The Tupolev PAK DA or PAK DA ( Russian : ПАК ДА , short for: Перспективный авиационный комплекс дальней авиации , romanized : Perspektivnyi aviatsionnyi kompleks dal'ney aviatsii , lit. ' 'Prospective aviation complex for long-range aviation ' ' ), codename Poslannik ( Russian : Посланник , lit. ' Envoy ' ), is a next-generation stealth strategic bomber being developed by Tupolev for the Long-Range Aviation branch of the Russian Aerospace Forces . The PAK DA is set to complement and eventually replace the older Tupolev Tu-95 in Russia's Air Force service.
Technical parameters of the PAK DA include subsonic speed, 12,000-kilometre (7,500 mi) operational range and a capability to continuously remain in the air for up to 30 hours while carrying both conventional and nuclear payloads up to 30 tons. The aircraft is expected to have a crew of four.
In July 2018, United Engine Corporation (UEC) and Tupolev signed a contract for the creation of PAK DA's powerplant. According to early reports, it will be derived from the upgraded Kuznetsov NK-32 Tier 2 engine, intended for modernized Tu-160M2s. About RUB8 billion was to be allocated for the development of the new engine that will be produced by JSC Kuznetsov in Samara . The engine is to provide the PAK DA with a capability to perform 30 hours nonstop flight while being resistant to temperatures from minus 60°C to plus 50°C and even effects of a nuclear explosion. Its service life is expected to be from 12 to 21 years. The first tests of the PAK DA engine will take place in 2020 and be completed by the end of 2021.
