A former pilot and author of the Fighterbomber Telegram channel showed what the toilet of a strategic bomber looks like. Presumably, the photo was taken in the Tu-160 "White Swan".
The photo shows a compact but neat sanitary compartment — a simple, functional cabin designed for the basic needs of the crew during long flights.
An ordinary detail for civilians, for military aviation it is an important element of the crew's comfortable work on shift flights. The Tu-160 performs long missions, and even basic household infrastructure affects the combat readiness and working conditions of pilots and technicians.
The publication aroused lively interest among users — from jokes about "luxury class for strategists" to discussions of the ergonomics and layout of the internal compartments of large military air platforms.
The photo remains a pleasant touch, showing that behind the silent appearance of the "strategist" lies the usual human everyday life.
Earlier, www1.ru already reported on how toilets are arranged in combat aviation.
