Described as smaller compared to the U.S. Air Force B-2 Spirit stealth bomber, the Russian T-60S stealth bomber is being developed by Russian aircraft manufacturer Sukhoi, maker of the famed SU-27 Flanker fighter. The T-60S program reportedly uses a variable "swing" geometry wing and includes extensive stealth design features.
The move toward a stealth bomber is seen as an indication that President Vladimir Putin intends to upgrade every the tactical and strategic weapons used by Russia. The new stealth aircraft will enable the Russian air force to fight a complicated conventional war beyond the borders of Federation and compete directly With the U.S. Air Force.
