Interesting photos - particularly those of Tu-22m3 and Tu-160. are the pictures all very recent? I have to admit to be somewhat confused as to when they might have originated as some seem to show new builds ( partial builds still in yellow primer) I had thought that Tu-22m3 build had stopped some years back?

Beriev rolls out first serial-produced Be-200Chs amphibious multirole aircraft

The Beriev Design Bureau in Taganrog in south Russia has assembled the first serial-produced Beriev Be-200ChS amphibious plane, President of Russia’s United Aircraft-Manufacturing Corporation Yuri Slyusar said on Monday.
"What was produced in Irkutsk [in East Siberia] and what is being manufactured here, in Taganrog, are two different planes. This is an advanced plane with an improved airframe design and new equipment. The aircraft has been modified, considering operational specifics registered over these years," Slyusar said during the plane’s first roll out.

The Be-200ChS amphibious plane will start undergoing trials in the imminent future. After that, it will be made operational with Russia’s Ministry of Emergency Situations.

Earlier, the plane was assembled at the Aircraft-Manufacturing Plant in Irkutsk. A decision was made in 2018 to transfer its production to Taganrog.

It was reported earlier that the first out of six Be-200 amphibious planes currently under construction for Russia’s Defense Ministry would be delivered to the customer in late 2016.

A contract for the delivery of two baseline Be-200ChS aircraft and four Be-200PS planes without fire-extinguishing equipment to the Russian Defense Ministry was signed in 2013. The deal is worth 8.4 billion rubles ($127 million).

(NATO reporting name: Fullback) frontline bombers to the Russian Aerospace Force, the Company’s press office said on Monday.

"The Sukhoi Company has delivered the first batch of Su-34 frontline bombers to the Russian Defense Ministry in accordance with the 2016 state defense order," the press office said.

"The planes took off from the Chkalov Aircraft-Manufacturing Plant in Novosibirsk [in West Siberia] to head for their permanent bases," the press office added.

A source in the Russian Armed Force said that the Aerospace Force had received four new frontline bombers. "Four Su-34 planes delivered to the Aerospace Force will be operational with Russia’s Eastern Military District," the source said.

"The main deliveries of advanced planes to Russia’s Western Military District have been completed. Now Su-34 frontline bombers will start arriving for units based in Russia’s Far East," the source added.

Spokesman for the Russian Eastern Military District Colonel Alexander Gordeyev said earlier that

frontline bombers were expected to arrive for an air unit based in the Khabarovsk Territory in the Russian Far East in early June.

Apparently, the new frontline bombers are designed for the 277th Bomber Regiment based at the Khurba airfield near Komsomolsk-on-Amur.

The new planes are designed to replace Su-24M (Fencer) frontline bombers operational with the 277th Bomber Regiment.
