Google for NK-25 Series 3 (NK-25M).
There are possibility that all remaining planes will be re-motorized to NK-32 Series 2M (NK-32AM) for Tu-160M-2 for the sake of unification.

Good to be back.

Russia tests new hypersonic missile designed for Tu-22M3M strategic bomber - source

This missile does not belong to the line of X-32 missiles

tass.com

I am assuming that the new hypersonic missile that is being test fired is probably the GZUR missile. It sort of reminds me of the THOR-ER ramjet project by Norway's assistance and the U.S. with the intention to go hypersonic.

I actually read years ago that we had secretly leased/bought 4-5 of these. Probably for the SFC. Haven't been able to get a solid confirmation, but that's bound to be a challenge since the nature of its use would be top secret.

Actually Russia did offer us this bomber and there were news that we were going to buy/lease around 4 TU-22M3 Bomber Aircrafts to counter PLAN ships in IOR(Indian Ocean region) now I don't know it's current status because it's possible that we Operate them Secretly like how we did with the Mig-25s. But by gosh TU-22M3 is a beauty indeed. I hope we buy couple of these bombers from Russia. TU-22M3 is my favourite supersonic, variable-sweep wing ever. I am in love with Russian Planes.

Finally I found this thread to discuss about TU-22M3 Bomber Aircraft. I was supposed to open a whole new thread for it but after coming across this thread I don't have too. Here are some pictures of TU-22M3.

One question I can't understand , why #IndianNavy never procured Tu-22M3
It can carry 4-5 BrahMos A and in future could carry ~10 BrahMos NG..with a strike range of 500 km, stationed in A&N they would be a CBG killer .
Is it maintenance cost?
