Russian scientists are working on a new advanced long-range aircraft family, which will replace Tu-160, Tu-95MS and Tu-22M3.
New aircrafts will replace both long-range and strategic bomber aircrafts. Engineers have a strong intention to use stealth technology in their new developments, though new advanced aircraft won’t be totally invisible.
In Russian stealth technology was first time used on Tu-160 and included new composite materials, deflecting reflection angles of radar beams and effective reflecting surface. However, this project wasn’t finished due to collapse of the Soviet Union.
