First, the basics: the Tu-160 is, indeed, a
supersonic heavy strategic bomber, meaning that they have the speed and
range to strike targets at long distance (how far depends on the load,
the availability of in-flight refueling and flight profile; usually a
max range of 12’000km is quoted). While the Tu-160 can carry regular
(“dumb”) bombs, its primary weapons are cruise missiles, specifically
six Raduga Kh-55SM/101/102/555 missiles or twelve AS-16 Kickback missiles.
