Russia will “eventually” produce 50 more Tu-160M swing-wing intercontinental supersonic bombers, said Russian air force commander Gen. Victor Bondarev. “The supreme commander and the defense minister have made the decision to restart production,” he continued. Speaking to the media, Bondarev said that 50 is the number required to justify the expense of reviving the line.
His remarks follow those of defense minister Gen. Sergei Shoigu during his recent inspection of the Kazan Aircraft Production Organization (KAPO).
