These planes remind me too Thunderbirds the tv show.

Ah, you are thinking of the Fireflash I take it?

Tupolev didn't design the Tu-160, it was a Myasischev design called the M-18 which Tupolev merely refined and put into production.

well now you could say it that way...
but
I would say that he desided to use the same overall scheme as of M-18
and I'll stick to that untill I have read the opposite somewhere else

As far as i know 160 was the design that won the competition and that is befor tupolev had the data from miasishchev
