The T-4MS bomber competed against Tupolev Tu-160. In 1967, the USAF launched a program of the Rockwell B-1B Lancer supersonic-strategic bomber which has a blended wing body configuration, with variable-sweep wing and four turbofan engines. The USSR prompted to maintain the strategic balance A requirement for the research and development of a new bomber was issued to three design bureaus which resulted as Myasishchev M-18, Sukhoi T-4MS and Tupolev 160. The Sukhoi T-4MS was based on an earlier T-4 Sotka supersonic bomber. It was codenamed 'S-200' as it's take off weight approached 200 tons. In 1972, the three designs were presented to the Ministry of Avi ation Industry. The T-4MS was chosen as the winner of the competition. However, the USSR Air Force felt that Sukhoi would be unable to handle the T-4MS development as the bureau was already involved many new fighters projects. Sukhoi was ordered to stop the development and transfer all the research works of the T-4MS to Tupolev bureau. Tupolev declined the offer and continued the 'Article160' design with variable geometry wing which became the Tupolev Tu-160 Blackjack bomber.","brand":"Anigrand Craftswork","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53773629063505,"sku":"ANIG4020","price":113.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0865\/4992\/2129\/files\/ANIG4020.jpg?v=1778720702","url":"https:\/\/www.jadlamracingmodels.com\/products\/anigrand-4020-sukhoi-t-4ms-vg-mig-ferret-blackghost-t-59-1-144","provider":"Jadlam Toys \u0026 Models","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
