The PAK DAM

A next-generation Russian long-range bomber derived from the stealth-focused PAK DA program. While the PAK DA emphasizes extreme low observability and stealth-first architecture, the PAK DAM is a related variant designed to balance stealth, payload, and operational flexibility. It retains a flying-wing configuration to reduce radar cross-section (RCS), though it is not as fully optimized for stealth as the original PAK DA. Instead, it focuses on delivering a broader range of mission capabilities—strategic strike, electronic warfare support, and even high-altitude surveillance—while maintaining a lower profile than legacy bombers like the Tu-95 or Tu-160.

Though details remain classified, the PAK DAM is believed to incorporate advanced materials, internal weapons bays, and electronic countermeasure systems to reduce its signature and increase survivability. It is powered by efficient engines likely derived from existing Russian turbofans but adapted for long-endurance missions. While not a “pure stealth” bomber, the PAK DAM’s low-RCS design makes it difficult to track at long ranges, positioning it as a versatile tool in future strategic operations—especially in scenarios where deep penetration is less critical than sustained loitering or multirole adaptability.


ehehe


That's about it, yes this is a revised version of my old PAK DA and for me I say it's a bit better and this is the PAK DA concept I grew up, not the one with the blue inner color (I like that too). It works on AI like a charm, no weapons and two flare poppers. I will say that I like my Tu-22M3 more because it took more effort and time but this PAK DAm is pretty good too, both are Tupolev Design Bureau. ;)
