Russia Confirms G5 Bomber Plans

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev on Saturday reiterated plans to develop a new, fifth-generation strategic bomber.

“Alongside a fifth-generation fighter there are also plans to develop an advanced long-range aviation complex. I am talking about a new strategic bomber,” he said.

Maintenance and modernization of the existing strategic bombers is not enough, he added.
His remarks come days after a senior cabinet member questioned the need for a new bomber.


Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin suggested on Monday that with the current and future air and missile defense systems in place, strategic bombers were no longer relevant and could no longer be relied on to deliver strikes on enemy territory.

Russia announced plans in 2009 to develop a new strategic bomber featuring stealth technology by 2025. The new bomber is expected to replace the Tu-95MC Bear and Tu-160 Blackjack strategic bombers, and Tu-22M3 Backfire long-range bombers currently in service with Russia’s strategic aviation.

A fifth generation strategic stealth bomber is the need of the hour... I'm in blind support of such a lethal machine.

But 2025, I'd become a grandpa by that time!!

Do it soon Russia.Maybe we could go in for a JV?
 
I think they will go for UCAVs.
They are going for UCAV's but as is with all othr countries, it is for a short range tactical role.............none of them are powerful enough to act as a strategic bomber............

BTW We should definitely do a JV with Russia on this.............even if the only contribution is $$$, it will be a great learning experience

Just like the BrahMos experience in which India got FREE technology from Russia ?

Can't just stop spewing rubbish, can you.......:disagree:
The only thing Russia provided was the base design for the Brahmos, that is P-800 Oniks...........The rest of the work, including ramjet development,Design adjustments, avionics integration, development of block I, II and III land and air versions was all done by India........
That is why India is the primary user and has the majority share in BrahMos co.........
