According to "World Aircraft Information Files" the Tu-160 has a smaller RCS than the B-1B. The aircraft was designed with stealth considerations in mind. The jagged intakes are also effective. It doesn't have anywhere near the LO properties of the B-2, but it is better than the Lancer. Couple this with better flight performance and longer range and you've got a violent work of art.
