Tycoons plan to convert Russian bomber into supersonic jet
Businessmen from the Middle East, Australia, and Greece have asked Russian aerospace and defence company Tupolev to turn the Tu-160 strategic bomber into a private supersonic jet. Adding that the company has the capacity to make such a plane, Tupolev's lead designer Valery Solozobov said, "We get such messages regularly, some of them through the Russian defence agency Rosoboronexport."
