in early December 2023 the state
0:04
conglomerate rosc announced that
0:06
scientific research in Russia had been
0:08
finalized for the establishment of a
0:10
test stand base for the strength testing
0:12
of the new generation prospective
0:15
longrange Aviation complex or the pack
0:17
da bomber today we talk about the
0:20
developments of the new aircraft project
0:23
and its distinctive capabilities the
0:25
final design of the pack da pinic which
0:28
is also labeled product 80 was approved
0:31
by the ministry of Defense in April 2021
0:34
the initial prototypes for ground and
0:36
static testing were assembled in 2020 it
0:40
is anticipated that the new strategic
0:42
bomber will make its inaugural flight by
0:45
2027 and serial production May commence
0:48
at the Kazan Aviation plant between 2027
0:51
and 2028 the tupv design Bureau which
0:55
has been responsible for the development
0:57
of heavy bombers in Russia is currently
0:59
working on the
1:00
aircraft the tupv 160 tupv 995 Ms and
1:05
tupv 22 M3 are the three varieties of
1:08
Modern Combat aircraft that are intended
1:10
to be replaced by this new aircraft in
1:13
Long Range aviation in order to extend
1:15
the service life of longrange bombers
1:18
and substantially improve their combat
1:20
capabilities Russia initiated numerous
1:23
modernization programs in the 2010s the
1:26
tupv 160 and tupv 95 MS which are long
1:30
range strategic aircraft are currently
1:33
undergoing upgrades to their weapon
1:34
systems and Equipment the most recent
1:37
x101 cruise missiles and their nuclear
1:40
variant the x102 are now available for
1:43
use by updated tupv 160s and modernized
1:46
tupv 95 MSM aircraft these aircraft were
1:49
observed during counterterrorism
1:51
operations in Syria where x101 missiles
1:55
were employed to Target critical
1:57
locations additionally they are engag
1:59
engaged in ongoing special military
2:01
operations the tupv 22 M3 is also
2:05
undergoing a comprehensive modernization
2:07
process to achieve the tupv 22 m3m
2:10
status on December 28th 2018 the
2:13
inaugural flight of a new model aircraft
2:15
occurred it is equipped with a
2:17
contemporary cockpit a new electronic
2:20
warfare system that replaces the tail
2:22
gun and a weapon system that has been
2:25
substantially upgraded this upgrade
2:27
enables the use of the product 715
2:30
and the X32 cruise missiles the Kazan
2:33
Aviation plant intended to modernize 30
2:36
tupv 22 M3 bombers as part of the
2:39
modernization program the tupv 160
2:42
strategic bomber was scheduled to
2:44
recommence production in 2015 as
2:47
announced by then Russian defense
2:48
minister Sergey Shu subsequently a
2:52
program was disclosed that would result
2:54
in the construction of 50 new supersonic
2:56
bombers in the years ahead it is anticip
2:59
ipated that the entire tupv 95 inventory
3:03
will be replaced with tupv 160s as a
3:06
result of the influx of relatively
3:07
modern aircraft into long range Aviation
3:11
a newly assembled bomber from the Kazan
3:13
Aviation plant the prototype for the
3:15
future serial tupv 160m completed its
3:18
inaugural flight on February 2nd 2020
3:22
the new tup ev60 aircraft is undergoing
3:25
production line reconstruction and
3:27
upgrades which include the resumption of
3:30
nk32 engine production and the updating
3:33
of radio electronic equipment the
3:35
formidable combat capabilities of
3:37
Russian long range Aviation will be
3:40
preserved by these modernization
3:42
programs and the resumption of the tupv
3:44
160 production until the 2030s to 2040s
3:49
when the new stealth bomber is
3:50
anticipated to begin replacing longrange
3:53
bombers now with respect to the PDA
3:56
project although it is classified
3:58
certain details regarding the aircraft's
4:00
design are open to the public the new
4:03
strategic bomber will be subsonic and
4:05
will be designed as a flying wing this
4:08
design decision was made due to the fact
4:10
that the Flying Wing configuration
4:13
enables the efficient placement of
4:14
payload compartments thereby obtaining
4:17
the best aerodynamic performance for a
4:19
subsonic aircraft this configuration
4:22
also enables longrange flight with a
4:24
substantial payload the new aircraft
4:26
will be able to fire cruise and
4:28
Hypersonic missile missiles without
4:30
entering the air defense zone of a
4:32
potential enemy and it will have reduced
4:34
radar visibility subsonic cruise
4:37
missiles including the xbd and X11 will
4:40
make up the primary Weaponry it is
4:43
certain that the aircraft will also be
4:45
equipped with Advanced Hypersonic
4:47
missiles which are specifically designed
4:49
to neutralize adversary air defenses and
4:52
clear paths for conventional cruise
4:54
missiles the aircraft is anticipated to
4:57
have a payload capacity of about 35 tons
5:00
which translates to the capacity to
5:02
carry a minimum of 12 cruise missiles in
5:05
two weapon compartments the entire
5:07
takeoff weight is estimated by experts
5:10
to be approximately 145 tons the
5:13
aircraft will be fitted with the most
5:15
sophisticated radio technical equipment
5:17
and a defense system that is capable of
5:20
disrupting any guidance systems
5:22
including radar and infrared signals it
5:25
will also be equipped with a radar
5:26
complex that is capable of detecting
5:29
both air and ground targets at the end
5:31
of 2020 the first engine assembly for
5:34
the pack da was started in order to
5:37
conduct its testing a special rig was
5:39
built according to the requirements for
5:41
the product the engine must provide a
5:44
flight duration of 30 hours and also
5:46
reliably perform its functions at air
5:49
temperatures from -60 to+
5:52
50° in addition the requirements include
5:55
resistance to the influence of some
5:57
damaging factors of a nuclear explosion
5:59
expon the range of the aircraft is
6:01
estimated at around 15,000 km sealing of
6:06
20,000 M or 65,000 ft and manned by a
6:10
crew of four in June 2014 information
6:13
was disclosed regarding the purported
6:15
developer of the missile carrier
6:17
propulsion system the Samara engine
6:20
building firm kusnetsov is expected to
6:22
develop the new engine as it emerged
6:25
winner in the competition for the
6:26
corresponding project the gas generator
6:29
technology of the nk32 engine will be
6:32
used to construct the engine it is
6:34
reasonable to assume that this pertains
6:36
to the nk65 engine project in an
6:39
interview with interfax Dennis manturov
6:42
the director of the ministry of industry
6:44
and trade announced that the overall
6:46
assembly of prototypes of the new
6:48
strategic bomber pack da started in
6:51
Russia in 2021 in accordance with the
6:54
contract and the Consolidated schedule a
6:56
phased transfer of working design
6:59
document a to the manufacturer is
7:01
underway at the production site itself
7:04
the aggregate assembly of prototypes is
7:06
underway manov said prototypes of the
7:09
pack da engine were reported to have
7:11
successfully completed rig tests in
7:13
October 2022 rosc submitted a report in
7:17
December 2023 regarding its efforts to
7:20
establish a test base and test bench
7:22
equipment for the purpose of testing the
7:25
complex's aviation launchers Constantine
7:28
timi the managing director of JSC tupv
7:31
confirmed the ongoing development of the
7:33
PAC da during a meeting with students at
7:35
n Kai on June 20th
7:38
20124 however the pace of progress was
7:40
slow the PAC da was prepared for ground
7:43
strength testing by late 2023 and the
7:46
initial flight which was projected for
7:48
2024 is now likely to be postponed to
7:52
2025 it is anticipated that serial
7:54
production will commence in 2027
7:57
nevertheless in December 23 Vadim coralv
8:01
tev's managing director discussed the
8:03
company's strategic vision and
8:05
modernization during the interview
8:07
coralv said that the PAC da production
8:10
line has been converted to the assembly
8:12
of tupv 214
8:14
aircraft this also prompts us to
8:16
consider the future of the PAC da
8:18
program Victor bereev the chairman of
8:21
the defense and security Committee of
8:23
the Federation Council announced that
8:26
deliveries of the new generation long
8:28
range bomber would commence following
8:30
testing between 2025 and 2030 it is
8:34
difficult to predict the Project's
8:36
development in the current
8:38
environment the initial pack da flight
8:40
prototype is anticipated to be prepared
8:43
for testing in 2024 2025 according to
8:46
optimistic projections serial production
8:49
could be initiated by 2027 if it proves
8:53
successful now do you think Paca will be
8:56
put into the back burner as civilian
8:58
aircraft production is is taking Center
