Four Tu-160M strategic missile carriers will join the Russian strategic aviation forces next year, and the "Knyaz Pozharsky" submarine will join the Navy.
Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov noted that in 2025, Russia will continue to rearm the Strategic Missile Forces with the Yars missile system.
We will accept four Tu-160M strategic missile carriers into the aviation strategic forces. We will ensure the inclusion of the Knyaz Pozharsky strategic missile submarine into the Navy.
The Tu-160M received NK-32-02 engines, avionics, and updated onboard radio-electronic equipment, including the Novella NV1.70 multi-mode and jam-resistant airborne radar from JSC Zaslon, the Himalayas multi-band electronic warfare system, the Redut-70M onboard defense system, and the NO-70M navigation system.
Due to the elegance of its shape and the white reflective coating designed to protect the aircraft from the light radiation of nuclear explosions, the machine received the unofficial name "White Swan."
Earlier www1.ru reported that the latest Yarl body armor was handed over to Russian sappers, and they passed all resistance tests.
