Russian President Vladimir Putin flew on a modernised Tu-160M nuclear-capable strategic bomber on Thursday, in a move to be seen in the West as a pointed reminder of Moscow’s nuclear capabilities.

The swing-wing plane, codenamed “Blackjacks” by the military alliance NATO, is a modernised version of a Cold War-era bomber that the former Soviet Union would have deployed in the event of nuclear war to deliver weapons at long distances.

State TV showed Putin coming down a ladder from the plane after the flight and telling reporters it was a reliable aircraft that could be accepted by the Russian Air Force. “It’s a new machine, a lot about it is new. It’s easier to control. It’s reliable,” said Putin.

The Russian leader made the flight at a time when Moscow and the West were at odds over Russia’s war in Ukraine and the death in prison of opposition politician Alexei Navalny.

Some Russian and U.S. diplomats state that they don’t remember a time of worse relations between the world’s two biggest nuclear powers, including during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.

State TV showed the giant plane, which Russia nicknames “White Swans”, taking off and landing at a runway belonging to the factory in Kazan that makes the modernised supersonic aircraft, with correspondent Pavel Zarubin excitedly calling it “a unique event”.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the plane’s flight path was a military secret.
