Russia is ready to mass produce their supersonic transport plane, despite US officials thinking that this can never happen.

 

According to the Kremlin, the Russian arms industry designed and is ready to produce their new transport plane, dubbed the PAK TA. Moscow claims that 80 of these massive supersonic warplanes will be roaming the skies by 2024.

 

The PAK TA is state-of-the-art and takes advantage of the 130 billion USD that Russia has decided to invest in modernizing its Air Force.

 

Despite what US officials may think, Moscow leaked the new aircraft’s details:

The Russian super-transport will be able to transport 200 metric tons of cargo across 4,350 miles, which is 80 tons more than the US’s largest transport ship (C-5 Galaxy).
