The PAK DA (or PAK-DA), is a next generation strategic bomber which is being developed by Russia. It stands for Perspektivnyi Aviatsionnyi Kompleks Dalney Aviatsyi (Перспективный авиационный комплекс дальней авиации in Russian) which means Future Air Complex for Strategic Air Forces. The PAK DA is going to be heavily based on Russia's current supersonic bomber Tupolev Tu-160 and is expected to have it's maiden flight by 2015.

Russian Air Force has made tactical and technical requirements for a new generation of strategic bombers, as reported Interfax.

According to Russian Air Force commander Aleksandr Zelin, work on a new bomber has already begun. "The requirements are formulated, and many firms are now implementing plans" - said Zelin.

According to available information, the aircraft being developed under the project PAK DA (prospective aviation complex long-distance aircraft), will be computed on the basis of construction of a supersonic Tu-160 bomber. According to specialists, to create a new aircraft will take from 5 to 8 years, and the first flight of bombers to be expected after 2015.

Currently, the Russian airforce has Tu-95 and Tu-160 strategic bombers, as well as long range Tu-22 bombers. They can carry bombs and cruise missiles. The aircraft of these types are currently undergoing modernization.

Reports also say that the new bomber will have stealth characteristics.

Mother Russia,

Salute to you as you have contributed the whole humanity in so many ways from sceince to music. You suffered a lot more than any other nation in the history of mankind.
You were derailed from your track for a while. And that was good enough for the opportunists to create havoc around the world and make a terrible mess. Millions of people got massacared and displaced for no good reason at all. Mother Russia, if you never ever let your guard down for last 20 years, the world would be much better and safer place by now.

Finally you have realized that being stronger in every field from economy to modern military is the most important thing to safeguard the peaceful co-existance among different nations and races. So, Mother Russia , for the sake of mankind, don't ever let your guard down AGAIN. Be strong and prosperous and extend your help towards every other nation who seeks to live a dignified life without any dictat or fear. In recent years, you have produced some great leaders those who are trying relentlessly to put you on top again. Let it be. Hats off to you the the modern day leaders of Russia and her brilliant sceintists, engineers, technologists And above all, the PEOPLE.

No offense but to me it looks more like F-14 which just put on some weight. The wing structure is almost identical to the F-14. Are those moveable?

Well I think this is more of an artistic impression, I tried searching more info about this, but couldn't find. If you check my post it is supposed to be based on TU160 bomber

Then sir, what about TU142 and TU22 replacements, I think these are filling up our maritime bomber roles.

 

[su-47]

maritime patrol roles, not maritime bombers.
