willedoo Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Recent developments in Russian defense planning make this video possibly a bit outdated. The video was made a while ago & plans were recently announced to develop a long range strategic stealth bomber by 2025. Other recent plans to prioritize development of strategic nuclear forces have led to talk of modernizing the blackjacks & bringing them back into service as a strategic nuclear bomber.
