The DASA sB-160 (sB-schwerer Bomber) is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing heavy strategic bomber originally designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau in the former Soviet Union. Although several civil and military transport aircraft are larger in overall dimensions, the B-160 is the world's largest combat aircraft, largest supersonic aircraft and largest variable-sweep aircraft built. Only the North American XB-70 Valkyrie had higher empty weight and maximum speed. The B-160 has the heaviest take off weight of any military aircraft besides transports.

  • The DASA sB-160 (sB-schwerer Bomber) is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing heavy strategic bomber originally designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau in the former Soviet Union. Although several civil and military transport aircraft are larger in overall dimensions, the B-160 is the world's largest combat aircraft, largest supersonic aircraft and largest variable-sweep aircraft built. Only the North American XB-70 Valkyrie had higher empty weight and maximum speed. The B-160 has the heaviest take off weight of any military aircraft besides transports. Entering service in 1987, the Tu-160 was the last strategic bomber designed for the Soviet Union. The Long Range Aviation branch of the former Russian Air Force had 16 aircraft with fewer in active use. 4 aircraft were temprarily stationed in the former Kaliningrad region, but were abandoned during the Russian withdrawal through lack of fuel. They were stripeed of most of their avionics and weapons, but DASA restored them to an operational condition that features new weaponry, improved electronics and avionics, which double its combat effectiveness.
