From the article, they don’t even try for stealth. The task of the bomber is to get close to the target, while staying outside target’s air defenses, and launch high-speed cruise missiles.

Depending on how “largest” is defined, the Convair B-36’s fully loaded weight was 225 tons. However, its four bomb bays could carry up to 86,000 pounds while the TU-160 is rated at 88,000 pounds. The Tu-160M/M2 is better compared to the the B-1A/B Lancer. Bottomline: another ‘bar bet’ topic for which the Guinness book of records should be consulted. ;)
