Could a Tu-160 Carry a 20m Cargo Container?

Gonna pull the trigger on an alt-history, modern-day sci-fi game.

It'd be awesome if the party, starting out, delivered standard 20-meter shipping containers with their converted, surplus Russian Tu-160 supersonic bomber.

Would one fit?

Thanks!

You know what? Never mind. It fits because the plane is 'converted' to fly in space anyway, and because it's kind of cool.

The Tupolev 160 is not a widebody, so a standard container would likely stick out in a few places.

It would obviously have to be converted to do so, but if you're converting it into a spaceship anyway, why not?
