A reported malfunction on a supersonic, nuclear-capable Tu-160M strategic bomber, which was tested by Russian PresidentVladimir Putinearlier this year, has sparked woes over the country's nuclear triad, a Russian Telegram channel said.
Putinflew on the modernized Tupolev jet, also known by itsNATOcode name "Blackjack," in February. "It's a new machine, a lot about it is new. It's easier to control. It's reliable," the Russian president said at the time.
Two months later, on April 11, the same aircraft crashed on takeoff at the Kazan Aircraft Plant, according to a July 25 report by the VChK-OGPU outlet, which is widely believed to have ties to Russian security agencies.
"A fire in one of the engines, followed by its destruction with the scattering of fragments, led to damage and fire to the remaining three engines and the aircraft. Luckily, there were no casualties," the Telegram channel said.
