It's gonna happen, apparently, because Putain suggested a Tu160 could be converted into an airliner! Aha! The Great Leader has spoken! And with such technical insight and authority too!
The article does contain the following quote:
"The United Aviation Corporation (UAC) will develop Russia’s newest supersonic passenger jet starting 2022, according to the Russian Ministry of Industry"
But then again, if you're the head of a Government ministry in today's Russia, it's probably a good idea to tell the President what he wants to hear.
