He actually flew with it. It was in the news everywhere.

In other news, the UK almost nuked Florida. "Plop" they said😂

This week the “Games of the Future” tournament started in Kazan - large-scale competitions in various types of physical sports that combine real competitions with computer simulation. More than 100 countries will take part in the “Games of the Future” in Kazan, including the USA, Great Britain, Germany, China, South Korea, Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil and others. Attempts to isolate Russia have failed.

Look at those beautiful babies! Always thought the Tu-160 "Blackjack" was a beautiful bird back in 1988 when Tom Clancy first wrote about it in his spy thriller novels. Only had a few pictures of it then, and no one in the West really knew its capabilities. The crazy thing is over 30 years later, the United States still does not have a strategic bomber capable of Mach 2 (and the UK doesn't even have a single bomber at all!). After Russia's performance the past two years, I no longer call any of their equipment by the NATO names I knew growing up. Russia has earned the right for its war machines to be called by their proper Russian names. The "White Swan" is all this plane will ever be to me from now on.

Probably making sure the "no smoking" signs are on it.

Russians should love Putin from the heart. Because he is doing everything to save the country and most of the world respects him. When Putin goes to the land of no return, Russia will understand what Putin was. God forbid it. He is a true patriot great man.

I heard they are working on a new stealth strategic bomber called Pak Da

[viscerone]

Onestly despite all we.must admit the TU160 swan is the most beautiful olane on earth

[yknctfo]

Send it into outer space with Putin in it

[mareknone]

He can walk up stairs. Wow. Kim Putin at his best

[sloboz]

I wish youtube would not remove pro-russian comments, just for fairness ..

[nidmocv]

How will a nuclear plane repair if it can't stop?

[gianmarcoconte]

Gotta appreciate the nuclear suitcase back

[rudevoice]

Ukrain is going to bring it down with a DIY drone.

[e.o]

He was saying is this gonna actually fly😂😂

[HBonk]

Oh how cute, russians have their own "glorious leader pointing at things and checking random stuff" like North Korea. Soon he will be visiting a shopping center to check the rice supplies.

[adriennewalker]

Can’t imagine Biden making it up a ladder 🤣🤣🤣

[thiagoalcantara]

Yet they say hes dying. Guy walk up that ladder many young guys would be ashamed
