    Actually the tu-160 design is not even original of tupolev but was adopted from the m-20 final version, later adding a mid lifting body feature after recieving data of t-4ms. The tail of tu-160 is slightly less efficient than that of t-4ms and thus shorter range than t-4mс
    Also, t-4ms was not intended to be a stealth bomber

      Not true. It was designed using same avionics and systems & technology as the T-4 "Sotka". utterly conventional flight controls. Huge fins and rudders and the wings had the roll controls.
      It was not at all intended to be stealthy.
      It would have greater range, speed and payload than the TU-160.

      please understand that each video takes time and money to produce. there is a team now employed by the channel an they all need to support their families. Squarespace is our longest supporting sponsor with over 30 integrations now. They along with many other sponsors allowed us to produce about a dozen sponsor free videos at Christmas time.
      Squarespace is also quite relevant to a wide range of people. Most people at some point need a website. Unfortunately Airline, and other transport companies have yet to agree to sponsor the channel, so until then, we will have to take sponsors that allows us to keep making 3D animated mini-documentaries at least once a week.

    What about "M-19", 360 ton lifting body hypersonic bomber project by Myasishchev? If built, it could have been the first operable hypersonic military aircraft, by using six powerful liquid hydrogen-fueled ramjets... Although at a cost, since paying $2 billion equivalent per plane (estimated cost was about 2.5 billion rubles per plane) was considered to be, like, way too much...
    But hey, that could have been first hypersonic plane in actual military service, capable of sustained Mach 5 flight. And definetely a good story to tell.
    P.S. It was also considered as a potential spaceplane, by adding a nuclear rocket motor, but that's a whole another story to tell.

      @@redsun9261 the reason of bombers is that they can approach from unexpected directions over areas not defended or with low cover and attack from distance with multiple missiles before you can intercept them and giving no response time to reinforce that airspace/deploy anti air defenses. But mostly it is a insurance card. In case of nuclear war, ICBM silos, which are most of the nuclear offensive strategic arsenals, would be destroyed on the first strike. So ICBMs are good,. It they are a single use card, you use it at the start and you either consume or lose them to enemy ICBM strikes.

      @@redsun9261 not how it works. Nuclear Armageddon is exaggerated. The nuclear bombers can operate on thousands of km of distributed highways and makeshift mobile airdromes. Nuclear subs would not shoot all, just a few at short range to achieve surprise.
      A nuclear war would be more like a normal war than people believem they just shoot big bombs. There is no magic "radiation" end of the world turning into a yellow filter movie desert. ICBMs would be shot first to command centers and enemy silos on first strike. Mobile nuclear forces are held in reserve. After a few hours of first exchange satellite inteligente would check enemy damage and a second strike with surviving ICBMs and submarines would hit strategic targets. Mainly industrial centers, logistic hubs, major military bases and ports. The objective of nuclear war is to take out fast enemy strike capabilities, communication, logistics and the ability to deploy and sustain forces outside it's territory. Civilian casualties would be somehow limited, the better outcome is to destroy the country capacity to supply cities and produce food, hence leaving dozens of millions of people without basic services and supplies creating a humanitarian disaster that would make impossible for surviving authorities to ignore, denying them the oportunyof sustaining a war effort. Thus is why US forces in Europe have autonomy to carry combat operations for months cut off from the US without comms nor supplies and Soviet forces were made similar, able to roll over Europe independently. At the end the objective is to degrade the enemy combat capacity and gain advantageous positions for negotiations. A third strike is possible with surviving nuclear weapons, directed to the biggest civilian infrastructure that is tending to it's population to make s recovery harder.
      Nuclear war stopped to be civilian mass genocide in the 1960s with the ICBMS securing MAD. Then it turned to a total war with them just as another weapon in case of war. In the 1950s as the US had most of nukes and bomber supremacy the plan indeed was to hit cities to cause the major civilian killings as possible. But it ended when the soviets launcher Sputnik and showed the US they could also suffer that, then nuclear war became s strategic targets hit first, not cities ( though cities would be collateral on major targets). Such as command and control. Major sir bases, ports industrial hubs, railroad hubs, etc.
      After a 3rd strike both countries would still have s minimal reserve of nuclear weapons for defense. Since both would be weak and devastated opening the world to second powers to fill their positions. Specially big populated, enough industrialized and food producer countries like India, Iran, South Africa, Australia, Argentina, Brazil. Which would be the primary source of reconstruction supplies entering a boom of food and industrial output demand while the northern hemisphere is destroyed and it's infrastructure unable to feed an industrial recovery.
