T-60S Long-range Bomber Prototype

T-60S Long-range Bomber Prototype
The T-60S (or Su-T-60S) project was started by the Sukhoi bureau in 1984 and was speculated to enter service in 2003. it was designed to switch the Tu-22M and also the Su-24. The T-60S is a} long-range supersonic tactical/operational nuclear-capable bomber with stealth technology developed by Sukhoi. although its development was officially secret, the T-60S was reported to be in the prototype stage and ready for flight testing in mid-1996.

Very little is known concerning the technical characteristics of this aircraft, that stay classified by the Sukhoi design Bureau. The T-60S is reported to be a high-altitude, high-speed bomber. The T-60S may contains a lifting body fuselage and a swing-wing construction. the design may be capable of supercruise at Mach 2, with engines probably equipped with two-dimensional thrust vectoring nozzles to solve the matter of insufficient horizontal control at the aircraft's high speeds. The T-60S was supposed to switch the current fleet of Tu-22M supersonic bombers, though this project has most likely been aborted.
