Capable of crossing entire oceans, evading enemy defenses, and striking targets with precision, bombers are among the most powerful and enduring weapons in modern warfare. Now, imagine a bomber so massive it can carry enough explosive payloads to devastate everything on the ground. Meet the Tupolev Tu-160 Blackjack, the largest and heaviest bomber ever built.

A sleek, winged silhouette streaks across the frame, bathed in the harsh glare of afterburners. It's the Blackjack, moving with an almost unnatural grace for something its size.

Known as the Blackjack by NATO and the "White Swan" by Russian pilots, the Tu-160 is a Soviet and Russian supersonic strategic bomber with variable-sweep wings. Its name, White Swan, comes from its typical white paint, giving it a graceful and elegant appearance reminiscent of a swan in flight.

    The T160s might be able to carry FAB-9000 WITH GLIDE KIT.

    As South Africans we were privileged to witness the White Swan live when this Russian Beast with Beauty visited our country early 2023.

    The White Swan. As I child, I called her by her NATO name..."Blackjack". No more. RU has earned the respect that all it's war machines be called by their proper Russian names...

    God bless the good people of Russia and may the White Swan never be used in anger again, once things are wrapped up in warmongering Neocon run Zelenskyland.
