Recall that on January 25, 2018, the Russian Ministry of Defense, in the presence of Russian President Vladimir Putin, signed a contract worth 160 billion rubles with PJSC Tupolev in Kazan for the construction of ten new Tu-160M2 bombers until 2027. Earlier it was reported that the first flight of the first of them was planned for 2021 with the start of deliveries in 2023, however, judging by the condition of the first aircraft in the KAZ workshop, it is unlikely to be lifted into the air before the end of 2022.
