    By the way, here is an older photo of the Kh-101/102 stealthy cruise missiles.

    Isnt it against the old START treaty for strategic bombers to carry cruise missiles on wing pylons? Only internal bomb bays may be used. So this would be an interesting development, and it will be interesting to see if the Tu-160 fleet is modified to have wing sleeve pylons (originally planned, but never fully developed because of the START treaty coming into effect)

    I know it, but it is the big rarity that in the west who that really estimates and sees weightiness of these battles, shouts about "is more often sound have filled up with corpses" "landliz" (though landliz was consider an exchange the weapon on gold and made 2 percent from requirements), washing the acquaintance that lives in USA tells that at school of her son learn that have won USA, and the USSR consider simply aside stood (though 80 percent of force nazi have processed on east front)
    And when consider losses of armies USSR and nazi that at the USSR all losses and civil too and consider it almost 30 million (((and at nazi consider only fighting losses and if to compare real losses that leaves that USSR-1.1 nazi-1 (((it provided that USSR was necessary to hold considerable armies in the distant east in connection with attack threat japan (in 45 year on agreement with usa, USSR has attacked on Japan and have crushed 1000000 army japans in the ratio losses USSR-1 Japan-10)
    And at this time usa dump bombs on hirosima and nagasaki
    I am sorry but therefore for me such songs and music as DIAMONDS in a heap of a dirt that pour on Russia from the western press

    I just wonder why stealth/stealthy cruise missiles, esp. nuclear capable are allowed. Does anyone know if these missiles are in widespread use or are they just prototype/development models

    The T-4 was fly-by-wire right? I heard it was cancelled due to its cost but was highly advanced for its time (kinda like TRS.2)

    Yeah T-4 featured fly-by-wire. About project being cancelled... Well there's no full truth about that plane. I watched the video about it and according to it, Tupolev was afraid that his fame will fade away cause of T-4, Minister of Aviation Industry was scared that he'll lose his job cause of T-4 and he signed the papers to cancel the plane. 100% of new ideas were born in T-4, so it was risky.

    Stealthy cruise missiles are allowed, it would be quite difficult to come up with a wording for a treaty to ban "stealthy" cruise missiles anyway (how do you define "stealthy" exactly).

    There are a number of "stealth" short/medium range cruise missiles around, the only "stealth" strategic cruise missiles I am aware of are the new Russian ones posted above. But any cruise missile is quite stealthy, a low flying small cruise missile programmed to fly a path bypassing major concentrations of radars would be damn hard to stop, even if it didnt use "stealth" technology.

    Good point. I'm sure the U.S. must have a similar "stealth" strategic cruise missile. I'd be quite surprised if they don't.

    Cruise missiles even if not with reduced radar cross section are quite a difficult target for air deffences especially if launched in massive salvos.
