Putin flies Russian supersonic nuclear bomber in Kazan

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday (February 22) that the modernised TU-160M nuclear-capable strategic bomber can be accepted into the air force.

After a flight on one of the aircraft, Putin said the TU-160M is "reliable"

Putin took a flight on of the bombers earlier on Thursday, taking off from an aerodrome in Kazan.

Putin dont need pilots to drop the missiles on nato. He can fly the missiles himself

[Fibonacci-seq]

even the plane is scared from making a mistake when Putin is in the cockpit

It does not say that after the flight, Putin got behind the wheel of a heavy-duty KamAZ car near Kazan and drove it!!!!

[Aditya-fqwk]

He didn't needed to say *its Reliable*
When he sit there I Allready knew its reliable

Whatever you think of Russia, Putin, or this plane's actual capabilities, that is one beautiful aircraft.

The news says oh he's getting old he has Parkinson, he's weak blah, blah, blah then he goes around flying around a supersonic nuclear bomber.

He can also ride a russian bear shirtless while shooting RPGs

[brocscogmyre]

So he's a martial arts black belt, he swims in ice cold water, he puts wreaths on graves in heavy rain without an umbrella and now we find out he's also a pilot. The man's an absolute legend!!

We call this airplane the White Swan because it is a really elegant machine, a miracle of Soviet engineering. I am glad to see that its updated version is back in production. Vivat!

[elenadiaz]

Everybody is gawking at Putin ignoring the beauty of that plane. So sleek and elegant, a true deadly beauty!

[KratosUmar]

Putin making sure he can deliver the nuke himself.

[susandouglas]

I read the other day that he co piloted the plane, and he is a very accomplished and capable man.
You don't have to be called a 'Putin apologist ' to recognise that fact!!
