Valentin Bliznyuk
RF-94113 "Valentin Bliznyuk"
- ... that in 2006 a Tupolev Tu-160 bomber (aircraft pictured) was named after its chief designer Valentin Bliznyuk? Source in Russian but translated: "in 2006, the combat modernized Tu-160 missile-bomber (tail number "19") was given the honorary name "Valentin Bliznyuk"." ([1]), "Bliznyuk was finally propelled to fame in the late 1970s when he was appointed the chief designer of Tupolev's flagship supersonic project, the Tu-160." ([2])
- ALT1:... that Valentin Bliznyuk, chief designer of the Tupolev Tu-160 bomber, has a Tu-160 named after him (aircraft pictured)? .
- Comment: Trying to word the 'pictured' element to make it clear that it is that specific plane pictured, not a general view of a Tu-160. Suggestions welcome. Some great pictures of the plane in question at commons:Category:RF-94113 (aircraft) - these are also used in the article -

Hi Spokoyni, review follows: article created 4 January; article is of good length and well written; article is cited inline throughout; the references appear reliable, I couldn't access the Tupulov article as the wayback machine is currently offline for maintenance, happy to AGF on these; all sources are Russian so overly close paraphrasing is not an issue; hooks are interesting, I moved the "pictured" on the last one to the other side of the question mark, but think I prefer ALT0; images are all freely licensed, my preference for either the first one or the last one; think we just need a QPQ here - Dumelow (talk) 10:44, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
