Post by: bioconscripter on June 25, 2002, 02:25:51 PM
I think it's a Tu-160 not a B-1. I don't think they would keep American planes in hangars like that and it looks like it has a star on the tail.

Post by: Sleight on June 25, 2002, 03:15:52 PM
Maybe a Tu-160 in a German hangar?

Your an idiot if you think that could possibly be a tu160. Specially from this angle. It is obviously a B1B. It is undergoing harsh weather testing in the Freezer(a cool place i might add) at a Eglin A.F.B. as somone said. Man how in hell could you mistake that for a Tu160 not to mention the size difference.

The B1 is tested in all phases of flight and static...here we have the results of the stay-puff marshmallow man test, as you can see gentlemen the results are devasting....:D

Title: TU-160...I think not!
Post by: Garobi on June 26, 2002, 08:30:37 AM
It is a B1 Lancer, in fact the B Model, it is configured for conventional weapons.

Note the main gear has 2 sets of 2, a total of 4 wheels for each side, further note that the B1 has a full set of vertically placed canards near the nose. The B1 also has a more pronounced bend on the back of the aircraft between the weapons officer section and the rudder.

The TU-160 has a smaller set of horizontally placed canards almost under the cockpit, the TU-160 also lacks pronounced bend on the back, and finally the coup de gras: The TU-160 has 3 sets of 2 tires on the main gear, a total of 6 tires each side.

There are other small differences there also, but I won't bore you with them today.
