This is the Tupolev Tu-95 which was designed as a Tactical Nuclear bomber,
and have been in service for the last 70 years.
Nato reporting name Bear.
The main question is why is this Soviet era Aircraft still in used today.
The Tu-95, has continued to operate in the Russian Air Force, part of the reason for this longevity, was its suitability range and fuel efficiency.
It is not that old compared to the American counterpart, the B-52 , as it was introduced on February 1952.
While the Tupolev TU-95, first flight was in the year 1955.
Their mission is more of a their heavy payload and long range
Both aircraft are large, long range platforms and have proven reliable and adaptable to a variety of roles, from strategic bombing, interdiction, maritime patrol, missile carrier, and even airborne ballistic missile launch platforms !

“Why is it still in service?”
Same reason the B-52 is; it works and performs the mission.
Nothing else to be said.
It doesn't perform its mission GREAT, but it does about as well as it did when I was in the USAF in 1974. The Tu-95 IS NOT a B-52 mission strategic bomber. It's more analogous to the B-47 TACTICAL nuke bomber, BUT it flies LOW and SLOW. The Russians don't have what anyone would call "cutting edge" electronics aboard the BEAR. Many weapons systems are STILL vacuum-tube based. Different mind-set. I can't say "wrong" just different.
@@Walkercolt1 and yes, you served at a time when every American soldier was told about bad Russians, and therefore you should believe about the effectiveness of our aircraft. B-52 did not help much in the victory Vietnam
@@tokumyra Well given the Russian military's' poor showing in Ukraine with poorly maintained equipment, poorly trained men and most certainly poorly motivated, I wouldn't be surprised if many TU-95s fail to deploy when ordered to do so. Given the fact Russia's entire economy is smaller the the State of New York (one of 50 states in U.S.) that is not much budget to field a world class Airforce. Of course the cruise missiles they carry are also suspect in their maintenance.
@@asommer518 Oh yeah the irony, when so many Americans were literally homeless, but their Military Equipment as well as their Warmonger mentality were kept on a State of the Art condition... FYI USA is controlling Grasberg Gold Mine in Indonesia, as well as so many Oil fields it obtained from the Aggression all over the world, while Russia? The only story you heard would be when they fight Afghanistan's fighter on a land of no oil
The B52 is old but the TU-95 is archaic and frankly no longer relevant really...
The Tu-95 is not a tactical but a strategic bomber
It depends on whether the Tu-95 carries nuclear-armed or conventional missiles
@@barrel1885 READ the definition of strategic aviation before starting a dispute
A strategic bomber is a medium- to long-range penetration bomber aircraft designed to drop large amounts of air-to-ground weaponry onto a distant target for the purposes of debilitating the enemy's capacity to wage war. Unlike tactical bombers, "penetrators", fighter-bombers, and attack aircraft, which are used in air interdiction operations to attack enemy combatants and military equipment, strategic bombers are designed to fly into enemy territory to destroy strategic targets (e.g., infrastructure, logistics, military installations, factories, etc.). In addition to strategic bombing, strategic bombers can be used for tactical missions. There are currently only three countries that operate strategic bombers: the United States, Russia and China.
@@INFILTRATOR2008 But the Su 24 tactical supersonic bomber is capable of carrying cruise missiles. It is quite capable of destroying infrastructure and flying into enemy territory. What is a Su 24?
@@barrel1885 you yourself wrote "tactical SU-24" :), and if you attach a nuclear bomb to it, will it become strategic? :) I know that there are people who, even if they are mistaken, will stand by their point of view to the end, even if the whole world thinks otherwise :) You sound like just such a person. You have been given the definition of strategic aviation from the encyclopedia. You decided to continue the argument anyway with the "IF" argument
@@barrel1885 conventional missiles can also be used for strategic purposes, like you see in ukraine
"that were built in 1950s"
That's a little misleading. Russia uses Tu-95MS, which were in production since 1979. So, their airframes are not that insanely old as it seems. Basically, the oldest Tu-95 in service is younger than the newest B-52.
No
they counted it from the day they Took the First Flight.
A lot of Variants here and there so this is a grey Area.
The last copies of the TU-95 (WHICH WERE FAR MORE MODERN THAN THE VARIANTS WHICH WERE LEAVING THE FACTORIES IN THE 1950s, 1960s, etc.) were produced until 1993! And those only 30-year-old specimens underwent modernization about 10 years ago. So only the airframe of this plane looks vintage, everything else in this plane is relatively new..The Aerospace Forces of the Russian Federation (in Russia, the Aviation and Space Forces are one branch of the military) use only TU-95s from the latest series. The older ones have been retired.
The Tu-95 really took its first flight in 1956.
However, it was used as a base for making a Tu-142 maritime recon and ASW plane (half of the fuselage was remade, fyi), wich first flew in 1968 and entered service in 1972 already as a Tu-142M, an upgraded variant. And later that Tu-142M was again used as a base for making a Tu-95MS in early eighties. The ones that're still in service were heavily upgraded with new engines, propellers, radar, control, navigation, armament and electronic countermeasures systems in mid 2010-s.
So, this plane is a 2015's mod of a thirty - thirty-five year old base and it's being used as a highly mobile cruise missle launching platform wich is not nearly obsolete
(That said, Tu-95 nuclear BOMВER is out of service for a long time actually - and no, @aitelly, it's not a grey zone)
B52 first (prototype) flight 1952
B52 three pre-production models B52A made in 1954 (none of those served)
B52 production of thirteen B52B in 1955 (first model to serve)
B52H (that serve today) made from1961 to 1963
Tu95 first (prototype) flight 1952
Tu95 30 serial aircraft were built*, From 1954 to 1957, and went active in early 1956
*of which one was for statistical tests (serial number 5800303).
Tu95MS (that serve today) six converted from Tu-142M in 1979 at Factory "No. 86"
and serial production of 34 Tu-95MS made in 1981-1983 at factory "No. 18"
@@Aitelly All Tu-95 ins service is MS variant which means airframes from 1984 and beyond. Idiot.
In the Vietnam war the US lost a handful of B-52s because they were used as conventional carpet bombers. Now after all these decades the B-52 has been upgraded heavily with modernize technology and still has a place in the modern battlefield, so does the bear. Their roles in Ukraine are honestly how it should properly be used, utilize their long operational range and unload their cruise missiles from far out of the range of enemy jets and SAMs.
Youre right, their odds of survival are unfavorable in enemy airspace. The thing is that any place out of range of SAMs would essentially have to be across the Russian boarder where you may as well just launch the missiles conventionally
_>Their roles in Ukraine are honestly how it should properly be used_
Agreed. Fuck hohols in specific! xD
Same missile ground launched will have less range than air launched. Also the missiles can than be stored way back from the front line cause you can stack the range of the missiles and bomber.
Our B-52's got deployed to London. You're incorrectly stating that B 52's are in Ukraine they are not.
I think if there is a war with NATO, the bfstro strikers will destroy it and heavy bombers like it
So basically the Tu-95 Bear is Russia's version of the B-52. It's also the fastest turboprop powered aircraft in the world and can fly faster than most subsonic jet planes. I believe it's actually faster than the B-52.
Or... B-52 is USA's version of Tu-95.
@@jerromedrakejr9332 exactly comrade
@@F.O.U.N.D.E.R no. The b52 came into production 4 years before the tu95
Tu-95 is also one of the loudest aircraft in service today bcos the tip of the propellers constantly creating sonic booms
B52 top speed 650mph, T95 575mph. B52 can carry 20 nuclear cruise missiles 12 in pylon configuration and 8 in rotary launcher…. It appears the T95 can only carry 16. The buff (B52) is a monster!
Major props to the original designers.
It is the only propeller driven aircraft that actually requires a swept wing and remains the worlds fastest propeller driven aircraft. As already mentioned the design has been upgraded in the 1970s with the naval version called Tu-142, which is often called a Bear bomber, but the Bear has been carrying cruise missiles since the late 1970s and is not able to carry bombs. The Tu-95MS16 can actually carry 16 cruise missiles, if they are all the smaller Kh-55SM type, with 5 weapons on two pylons under each wing for 10 missiles externally and 6 more internally. The newer Kh-101 and Kh-102 have a flight range of 5,000km and are larger diameter (750mm) and are 7.4 metres long. The internal weapon bay of the Blackjack is 11 metres long and so they fit easily, but the internal weapon bay on the Bear is designed for the 6m long Kh-55SM so the Kh-101/102 don't fit. The twin barrel 23mm cannon each fire at about 3,500 rpm so with two guns that is about 7,000 rpm, which is better than Phalanx. Its most effective round however is probably the round with chaff and flare dipoles... a half second burst can create a cloud of 50 flares and chaff elements to one side or another of the aircraft creating an instant complex pattern to distract incoming enemy missiles.
Still, prey for a modern day fast air jet. Surface to air missiles, and Ukrainian air defence. And knowing russian maintenance up keep, logistics etc, I bet 1 in 3 actually work. Drones and missiles are the future. Not upgraded WW2 style bombers with propellers.
@@tomosa6880 The Bears are strategic cruise missile carriers, the Russians look after them just fine. But air defence equipment is useless against them because they carry cruise missiles with a minimum range of 3,000km for the small ones they carry internally. The externally carried ones have a range of 5,000km. When delivering goods to the good old US of A it will take them a bare minimum of about 6 hours to get to their launch positions so anything that might shoot them down has already been nuked by ICBMs and SLBMs launched and exploded on target 5 hours earlier.
@@tomosa6880 tell me u just spam random illogical comment without any knowledge.
@@babayagacodswallop1756 Indeed, he talks about future, unbeknownst to him, the future won't be able to adopt Oil fueled jets as the oil would one day depleted, whilst propeller could adopt the solar powered engine to remain relevant. USA has been burning funds since WW II to become a terror nation, forcing their believe to other countries while the American suffer expensive healthcare and homeless problems
@@tomosa6880 от куда вы знаете о русском техническом обслуживание? У вас предвзятое отношение - русское, значит плохое. А как же русские эксплуатируют другой самолет Ту-160?
This is not a bomber, this is a strategic missile carrier.

Thanks man
Its not its russian. There is nothing good quality from russia
@@pkwithmeplease The AK-47 wil disagree with you.
@@pkwithmeplease If so, why the West isn't attacking Russia yet? Because they would attack only weaker adversary. Facts .
Nice technology ahead of its time
Think of it like this, they have Tu-160s that is more advanced in every single way but old bear is still just that good and upgraded there is no point in scrapping instead of upgrading. Also it's use as missile carriers is genius, anything can drop dumb bombs but how many kinzhals or other missiles Tu-95 can pack with it's range is why bear stays.
not sure if they are capable to launch Kinzhal because it needs to start with significant initial speed so that's why ultrafast but old Mig-31 or modern Su-57 are used as Kinzhal launchpads
@@poleteli i hear that the kinzal can only fire from mig-31 and tu-160 cuz they are fast
@@mynamejeff4656 yep, it has to be accelerated as much as possible to get highest speed and range. Su-57 is fast enough also. Similar missile "Circonium" can be fired from the ships, but gets less speed and range - 8-9M and 450-600 km only. Still awesome, though
@@poleteli its name zircon i think, really good tech
As long as it still usefull compared to its maintain cost, then no reason to decommisioning them
Fantastic presentation! Keep it up guys!
As for this aircraft, it's passenger version (TU-114) could be a great alternative to planes with turbojet engines if not for the deafening noise of the engines 😬
Yes. I really wonder how the Soviet manage to produce these Great Aircraft at a fraction of the cost inspite of the Cold War betweeen the US in the 1960s.
A bit noisy though.
@@Aitelly well in USSR we had huge country where the major means of production and property were owned by the state. You don't to have money to build something, communist party just need to tell you what to built and it will be done soon or later. My grand dad flown one of these TU95 Bears. Cool plane, loud though :)
TU-114 was one of the safest Soviet passenger aircraft. The only other aircraft that equals it in number of fatal crashes (0) is the Il-96
underrated channel, no BS, just facts and details.
Thanks 🙏
Same reason the B-52 is still in service. It excels in its role
B52 dropped Nukes in over 15 accidents, B52 half of them were lost to accidents, Tu95 never had an accident.
@@omarb8655 It is so weird some of the things people make up.
The B52 never dropped a nuke by accident, and no half of the B52s were never lost to accidents. 744 B-52s were built, are you really gonna sit there and say 372 have been lost in accidents?
"Tu95 never had an accident."
Yet it has.
@@omarb8655 if we, russians, will accidentally drop a nuke, we'll never tell you. We're not so stupid to let the whole world laugh at us. So i am not so sure, that Tu95 never droped a nuke. Remember, after communism appeared to be failure in 1991, our new ideology is to fuck things up. Very frequently.
@@aflyingcowboy31 Just because you don't know something doesn't mean it didn't happen. don't be an idiot.
1968 Thule Air Base B-52 crash - huge contamination of Greeland ice shield, one warhead still not found.
1966 Palomares B-52 crash - three warhead where dropped on ground, one at sea. Two warhead were destroyed, heavy contamination of Spanish soil.
1958 Tybee Island mid-air collision - one warhead still somewhere under water near Savannah.
"never dropped by accident", my ass!
and now tell me about Tu-95 as i did. Go ahead, don't be shy.
@@aflyingcowboy31
Even if the TU95 had an accidental drop, the USSR would never report it as missing, or even record it

They all start with little bias then it transforms, if it's an American/western behind the video everything Russia does is crap or a copyand everything US/west does is great sometimes very obvious sometimes subtle, if it's a Russian behind the video the west is scared from this or that weapon and the west has crap, so with time it becomes boring hopefully this one stays without bias or significant bias

The RAF kept the piston engined contra-rotating prop Avro Shackleton maritime patrol & ASW aircraft (developed from the WW2 Lancaster bomber) in service until 1991 because it could reliably plod around the oceons for 14½ hours at a time without refuelling whilst hauling a large array of weapons. The TU 142 maritime version of the TU 95 can patrol for even longer. That will be a difficult aircraft for Russia to replace.

They named him a bear because of the roar of his engines))), and he is strategic.
The TI-95 is still in use and modernized for the same reasons the B-52 is still in use maybe when both countries retire these planes there won’t be a need for a long range bomber but I do t see that happening.
For sure, the Tu-95 will outlive the coming B21 Raider.
So will the b 52, its really weird and they should not be compared
The B-21 will be a scam like the F-35 and will serve solely to fill the pockets of the military industrial elite... They no longer care at all if what they are producing is usable or even safe for the user, the American soldier, because it is enough invest in fierce marketing and bribe the easily corruptible generals, and then stuff the army with unusable shit...
They replace B21 after it has finished robbing taxpayers....

That question would be better suited to the Boeing B-52... all examples of that plane were produced until 1962 of the last century. The Tu-95, like the B-52, was designed in the 50s of the last century, but the examples now in the Russian Air Force were produced in the late 80s and early 90s of the last century, so they are not too old yet.
Great info
Good video!
The Tu-95 is a long range subsonic strategic bomber and not a tactical bomber.
I like this bomber plane Tupolev TU-95 very much, it should stay in service more and upgrade as well.

For some fun contacts just remember the F-14 tomcat was created to intercept the TU-94 Bear in the 1970's.
While America retired the tomcat in 2006 at the latest 2016 you have F-14's from the Islamic Republic Of Iran Air Force. Flying ESCORT for the very same bombers for Russian assistance in Syria.
Great Informative Comment 👍
They still have the GSH-23 in them eh?
The B52s ditched the rear guns in the 90s. Honestly like the B52 there's really no near future plans to replace it, we will be seeing these behemoths well into the 2040s
For the same reasons the B52s are still in service.
I made a model with double horizontal engines above the tail and they are mounted in the same mechanism that spins in the axis of the connection to control the yaw. Instead of four propellers in a pair of wings, it have two.

They could be heard miles away. They tips of the propellers broke the sound barrier 24/7 which is why most nations abanded contra-rotating propellers.
it is very good that there have been fewer of them lately
a little advantage of the TU95 because its a turboprop is that on average they are detected 17 minutes later on satelites. but yes its current role is a long range convetional and nuclear crusie missile spamer supplement to the TU160 qnd upcoming PAK DA project , while the TU22M serves the more multipurpose role of carrying also other weapons like conventional bombs. also one thing to note is that right now only officialy at least only Mig31 and Tu22M variants specially converted for it are able to use the kizhal air launched hypersonic ballistic missile.
Assuming the PAK DA even exists. Which considering the whole T14 Armata fiasco, it's likely the PAK DA will end up in the same existencial limbo as the Su-57, technically a part of the Russian Air Force but so prohibitively expensive to buy and upkeep that it exists in too few numbers to have any real impact, and hardly ever sees action out of fear of such a massive investment being shot down. If the invasion of Ukraine has shown the world anything, is that Russia has always kept up a much scarier façade than what it actually has, and that their economy has been getting steadily worse

You see a pattern here ? they also claimed that russia has no drone capability , no cruise missile capability ( or low production lol , lets pretend russia hasnt spamed crusie missiles the enitre time , no funnier they cried that they ran out of old missiles wich is bad because now they firing new ones like WHAT ? ) , night vision and thermal visioncapabilitys etc etc , some fo those bs dates back way into the cold war.
Probably the loudest plane ever built; level of noise surpasses jet engines...
But, very fast for the type and highly fuel efficient. It was allegedly reported that Russians occasionally probe NATO/USA positions with them and that the F-22 squadron complained they spend more per flight hour than Tu-95. Not sure if it is true, but definitely plausible...
This is well done
..no politics just facts. I smashed the like and sub button - well done :)
Thanks for the kind words
