Agree to disagree visually. Personally I prefer its straighter fuselage. B1 looks odd to me.
And being a copy doesn't necessarily mean it shouldn't be considered for its merits.
@B1BLancer Probably structural. Smoke sounds like Russian maintenance, unless it was also there in Soviet times.
Nose looks pretty straightforward to me. Not sure what you’re getting at there.
Blended wings were hardly a new concept. I can’t speak to the internal arrangement, but it’s probably used to increase fuselage volume.
@Graingy its a virtual copy of the B1 which looks stunning, the TU160 looks like it could use a redesign tbh. Like why do the wings look like that when fully swept, the very toxic orange smoke from the engines, that ugly ahh nose and those windows are just hideous, and why is it built like a pancake from the front view?
You need Tu therapy
@Graingy ok then
Yeah, but your degree of aversion is a tad... odd.
@Graingy Lol, just my opinion, I respect yours
"Copy"
convergent evolution.

@Graingy im aware, but I’m saying it looks hideous in my opinion and is basically a virtual copy of the b1 tbh.

I think you have a problem.
That problem is severe phobia of Soviet technology.
