Nearly all of the ageing Tu-160s and most of the Tu95MSs are undergoing various upgrades. The first seven upgraded Tu-160s and Tu-95MSs returned to service in 2014, and another nine followed in 2016. Only a few dozen of the Tu-95MSs – perhaps around 44 –

Only a few dozen of the Tu-95MSs – perhaps around 44 – will be modernized,whileatleast10 Tu-160s will be modernized by 2019,although there has been some production delay. The upgrade will likely fully integrate the Kh-102 nuclear cruise missileand improve the bombers’ ability to deliver conventional cruise missiles such as the Kh-101.

by 2019, although there has been some production delay. The upgrade will likely fully integrate the Kh-102 nuclear cruise missile and improve the bombers’ ability to deliver conventional cruise missiles such as the Kh-101. The future bomber force will likely include 50–60 aircraft. In addition to modernizing some of the existing bombers, in 2015 the Russian Ministry of Defense announced plans to restart production of the Tu-160. Production of the new version, known as Tu-160M2, is scheduled to begin sometime after 2023 (Sputnik News 2015b). Russian Air Force Commander Col. Gen. Viktor Bondarev said that the plan is to buy at least 50 of the new version, according to Russian news media (TASS 2015). That figure might be exaggerated, but if it is accurate, it would probably result in the retirement of all remaining Tu-95MSs.

You know more about combat weapons than most people I have met. If I ever have the misfortune of being in a firefight (and I’m not talking firemen in a bar) I would like you to help me select my equipment.

Finally, Russia appears to have deployed a new ground-launched cruise missile (GLCM) in violation of the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF). US government sources told New York Times that two battalions have been fielded, one of which is operational with an estimated four launchers. The sources said the launcher closely resembles the launcher used for the Iskander (SS-26), which will make identification difficult (Gordon2017).TheUSgovernmenthas not publicly identified the new GLCM but previously explained what it is not (Kristensen 2015).
