I would assume having supply chain in place and aircraft manufacturer's like antonov, Ukraine is hiding its supersonic bombers somewhere.

  Ukraine has no large supersonic bombers the size of the TU-95/TU-160/TU-223m. They do have a very small fleet of SU-24, but those are tactical bombers, not strategic bombers.

    Ukraine actually has inherited 19 TU-160s from USSR. 8 of which were transfered to Russia as a payment for natural gas, and 11 were disassembled.

        In exchange for $500M from Nunn-Lugar programme

          That was funds for the scrapping operations.
          • at0mic22 1y ago
            Right, the US payed to scrape the military equipment.

      As I wrote, Ukraine has no large bombers in this class...
