Indian Air Force Considers TU-160 To Counter Chinese Bomber H-6

[Yaseen1]

u.s dollar is used for import and export internationally and also for lending money by imf to various nation as well as a foreign reserve currency

I think about 20. Whatever the cost I guess they print the money to buy it. Sure it'll cause inflation but no one gives a damn about that.



These carry Kh-101 cruise missile range 4000 km. Only strategic bombers can carry long range cruise missiles.



US dollar is only used in the US. Every country other than the US uses its own currency. Here in Canada for example we use Canadian dollar, not US dollar.

Err no. Bombers can only be used when air force has air superiority over a region or has to travel long to make a bombing. There is no requirement for a bomber from IAF. So how's this news?

This news is most likely fake. India has to fill up her falling squadron numbers first.

Correct.....

You need very powerful airforce who can successfully escort such a big bomber and deliver a deadly ordanance on the enemy soil and targets which is impossible for India with its current very weak airforce struggling to keep up with the numbers....

Against something like China it's next to impossible....

Most of our budget is being eaten up by salaries, pension, solider welfare programs and then no money for modernization or procurement..... hence sad condition today....

You don't need a strategic bombers to lob long range cruise missiles at a country that is next door.

Waste of money, Rather focus on the icbm

This is entirely possible. India is in need of a strategic bomber. Russia does not want to sell the Tu-160, but at the moment, Russia desperately needs money. If India spends 30-50 billion dollars, Russians will sell TU-160 and TOT to India (excluding NK-32 engines)

30-50, thats our full budget

we really dont need, pakistan and china is just next door.

 

[Crystal-Clear]

Now I have this mental image of H-6 and Tu-160 dog fighting each other....

it will be like 2 lazy saint Bernard fighting .

It's no use to India, China and Pakistan are right on your doorstep.Strategic bombers are not India's current requirement.

Currently, India does not need strategic bombers but the future is different. If India replaced China and became the new superpower, it would be considered the No. 1 enemy by the United States, like the former Soviet Union and China. India needs a strategic bomber such as the TU-160 to be able to attack the United States, British, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Australia

TU-160 will be a nightmare for the US. It is an ace that helps India deter provocative acts of the United States and its allies in the future

you HIT the point
The United States inherited all British foreign policy.Unite with other countries on the European continent and attack the most powerful country on the European continent.He will attack whoever is the second most powerful country.When Germany became strong, he allied himself with France and other countries to fight Germany.When France was strong, he allied himself with other countries to make an alliance against France.
It's the same strategy in the United States, from the Soviet Union and Japan all the way to China.

The Indian Air Force needs a strategic bomber such as the Russian TU-160 to counter a growing fleet of Chinese bombers. The Russian supersonic bomber Tu-160, also known as the White Swan, is the most powerful and largest missile carrier in the world.

The Tupolev TU-160 White Swan is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing heavy strategic bomber designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau in the Soviet Union in the 1970s. It is the largest and heaviest Mach 2+ supersonic military aircraft ever built and second only to the XB-70 Valkyrie in overall length. It is the largest and heaviest combat aircraft, the fastest bomber now in use and the largest and heaviest variable-sweep wing airplane ever flown.

Entering service in 1987, the TU-160 was the last strategic bomber designed for the Soviet Union. As of 2016, at least 16 aircraft are in service in the long-range aviation arm of the Russian Air Force. [4] Since the early 2000s, the Tu-180 is being upgraded to active fleet electronics systems. The Tu-160M modernization program has begun with the first updated aircraft delivered in December 2014.


The Tu-160 is a variable-geometry wing aircraft. The aircraft employs a fly-by-wire control system with a mixed wing profile, and full-span slats are used on the major sides, with double-slated flaps on the rear edges and cruciform tails. The T-160 has a crew of four (Pilot, Co-Pilot, Bombardier, and Defensive System Operator) in K-36LM ejection seats.

The TU-60 is powered by four Kuznetsov NK-32 powered turbofan engines, the most powerful for a fighter aircraft. Unlike the American B-1B Lancer, which reduced the original Mach 2+ requirement for the B-1A to achieve shorter radar cross-sections, the TU-160 retains variable intake ramps and is capable of reaching Mach 2.05 speed at altitude. The TU-160 is equipped with a probe-and-drogue in-flight refueling system for extended-range missions,

These are not Jets which are going to have Air to Air battle. For love of GOD there is countering here it's all about what is your overall strategy and aim and end goal

Since when government of India started printing US dollars?

Its just usual Indian mental masturbation, Russia will never sell such strategic weapons to India which will cause issues at strategic level for Pakistan, and more importantly, to China.
