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. ;)
