Just another question/comment... You have fitted the Tu-160 with a decent load of 1000 lb bombs. Pounds? Russian bombs are metrical, are they not? There are 250 kgs, 500 kgs, 1000 kgs and even 1500 kg laser guided munitions.

Also, the Tu-160 is the largest bomber in the world and it carries - at least according to the sources I've read - a heavier bomb load than anything else on the planet. 32 1000 lb bombs equals roughly 15 000 kgs, quite a bit, but still less than what the Tu-22M carries. Is this a mistake, or is it really the case?
