Tu-160 'Blackjack' |
|
This section is dedicated to pictures of the Tu-160 'Blackjack' bombers and all of the many variants of this amazing aircraft. As always, our pictures are Cold War originals that we hold in our physical possession. They were all taken at some time when the aircraft was in active service.
