[cnleio]

Fake news, nothing to discuss here.

^^ Yeah, even that China imported Kilo SSKs, Soverenmy warships, Su-27 fighters & AL-31 engines was fake news.

Learnt nothing even after re-painting Tupolev Tu-16 as Xian H-6??

now looking to paint Tu-22 as indigenous H-10.

 

[Sasquatch]

Most likely fake I have the original article in Chinese that the western websites quoted and it is from 2010, and noting has happened since.

Air Power Australia predicted something like this will happen.

They were right.

Waiting for official sources

APA? Seriously?

No need to win US, win VN is OK

OK, but deal with the US ?

I don't think Russia will sell Tu-22M3 best variant for China, but if they get Tu-22m or M2 is more than enough to hegemonic China South Sea.Tu-22M2 PLANAF (because surely payroll on the Chinese Navy Air Force) with Kh-22M (600 km) or YJ-85 (500 km) + escort fleet KJ-2000 (AEW), the J-11B/15 (superiority), Y-8/JH-7E (electronic noise jamming) compared to U.S. Naval Air Forces E-3/8, FA-18E, EA-18G, B1B...Who will win?

It's obviously fake. These baseless rumors I've read for several years, but they are not supported by any serious sources.

For example, it's topic from this forum:
12-26-2010

China to start production of Tu-22M3 bombers'
China has decided to start production of their own indigenous version of the Tu-22M3 bomber under a 1.5 billion dollar agreement with Russia. A total of 36 planes will be produced, which will use extensive Chinese design and technology. The first batch will be produced in 2011.

If China acquired Tu-22 blueprints or not, China will eventually need something to replace the H-6, most likely we will follow J-20 and J-31 path which to leapfrog some outday concept such swing wing and make the bomber steathier, I guess we can use US B-2 as concept foundation to initialize and tailor our bomber configuration.

 

[帅的一匹]

Maybe a fake news, we have our own design.

 

[airomerix]

Any new development?

 

[Navigator]

Any new development?

No. This is a fake news.
I doubt that we have in Russia kept the production line for the Tu-22M at the Kazan Aircraft Production Association. These planes are not produced since the early 1990s.

 

[airomerix]

Such topics should be closed asap.

[for truth]

MOSCOW, January 24. / ITAR-TASS /. In the "Rosoboronexport" denied the information of several Russian media and unofficial Chinese websites about the alleged upcoming Russia supply China 36 long-range bombers Tu-22M3.

"Rosoboronexport" does not have any information about the discussion of this subject the two sides, "- told Itar-Tass Corporation spokesman Vyacheslav Davidenko.

"There are no negotiations on this issue with China has taken place and there is no," - he stressed.
"This comment is made in exceptional cases - said Davidenko. -" Rosoboronexport "strictly follows the practice to comment on posts only official sources of information, to what these sites do not include the Chinese."

Another source in the "Rosoboronexport" on condition of anonymity told Itar-Tass that the common non-official Chinese website about the upcoming supply China 36 Tu-22M3 "is pure newspaper duck." "Someone crook desperate to wishful thinking," - said the source. "Meanwhile, the supply of Tu-22M3 foreign countries are in principle impossible, because these aircraft are a strategic weapon," - he said.

Good for China, bombers are cold war era

Personally I don't think PLAAF need Tu22-M3.
Very old, and it is not a stealth one.
