UPI reports: "Russia's Tupolev Tu-160 White Swan bombers are back from Venezuela. The overseas visit by the most powerful strike aircraft of Russia has created a new surge of interest in these planes, which make up the core of Russian strategic aviation. [...] In 2007 then Russian President and current Prime Minister Vladimir Putin decided to resume regular missions by strategic aviation to remote parts of the world. It was also decided to restart production of Tupolev Tu-160s and increase the air force complement to 30."
