Citation :: PAKDA a Russian Stealth bomber

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 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.

Citation :: 16 juillet 2007 - Tupolev a été chargé de développer le bombardier de nouvelle génération PAK-AD

La société russe Tupolev a été chargée de développer un bombardier de nouvelle génération (PAK-AD) pour l’Aviation à long rayon d’action russe. Le groupe était le seul candidat pour le développement de ce nouvel appareil d’ici 2015.

Source : Interfax.

Ce projet avait déjà été annoncé en avril 2007. Le choix de Tupolev n’est pas une surprise étant donné que le groupe a réalisé la majeure partie des bombardiers russes (Tu-22, Tu-95, Tu-22M et Tu-160).

Citation :: 29 septembre - Tupolev s’est vu notifier un contrat pour développer le futur bombardier russe PAK-DA

Selon RIA Novosti et Avia.ru, Tupolev s’est vu notifier par le ministère de la défense russe un contrat pour le développement d’un "nouveau" bombardier stratégique "PAK-DA". Le contrat "signé cette année" porte sur les travaux de R&D qui auraient commencé bien avant les premiers financements apportés en 2008. Un premier vol est prévu en 2015.

Historique

Le PAK-DA est le projet russe de bombardier du futur qui doit remplacer les Tu-22M3, Tu-95MS et Tu-160. Tupolev avait lancé des études exploratoires depuis plusieurs années mais n’a obtenu un financement étatique officiel qu’à partir d’août 2009. Ce premier contrat sur 3 ans porte sur les premiers travaux de R&D qui permettront d’affiner son design et ses caractéristiques. Le développement du PAK-DA devrait ensuite commencer en 2012 pour s’achever vers 2017 en vue d’une entrée en service vers 2020-25.
Dès 2007, le Général russe Zhikharev avait parlé d’un bombardier "complètement nouveau et différent de ce qui existe à ce jour" qui serait notamment capable de décoller depuis des pistes courtes et non préparées et recourrait aux technologies furtives. Ses caractéristiques ne sont toutefois pas encore connues.

Citation :: New Russian Bomber 'Will Not be Hypersonic'

MOSCOW, November 14 (RIA Novosti) - Russia's future PAK-DA manned bomber project will not have hypersonic speed capability, Russia's bomber force commander said on Wednesday, in an apparent contradiction of claims by Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin earlier this year.
"PAK-DA, currently under development, will not be hypersonic," Lt. Gen. Anatoly Zhikharev told RIA Novosti on Wednesday.
The first prototpe PAK-DA is due to enter service around 2020, he added.
Hypersonic speeds are high supersonic, usually referring to Mach five and above, which can usually only be generated using advanced propulsion technology such as ramjet or scramjet engines. No manned aircraft has yet been flown using such technologies, which are on the cutting edge of aerospace know-how.
Zhikharev's statement follows a protracted exchange in the media between senior air force officers, including himself, and Rogozin, who has special responsibility for the arms industry, over what shape PAK-DA should take.
Rogozin repeated in August an earlier appeal for Russia to develop a hypersonic aircraft for its PAK-DA long-range bomber requirement.
"I think we need to go down the route of hypersonic technology and we are moving in that direction and are not falling behind the Americans," he said on Rossiya 24 TV. "We will use this technology when developing a new bomber."
In June, President Vladimir Putin ordered initial development of the new long-range bomber for strategic aviation. Speaking during a conference on defense orders, Putin said: "We have to develop work on the new PAK-DA long-range bomber aircraft for Long-Range Aviation. The task is not easy from a scientific-technical standpoint, but we need to start work."
Rogozin initially said in June he saw no need for PAK-DA to replace the air force's aging Tu-95MS cruise-missile carriers and Tu-160 supersonic bombers.
“These aircraft will not get anywhere. Not ours, not theirs,” he said in an interview with Izvestia that month. He later clarified his statement by saying he was in favor of developing a future bomber, but it should not just be a copy of the serving US Northrop B-2 and should employ hypersonic technology.
In May, he called on Russia's defense industry to develop hypersonic air-breathing weapons as a future strike system. He cited American development work in the X-51, Falcon, HiFire and HyFly hypersonic programs as examples of what he described as the perspective threat posed by U.S. hypersonic development work.
Some aerospace analysts RIA Novosti has previously spoken to say Rogozin's comments are more likely to be relevant to a future air-launched missile, rather than the bomber that launches it.

Citation :: Development of a new Russian bomber will start in 2014

Development of complex long-term aviation aircraft (PAK DA), which will replace the strategic bombers Tu-95MS and Tu-160, will begin in 2014. On this, as reported by "Interfax" , said the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, Army General Valery Gerasimov. Other details about the project general did not disclose.

The project is prospective bomber was approved in early March 2013. It was reported that the variants of the new aircraft offer several design offices, but the Main Command of the Russian Air Force chose the project Tupolev Design Bureau, who proposed a military subsonic aircraft with extensive use of stealth technology.

It is expected that the forward-looking strategic bomber will be built on a "flying wing". "Tupolev" will finish the work on the tactical and technical characteristics of the PAK DA until the end of 2013 and in early 2014 the Ministry of Defense of Russia will present a calculation of the budget of research works on the project. According to current plans, the mass production of bombers to begin in 2020.

The profile of the PAK DA was completed in mid-2012. Previously, it was also reported that the prospective bomber will not be a deep modernization of the Tu-160, and Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin called on not to create a "copy B-2", U.S. strategic aircraft.

Citation :: Russia's future PAK DA Poslannik stealth bomber to carry 30 tons of nuclear and hypersonic missiles.

1 Aug, 2024 - 10:58
Defense News Aerospace 2024

On July 31, 2024, detailed information surfaced on Russian social media about the PAK DA "Poslannik," Russia's newest strategic bomber. This aircraft, part of a new generation of military aviation, has encountered various challenges and skepticism during its development. However, recent updates offer a more detailed picture of its technology and strategic capabilities.

The PAK DA Poslannik is designed as a long-range, stealth strategic bomber with a projected range of 12,000 kilometers (7,500 miles) and a
payload capacity of 30 tons, or even 35 tons according to some sources, including both conventional and nuclear weapons, as well as
hypersonic missiles. (Picture source: Russian social media)

During a meeting with students at KNITU-KAI named after A.N. Tupolev on June 20, 2024, Konstantin Timofeev, the Managing Director of JSC Tupolev, confirmed the ongoing progress of the PAK DA, though at a slow pace. By late 2023, the PAK DA was ready for ground strength tests, with the first flight initially projected for 2024 now likely postponed to 2025. Serial production is anticipated to begin in 2027.

The PAK DA, an abbreviation for "Promising Aviation Complex for Long-Range Aviation" (Russian: Perspektivnyi aviatsionnyi kompleks dal'ney aviatsii), is described in Russia as a sixth-generation bomber, incorporating technologies such as stealth, internal weapon bays, and supersonic flight capabilities without afterburners. Sixth-generation aircraft are expected to feature laser weapons, network-centric warfare capabilities, and unmanned flight modes. While laser weapons suitable for air combat remain undeveloped, network-centric capabilities are already being utilized in current-generation aircraft. The potential for unmanned operations is also within reach, given advancements in automation and control systems.

Developed by Tupolev for the Long-Range Aviation branch of the Russian Aerospace Forces, the aircraft's development involves several manufacturers, including the Kazan Aircraft Production Association, Novosibirsk Aircraft Production Association Plant, and Beriev. Set to complement and eventually replace the aging Tupolev Tu-95 Bear and Tu-160, the PAK DA, also known by its codename "Poslannik" meaning "Envoy," follows the earlier PAK FA, now known as the Su-57 Felon, and the PAK DP, designated as the MiG-41. The PAK DA, referred to as "Poslannik" ("Messenger" or "Envoy"), remains in its prototype stage, unlike its predecessors.

The project dates back to the late 1990s when requirements for a new strategic bomber were first considered. Formal requirements were issued by the Russian Air Force in December 2007, with financing for the program starting in 2008. By 2013, a subsonic flying wing design emphasizing stealth technology was selected. This design phase was finalized in April 2014, leading to the construction of prototypes at the KAPO plant in Kazan. In 2023, Russia has initiated construction work on a specialized facility for the development and testing of the PAK DA at the Kazan plant, indicating the advanced stage of the project.

The development of the PAK DA has faced significant delays, primarily due to engine issues and resource diversion to the Ukraine conflict. Initially set to be demonstrated in 2023, the plane's readiness has been pushed to 2027. These delays could create a strategic gap for Russia as other superpowers advance on their own stealth bomber programs, such as the Chinese H-20 and the American B-21 Raider.

Despite these setbacks, the development trajectory of the PAK DA suggests a path toward operational readiness. Russian sources report that several prototypes are in production, with the first flight expected between late 2024 and early 2025. In the meantime, Russia has upgraded its Tu-160 "White Swan" bombers to fulfill mission-critical roles, although these are not fifth-generation aircraft.

Known technical specifications for the PAK DA include a maximum take-off weight of 145 tons, a cruising speed of 800 kilometers per hour, and an operational ceiling of up to 20,000 meters. Manned by a crew of four, the PAK DA Poslannik is designed as a long-range, stealth strategic bomber with a projected range of 12,000 kilometers (7,500 miles) and a payload capacity of 30 tons, or even 35 tons according to some sources, including both conventional and nuclear weapons, as well as hypersonic missiles.

Its armament capabilities include up to 12 Kh-BD cruise missiles with a range of 6,500 kilometers, as well as Kh-555, Kh-101/102, and potentially the Kh-47 Kinzhal and future Kh-95 hypersonic missiles with a range exceeding 5,000 kilometers. Notably, the PAK DA will feature air-to-air missiles, unlike its predecessors, allowing it to operate without the need for accompanying fighter escorts, enhancing its survivability and operational flexibility. Additionally, the bomber is said to possess the capability to engage space-based targets, including satellites, as well as a modular architecture, to accommodate future advancements such as laser weapons.

Engine development for the PAK DA initially considered an analog of the Kuznetsov NK-65 turbofan engine but has settled on the NK32-02,
an afterburner engine with a thrust of 24 tons, already in use on the Tu-160M2. (Picture source: Russian social media)

Engine development for the PAK DA initially considered an analog of the Kuznetsov NK-65 turbofan engine but has settled on the NK32-02, an afterburner engine with a thrust of 24 tons, already in use on the Tu-160M2. This decision reflects a pragmatic approach to enable 30-hour nonstop flights while carrying a nuclear payload, withstand temperatures ranging from minus 60°C to plus 50°C, with a service life between 12 and 21 years. Unlike its predecessors, the PAK DA cannot reach supersonic speeds, but its slower speed allows it to carry a larger payload, suggesting that the project prioritizes stealth, endurance, and operational range over speed to align with modern warfare requirements, where avoiding detection is crucial.

The PAK DA's design draws inspiration from the B-2 Spirit, a strategic bomber from the United States, known for its stealth features rather than high speed. Critics argue that Russia is attempting to emulate the design of the U.S. bomber, particularly in the "flying wing" configuration. This design dispenses with traditional aircraft structures such as fuselage, wings, and various elements like stabilization components and flight control, replacing them with complex flight control computers. Therefore, the PAK DA is said to incorporate a low Radar Cross Section (RCS) design, coupled with radar-absorbing materials, allowing it to infiltrate airspace undetected by radar and release its payload before returning to base.
