You are correct about the TU-160 it is bigger and faster than the B-1. Smaller payload but with nukes that really doesn't matter. It's not stealthy.
Not like the B2. It's stealthier than a B-52 or Bear...sure. but not really a stealth bomber.
I remember reading that they only had like 10 operational Blackjacks  I guess they'd only really need one though. |
A b-1b isn't stealthy but TF you really don't need too much stealth. and in some cases it's better then stealth. if you can see a B-2 you can shoot it down. good luck in seeing a B-1b and it not being too late. that's all I'm saying. first hand knowledge of what they are capable of.
the 160 has TF ability and is faster then a B-1b. mission capable rates for the 160 have always been really really low. the 160 isn't as bad as you have made it out but I will say the B-1b is a whole lot better.
