The modernized Tu-160M strategic missile carrier received modernized NK-32-02 engines and navigation systems, according to military expert Yevgeny Damantsev.
The aircraft is equipped with a multi-mode and more jam-resistant Novella NV1-70 airborne radar complex (RLK), a multi-band electronic warfare (EW) system "Himalayas", an onboard defense complex (BKO) "Redut-70M" and a navigation system NO-70M.
The Tu-160M received a secure communication system S-505-70, an autopilot ABSU-200MT, a strapdown inertial navigation system BINS-SP-1, an astro-navigation system ANS-2009M and a radio navigation receiver A737DP.
The new engines provide an increase in the maximum flight speed of the vehicle at altitudes of 10,500-12,500 m from 2,200 to 2,400 km/h. The new BINS-SP-1 with the ANS-2009M astro-navigation system provides minimal route deviations even in conditions of active radio countermeasures from the enemy in radio navigation ranges, in the range from 1200 to 1700 MHz.
He specified that the Novella airborne radar with terrain mapping mode and radio altimeter allows flight at altitudes of 50-75 m in terrain following mode and overcoming enemy anti-missile defense (ABM) systems, hiding from the radiation patterns of ground-based radars of the enemy.
Also, the NV1-70 radar is capable of operating in synthetic aperture mode, classifying large radio-contrast ground targets at a distance of up to 200-150 m, depending on the interference environment.
Also, the multi-band electronic warfare system "Himalayas" is able to effectively aim frequency and spectrum noise interference at the receiving paths of airborne radars and ground-based multi-functional radars of the enemy.
The main range of weapons remained the same - Kh-101/102 strategic cruise missiles and promising Kh-50 long-range cruise missiles, placed on MKU-6-5U revolver catapult launchers.
