A few days ago, one of our assets in the ground took this photos about a new intel aerial platform based in the classical Tu-154B2.

First, we received a picture of one 'Careless' with the white radome.


Later, we received 2 more photos, with black radome. Same aircraft? yes, we think that.


Taking off from Anapa for another secret mission. This Tuskha wears the blue scheme of the VVS (not used in new aircrafts since the last year), this fact tell us that is't a new modification...Only now we can have the opportunity of see it in action.

Looking good CZ , been a wile since we have seen a 154 in New Zealand, last jet with delegation was from the Czech Republic which cause a bit of a stir and that was going back 4 to 5 years back amongst the plane spotters.

wow...A trip between Czech Republic and New Zealand in a Tushka was a real challenge.

Looks good! I still enjoy your lighter grey Navy livery the most though! (Seriously, I use that livery almost exclusively!)

It's too bad we'll never see a Tu-154M from Project Tupolev. I think the team and project as a whole pretty much died out completely within the last year. The website gives a virus alert when trying to access it, and even though Kirill seems to be around on the Avsim.su forums, I don't think active development is continuing.

I believe it was forum that flew in for talk and commercial interests through most all Asian and South Pacific countries. Would interesting to see the route taken.

Hehehe, yes Ian, and the time flight.

I am trying to paint new versions...This in dark grey ( I am not agree with colour now) and a lighten grey (same scheme than the new Il 76 version)

Yeah, the project lost impulse. The development of the Il-62M for FSX is on hold due repainter problems (Ukraine war as Kirill said), Tu154M is very complicated to see in FSX before all this years without an active development .
Our beloved Tushka still have some issues to fix. I hope that the team is working in v1.3 between the shadows. I think that we only need one last patch....fixing all issues and adding Radios to VC.

Sadly, maybe its the end of an epoch? Since the end of the development of FS9 version, and the leave from the scene of the chief designer of the Gauges, Stephan Gritsevskyi...This development was a last ray of hope but....

P.S I havent any alert from my antivirus when I visit the website. Maybe you can try to access with other device (non Windows OS).

P.S.2. A few days ago, I tried to fly the Tu-144D...and i was shocked when I saw that I cannot start the engines! (a buggy installation I think that at this moment still unresolved)....Ufff

Just be glad it wasn't a new AMD platform
