Upgraded Tu-160 Mounts Combat Guard
The new upgraded Tu-160 strategic bomber of the RF Air Force sets to combat duty Wednesday, said Alexander Blazhenko, who commands the 121st Heavy Bomber Air Division.
“I’m sure that, in the division, this plane will turn into a powerful weapon on guard of the might and defense capacity of the country,” Blazhenko said.
“Hardly a week will pass and it will be on combat patrol in all regions of the Earth,” said Lieutenant-General Igor Khvorov, who is the chief of the RF Air Force Staff.
