the second time to blame it on. It also suffered countles technical problems and inflight failures. Some improvement indeed.

  • @schr75 Since when did they ask the French for technical assistance?

  • @cwjian90 In 1977 they asked Lucas industries for help to redesign the engine management systems., and BAC-Aerospatiales for help with the air intake design. In 1978 they also asked the British for help to solve a host of other problems. The request was denied by the Brits, by the way.

  • @planeguy141 Are you having a laugh!! Improved on Concorde. Have a look at there in service performance. If you book a flight on aTU-144, you probably wouldn't get there!!!

    The ruskies stole the data for concorde from the useless french, and then stiil couldn't build a decent aircraft!!!

  • I don't get what the points of saying which plane was first? Back then all the similar planes had same engineering solution to the problem. You can't defy laws of physics and make supersonic jet which will look different especially during times when technology was not advanced as today.

  • Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. ;-)

  • it looks as if they duped it from XB-70

  • no lo conocia,buena filmacion!

  • @ShaitanBabai The Valkyrie was an excellent plane. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it.

  • As usual, a Russian copy of an American plane.

  • @Capt777harris  Как обычно что то ляпнул малограмотный америкос

  • @MaksimovLugansk Which doesn't negate the fact that it's a copy of the American XB-70 Valkyrie.

    Asshole.

  • @Capt777harris Но ты не расстраивайся. ))

  • @Capt777harris How could it be a copy? It is totally different.....

  • @Capt777harris T-4 is not "copy of XB-70" in any way. They just share some common ideas, which have, though, very different implementation. Just compare the table characteristics. It's much better way to make conclusions than to blindly believe in the trash you have read in the wall of unknown WC.

    The only true statements is that XB-70 is of bit early design.

  • @perlghost No, it's a copy right down to the intake, the canted cockpit, exhaust and fuselage. The only thing different is that it doesn't use the twin tail configuration.

  • @Capt777harris Sure... :D

  • @Modellpecs Meaning what? Are you trying to be sarcastic? This piece of shit Russian plane never achieved anything.

  • Comment removed

  • @Capt777harris In a way... Yes. Also, as it was a prototype, and it did fly, so it did achieved a lot. It was made to fly M3, but the project was canceled in favour of MIG-23. Also ballistic missiles appeared, so it was not needed as a bomber anymore. Another important result of this plane is TU-144 itself! Another thig is; Please put a picture of XB-70 (that project was abandoned also) next to a picture of the T-4. Do you really think that it was a copy? :D This is what i ment when i wrote....

  • @Modellpecs You're full of shit. Just look at the physical appearance you commie fuck.

  • @Capt777harris :D I have fears for you. Be careful pls. Don't eat the bowling ball!!! It is not a melon! :D :D :D

  • @Modellpecs it's A COPY from the FUTURE with a time machine.... which was also copied

  • @VVUULDTUURRM :D Did not know that.... :D

  • @Modellpecs YES! the XB-70 looks virtually identical excluding the design of the wing tips.

  • @hotpocketpoison Ok It is just like XB-70. Exept the entire concept, canards, engines, their placement, the wings, the tail, the flight systems, materials used, structure, and all the rest.... :D

  • @Modellpecs the ONLY difference between the T-4 and the XB-70 is the size of the canards and the fact that the XB-70 has 2 vertical stabilizers. OF CORSE the materials and engines will be different, the fact remains that the T-4 is nearly a carbon copy of the XB-70.

  • @hotpocketpoison Yeah just like an apple and a stone.... :D Do you hear yourselfe? The 2 vertical stabilisers? Yeah... And a few more engines... etc... Who cares....? :D

  • @hotpocketpoison Compare the wings. Compare the nose. If you have eyes, of course.

    There is _nothing_ in common except... but you have no need in subtleties, with such simplicity.

  • @perlghost WHAT are you talking about??? EVERYTHING IS IN COMMON! the variable nose cone, the canard placement, the delta wing body, the placement of the engines, they even serve the same role EVERYTHING IS THE SAME! there may be slight and i mean SLIGHT differences in the shape and size of certain parts but the overall design is nearly identical.

  • @hotpocketpoison Oh dear... Every bird flyes. Once there was onley one. Than birds started to copy each other... :D Nose? Only Stoka had variable nose. The canard is positioned here because it have to be there. It is aerodynamics... The wing is a simple triangle on xb. The winglets angle can be changed. Stoka did not have this. Also a few more engine and tail on xb... :D The body? Yeah like fire and water.... :D To see this, you don't have to be an engineer...

  • @Modellpecs Yes I do.

  • Comment removed

  • @Modellpecs the project was canceled in favour of TU-160 - slower craft, with less altitude and fly range.

  • @Jenbwb Th T4 first flew in 1972. TU-160 came almost 10 years later, in 1981. But it only entered service in 1987!

    The TU-160 really had a ancestor. It is called TU-144.

  • Comment removed

  • @Capt777harris It would be very nice if you at least compared the pictures before making statements.

  • @perlghost I did. The only real difference is the Valkyrie uses a twin tail configuration, another American innovation.

  • @Capt777harris Are you kidding?

  • @Modellpecs Kidding about what?  At least tell me what you're talking about.

  • great footage!!!!! which came 1st? XB-70 or T-4?????

  • THE XB-70 was AWESOME! T-4 Clone!  Never knew that!

  • @bestinsigns

    go in school, troll

  • Looks like XB-70

  • @alongthebluff I think it looks far more like concord tbh, the adjustable nose in particular....

  • @migstrike You mean Tu-144. ;)

  • Rare and great shot.big fail of soviet aircraft technology.made of titanium,expensive than gold and finally crash and musium!!!

  • old mig 21 in background what a monster that was...

  • The funny thing is that, by "heavy", they mean it weighs a lot not that it is a big bomber. Fly like a rock.

  • Minimum of 10 years difference time difference between the two aircraft.

    Pardon the expression, ;-) ..but the B-70 was "light years ahead" of the T-4 in development era's. Late 1950's for the B-70, late 1960's for the T-4

    I find it interesting that the Soviets used the #4 for another copy of an American bomber...the Tupelov Tu-4 copy of the B-29 bomber.

  • @rampking1 The Tu-160 was designed in the 1950's and was released 1967.Unlike the B-70, the Tu-144 was not cancelled.The T-4 was harnessing the same technology as the B-70,until the Soviets thought it sucked.The Tu-4 is indeed a copy of the B-29.This is because US didnt want to supply the Russians with them.They liked the airplane so they built their own B-29(who could blame them?).But it was never used and Tu-16's replaced them.

  • @999cheetos999 The TU-160... you mean the TU-95, the TU-160 is a supersonic bomber kinda like the TU-22M and B1B Lancer.

  • @scarface8999 Oh wrong info...Tu-160 was planned at the 1950's and they started research (in conjunction with Tu-144 charger and M-18)...Tu-160 first production was in 1975

  • @999cheetos999 ( en.wikipedia. Tupolev_Tu-160 )

  • B-70 with Red stars...end of story.

  • @rampking1 or is the B-70 a T-4 with a withe star ???

  • Cool plane, first with fly-by-wire. now its resting in a museum in Moscow.

  • The funny thing is the copycat plane is always released like 10-20yrs after the original was in service, as if the outdated hunk of Russian scrap can compete with the new stuff. It's also funny how commy sympathizers say "oh it's because form follows function." In the Russians case, outdated design follows thieving crime.

  • Why the hell is it that when I watch videos of American military planes, somehow I end up on a video of a random Russian plane, AND ITS A SIMILAR EFFIN DESIGN! Sheesh Are the Russians so inept that they need to copy designs instead of creating them? Seriously it's getting kind of annoying.

  • Т-4 "сотка" --- красавец!!!

  • @Bunker161 Just like Your's Mum.

  • @piesior Ha Ha it,s so funny.... O, I forgot you belong to western civilization - that,s why i,m not surprise to your stupid joke... Is that Britain,s soldiers were crying in Iran,s prison?! P.S. Say hello to Berezovskiy...

  • @Bunker161 I'm in Britain now,but.I'm Polish.You know : Kura nie ptica,polsza nie zagranica.

  • eto xuyna

  • This plane was 5x times more advanced than that Valkyrie garbage. First fly-by-wire in the World, futuristic materials. No wonder XB-70 was cancelled.

    That reminds me of when Reagan cancelled US ASAT program after one "successful" test (USSR succeeded earier ofcourse), only for Clinton to restart the "successful" program in 1997. Why? Because yanks failed dismally, Soviet space tracking saw nothing happening in orbit. So Congress "banned space weaponry cause its baaaaad", hahahahaha!!!

  • @SovietWarrior The B-70 flew, achieved mach3 (something the T 4 NEVER achieved), crashed and was cancelled long before this piece of soviet crap even took off.

  • @scoobytopdog /politely/ The crap is in your head, baby. It's pity you hadn't lost that head in the mentioned crash of XB-70, so we didn't need to see as that shit is drifted through the stupid mouth and to the stupid comments.

  • @perlghost Okay SHITHEAD. What part of my comment are you disputing? What facts stated are incorrect?

    Please let use all know so we can all have a fucking good laugh at you.

  • @scoobytopdog You really thought that you have some "facts" in your comments? Unbelievable. There are only wrong/incorrect/stupid/offensi­ve statements.

  • Comment removed

  • @scoobytopdog Yeah, leave it to the Ruskies to know jack shit about original R&D.

  • Soviet Leadership decided to equip FA and PVO with the MiG-23...it was too expensive to produce both mig-23 and T-4...

  • Valkyrie Xb 71? Is that it?

  • '

    ohh nooo,,,

    why ussr russia is always copy steal from america super plane,,,

    that is why ussr russia is a BIG cheat evil empire country

  • Русское ЧУДО!! Скорость 3200 км/ч! Хрен какой истрибитель догонит!

  • Cool, 'the Red B-70'!

  • Россия является ставка Te

  • Beautiful footage. This was a very exciting era in aviation. We saw the ultimate evolution of the delta wing in aircraft such as the XB-70, Concorde, Tu-144 and the T-4. Amazing to think they were all designed with sliderules and pure human genius. Nowadays, with the use of computers, designers not only KNOW their aircraft will fly but also many of the fly characteristics before they ever reach mockup.

  • @TV843 Naaaah VULCAN :D

  • @korodore Won't argue with you there, Bro! The Vulcan was a beautiful machine. Speaking of Brit planes, let's not forget the Handley-Page-Victor. That thing is bizarre looking and beautiful at the same time. It always reminded me of a huge X-1 with those cockpit window frames and the sleek 50 cal bullet shape.

  • @TV843 The Victor... oh SNAP YEAH. You win. Those British used to make awesome planes. The Harrier, Lynx and (ok not strictly Brit) Jaguar and Tornado... Concorde... HOTOL..? all works of engineering art. Shame they're so screwed these days, and even then wanting to put cash into Trident rather than some NEEDED military equipment, but I digress :D

  • @korodore if you want an amazing british jet, look at the English Electric Lightning, a short range, high speed fighter. Look it up in Wiki, you'll have a new pet jet.

  • @TV843

    Yeah these aircraft I THINK were the absolute pinnacle of badassness. What do we have of this magnitude of badassness now?

    *Badassness= Huge and fast as hell, and badass looking

  • @TripleZ89 Amen, Bro... This was when aircraft looked like bullets. They looked fast sitting still. I once heard someone say, with all of the electronic flight control software we have nowadays, you could make a brick fly stable. This is a good thing, but unfortunately it's made for some ugly/uninteresting aircraft. Back when the Sotka/B-70/Tu-144 and such came around, stability depended more on the shape of the aircraft. Thus, we had these long, sleek, gorgeous arrow-like aircraft.

  • @TV843 but they still manage to produce crap...

  • The best bomber for its time.

    Project was closed to allow Tupolev Bureau make it's own project.

    Unfortunately...

  • at least when russia steals, they make it look good, tell that to china when they copy cars from europe/america!

  • @ahbahpuh and this play was copied from?

  • @SovietBear91 it was coped from some holywood movie, it's obvious!

  • Ciekawe kto od kogo "zmałpował" rosjanie

    od amerykanów czy odwrotnie!

  • boris reporting!

  • rofl

  • wow so rare footage amazing 5/5!

  • Looking at this some comparisons with the Vulcan, and particularly the prototypes could be drawn (in that I'm comparing them as supersonic bombers.) To all those commenting on the lack of bomb bays or attachment points, read the description. It was a prototype. A proof of concept. You don't have to arm them out for that, just show that the design flies the way its supposed to...

  • valkyrie is a german name

  • the US XB-70 was suppose to be the first stealth bomber US wants to test. although its program was scrapped after a disastrous flight test that blew the experimental bomber along with another escort it was meant to be a stealth bomber.

  • The XB-70 was not close to a stealth bomber. 6 engines + giant rectangular air intakes = giant radar and IR signature. Rather, the XB-70 was supposed to be the first "untouchable" bomber, so that all air defenses would be successfully evaded by flying so high and fast that they couldn't stop it.

  • @ganarzon . The destruction was due do a chase plane colliding with the XB-70. Its believed the it came to close and was flipped over by air currents from the XB-70. The deployment of ICBM's meant the XB-70 was superfluous and only useful for research into high speed technology. Production was canceled before the crash.Stealth technology was a long way off when the XB-70 program was canceled. The later B-1 was the first large aircraft to deliberately incorporate stealth ideas.

  • @evilfish456 U R a twatt compairing a passengerplane with a military bomber!look at the underside of this T-4 (or Tu-144) and you'll see there is simply NO PLACE for the bombcompartimentdoors!

  • heavy bomber ?! tell me where would you attach/place the bombs/rocket racks on this kinda

    "let's call it NOT the Tupolev 144 Concordski".

    this aircraft is just a propaganda machine but obsolete from the start of the military project.

  • Money spent for this machine ,it is possible to buy Belgium.

  • Same place where the us B2 bomber has the bombs, idiot.

  • this jet was the try to test new technologies just the same as xb70 but its history was not so disatrous

  • that's a XB-70 valkyrie!

  • bottom line... both countries are in absolute Financial Ruin... but the 2 morons are still bragging about technology... hahahahaha... nice trophy

  • Must have been USSR's answer to the US's Valkyrie. Looks about the same.

  • they had the quickest post service in the world ...

  • I just don't understand why the US and Russia just can't get over their issues. US flew a B2 spy plane over their territory, Russian's stole US nuclear information and eventually sold it to everyone(thanks Russia) but that was years ago, I don't understand why they wouldn't want to work together on more issues than space.

  • the list is endless...

  • only minus 2 ...

  • o dear it seams we have forgotten own history .you must of heard of the industry revolution which started in GREAT BRITIAN ...

  • everything

  • russia invented this plane before the americans or anyone else could draw up some plans

  • um sir the XB-70 was invented before the T-4. The T-4 was the response to the XB-70 like the MiG-25 Foxbat
