Russia's next generation hypersonic stealth nuclear bomber could fly by 2020, it has been claimed.
Military bosses claim the engine for the craft has already been tested, and a prototype could take to the air in six years.
It
would be able to travel anywhere in the world in two hours and drop a
devastating nuclear warhead before returning to base, it is claimed.
The test
engine is expected to be showcased at the Army-2016 International
Military Technology Forum, which is set to take place on September 6-11
in the Moscow Region.
Colonel-General
Sergei Karakayev, commander of Russian Strategic Missile Forces,
confirmed the model engine for the bomber has been built and
successfully tested at the Serpukhovo branch of the Military Academy.
