Tu-160 Blackjack
Role
- "Damned fascists! They're gonna level the city!"
- ― ISAF pilot during Operation Firefly[1]
The Tu-160 Blackjack is a high-speed, high-altitude bomber aircraft designed as a response to the XB-70 Valkyrie and B-1B Lancer bombers.
History
Strangereal
The Blackjack has seen limited use, with Erusea being only known operator of the bomber.
During the Continental War, six of them were sent to bomb the city of San Salvacion after it fell to ISAF forces. However, ace pilot Mobius 1 shot all of them down.[1]
The aircraft was also fielded in the Lighthouse War, often seen being utilised in conjunction with the Tu-95 Bear. Tu-160s were used during Operation Deer Horn,[2] Operation High Card,[3] Operation One Pair,[4] Operation Dragon Breath[5] and Operation Reflux.[6]
Assault Horizon Universe
In the later days of the New Russian Federation uprising, the New Russian Federation was known to have utilised twelve Blackjacks.
During the liberation of Moscow, the first six were deployed to completely level the city after NATO and government loyalist forces liberated it from NRF control. The initial five were shot down by Warwolf Squadron before the sixth, carrying a cruise missile armed with one of the last of the Trinity warheads and escorted by Andrei Markov and his squadron, appeared from low altitude. It was also shot down.[7]
The remaining six appeared during the defense of the American east coast, first confirmed by spy cameras en route to Washington, D.C.[8] They were shot down; however, one of them crashed onto Woodrow Wilson Memorial Bridge, effectively knocking out the anti-air capabilities of Jericho Unit which was stationed on the bridge as part of the defensive units to guard the White House.[9]
Infinity Universe
The Blackjack was utilized by the USEA Federation during Operation Eternal Liberation.[10]
