B1 completely sucks in comparison with Blackjack. B-1 was failure, while Blackjack was true success.
Tu-160 has 44 world records. How much B1 have?
Have a nice day.

Looks like its wings point in the wrong direction. Are you sure, the constructor wasn't drunk?

Why records has? Does TU-160 also has none Englishes, and standard procedures Russian copycat American design then brags recent version of old USA production is betters (me not of surprising)?

Too bad none of those are issued to the RF's armed forces in signifigant numbers.

We have many other things that can completely wipeout life from this planet. Try something against us and you’ll see a lot of mushrooms over American cities.

TU-160 and B1 were created approximately at the same time. How in the hell TU-160 could be a copycat of B-1, if TU-160 is thousand times better plane. Its old Soviet made cruise missiles have range of 3000 Km. New classified Russian made missiles have range of 5000 Km. When Yanks will be able to arm their B-1s with something of that kind, let me know. Currently their B-1 armed with bombs its like butcher’s hatchet, while Tu-160 armed with cruise missiles it’s like samurai’s katana.

It’s AH’s joke iirc.
Well, how do you like modern Russia? No more Brezhnev’s portraits I guess.
What are you doing in place like Krukovo? It should be far, far away from civilization.

Please refrain from using the past military glory of Japan to boost Russia's image until after you have given back Sakhalin and the Kuriles. Thank you.

[Serb]

Ok, I'll abstain from using the past glory of Japan. Can we keep Kuriles now? P..l..e..a..s..e.....
Thank you.

[Drake Tungsten]

Can we keep Kuriles now?

For now. I'm sure the Japanese will find a way to get them back eventually, however. They'll probably seize them at the same time the Chinese annex Siberia.

[Serb]

You should sell this crap to Tom Clancy.
Keep dreaming.

Nippon will pay a fair price. 2 Sony widescreen TVs and a crate of PS2 consoles should cover it.

Not many would notice if this happened.

Mind you, what would China want with Siberia?

Natural resources and a boost to their pride when they get back the land the Russians took from them in an unequal treaty.
