  • I believe

    the TU-144 was also outfitted as a supersonic nuclear bomber. The Americans were scared as hell of this thing. It was so fast that if it got past the fighter defenses they couldn't catch it (It could even outrun medium and long-range missiles). It had, I think, something like a 6,000 mile range too. Someone more knowledgeable feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

    • Go Russia!

      Russian fighter jets are better than ALL that America has, even the USA couldn't build a SST, period. Go RUSSIA!
