The bomb compartment of the Tu-160 "White Swan" strategic missile carrier will receive the latest missile, which has no analogues today in any country in the world.
This rocket is being built in complete secrecy. The technologies for its development and production are not disclosed at the moment. However, experts believe that the basis for a new type of weapon will be Zircon hypersonic missiles capable of accelerating to Mach 9 or 11 thousand kilometers per hour.
In addition, the next modernization of the Tu-160 implies the installation of the latest electronics, controlled by artificial intelligence. The American media have already noted the efforts of the Russian designers and said that the upgrades of the bomber make it a "doomsday plane."
Recall that the day before the Russia-US summit in Geneva, publications appeared in the United States about the appearance of the Tu-160 near the Hawaiian Islands in the Pacific Ocean. The US Air Force even sent its F-22 fighter to intercept, but the bomber managed to return to its place of permanent deployment even before its appearance.
