Russia on Tuesday officially christened the first bomber jet completed as part of its plan to restart production on the Tu-160, a much faster jet than the United States Army's B-2 stealth bombers.
As reported by the state-run news agency, TASS, the new bomber was named in honor of Valentina Tereshkova, a Soviet-era cosmonaut, and the first woman to travel to space in 1963. The name, confirmed by United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) Chief Yury Slyusar, comes as part of Russia's tradition of naming its Tu-160s after prominent figures in its history of long-range aviation.
