Tupolev Tu-135 Supersonic Strategic Bomber Project Family

The Tupolev Tu-135 was a supersonic strategic-bomber and missile-carrier project developed in the Soviet high-speed strike-aircraft competition. The Central Air Force Museum records it as Tupolev's competitor against the Sukhoi T-4 and Yakovlev Yak-35; the design remained a program-level project rather than becoming a flown operational aircraft.
