大公网讯】俄罗斯军方证实:经过多年的紧张谈判,中国终于和俄罗斯达成了引进TU-22M3(「逆火」)生产线的协定,俄方同意转让全部技术资料,这标志著我国与俄罗斯就引进图22M3生产线的谈判终于圆满的画上了句号。未来装备中国海军航空兵部队的图22M3将命名爲「轰10」。

俄罗斯开价15亿美金。同意转让给中国一条「图22M3生产线,现在,西飞已经开始了紧张的试制过程,预计明年下半年能造出第一架样机。由于俄国的 TU22M3已经停産多年,所以所有部件,除发动机外,将全部由我国制造。这次西飞能够快速进入「图22M3」「轰10」的生産试制任务,主要得益于我国先前进口的6架「图22m3」轰炸机在空军服役的经验积累,爲空军科研单位吃透「图22M3」节点技术和西飞歼轰机研制部门对「图22M3」的改进研发提供了有力的技术论证条件。据说军方定货第一批次爲12架,第二批次爲24架,共计36架。

Here's my unprofessional translation of the key points:

- russia agreed to "transfer" a TU-22M3 (will be named Hong -10 in china) assembly line to china for 1.5bil US dollars
- all parts will be manufactured in china with the exception of the engine
- russia agreed to transfer all technical documents for the plane
- first "sample" plane is estimated to complete by end of next year
- PLA ordered 12 planes in the first batch and 24 more in the second batch

It seems that Xi'an Aviation will be in charge of this assembly line.

And please not only a translation, but also a source !!

I have to admit, would we still be in the mid 1990s, I would take that for sure ... but now !!??? Why should Russia agree to sell the Backfire-production line ??? ... because its dated and its a possibility to earn mony !

But why should China accept this "offer" ??? ... as the Tu-22M-3 is better than anything the PLAAF has ... the H-6K projectd doesn't fulfill the anticipated performance ???

IMO I would take this with a very big grain of salt.

Doesn't appear anywhere in any of the major military forums in China, I don't know where you even got this from.

And the entire part about China already importing 6 TU-22M3 really pretty much tells you all you need to know about this article's authenticity.

It didn't say China already importing 6 backfires, it says that China is already operating 6 backfires. Seriously, it reads like pure bullshit to me. It would have been more believable if it came out 10 years ago, in fact, challenger, you sure that this piece of information didn't come from 10 years ago?
