Tupolev Tu-160 Blackjack, Russian White Swan strategic bomber, desktop model

The Tupolev Tu-160 (Russian: Ту-160, NATO reporting name: Blackjack) is a supersonic variable-sweep wing strategic bomber designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau for the Soviet Union and later used by Russia. Entering service in May 1987, and achieving initial operational capability in 1988, its elegant design and the Russian Air Force's white paint scheme earned it the nickname “White Swan”. The Tu-160's operational modes primarily involve high-altitude subsonic cruise, low-altitude subsonic or high-altitude supersonic raids. At high altitudes, it can launch long-range cruise missiles outside enemy air defenses; when undertaking air defense suppression, it can deploy shorter-range missiles. Additionally, it can conduct low-altitude raids, using nuclear-capable bombs or launching missiles to attack high-value targets.
