The Tupolev PAK DA (or PAK-DA) is a proposed Russian next-generation strategic bomber being developed by the Tupolev Design Bureau. The PAK DA acronym (ПАК ДА in Russian) stands for перспективный авиационный комплекс дальней авиации (perspektivnyi aviatsionnyi kompleks dal'ney aviatsii) literally meaning "prospective aviation complex for long-range aviation". The PAK DA was planned to be a new stealth strategic bomber and is expected to enter service in 2025–30, with the first aircraft previously planned for delivery in 2020, but delivery will likely occur some time beyond 2023. The PAK DA will replace Tupolev Tu-95MS and Tu-22M3 strategic bombers currently in service.
