The exploded plant in the Moscow region could have been involved in the development of the latest "stealth" bomber, according to "Crimea. Realities."
As the publication writes, since 2019, the plant has been involved in the development of the Russian strategic bomber "Messenger."
The development of the bomber-missile carrier has been ongoing since 2009, and its manufacturer is the Tupolev Design Bureau. The aircraft is designed using a "flying wing" scheme, with construction and materials aimed at reducing visibility.
The Russian Ministry of Defense previously stated that the "Messenger" will enter service by 2027 and will replace the lineup of long-range military aircraft:
- Tu-22;
- Tu-95;
- Tu-160.
The mentioned aircraft are actively used by the country-terrorist for carrying out strikes on the territory of Ukraine.
