@kakas10000 The TU-160's first flight was December 18th, 1981 while the Rockwell B-1 Lancer's first flight was on December 23rd, 1974. So what you just said is the Russian design was first. Don't let national pride blind you my friend. Its ok, the u.s. army copied the russian army bridging designs for river crossings. everyone copies each other. But to make one point clear the B-1 lancer WAS the original design. The TU-160 is larger too in almost every dimension.

@Rimasta Tu-2 was indeed a copy (exact copy) Tu-160 was designed before B1 so its kinda hard to be a copy unless russians have a time machine...

@Rimasta1 The laws of aerodynamic are the same in Ukraine :)

@Rimasta1 The thing is, the Russian ones almost always turn out better... and if they copy them, what about the AN-225?

[Rimasta1]

@SlavaSvarogu loos at the russian Tu-2, this aircraft, or especially the Tu-160 blackjack. both sides copy eachopther its ok to swallow ones pride. the u.s. army copied russian tactical bridging designs because it works. sure their are going to be differences but your going to say no one stopped during the creation and said ive seen this plane somewhere before?

@Rimasta1
