Tupolev was born and lived in my city of Kimry (Tver region, Russia). There is a monument to him in the city square. There is also a monument in the form of a real Tu-124 in front of the bridge over the Volga. 👍
Skinny and sinister with giant counter rotating props , the Bear looks threatening just sitting still . And what's that incredible sound ??? Truly a frightening weapon .
I love the menacing look the Russian military aircraft always had . No beauty but there is some sort of X factor going on. The TU-95 is a case in point. Great vid.
The fact that one these Tu-95 carried the world's most powerful hydrogen bomb, dropped it, witness its explosion, recorded it, measured it and flew back to base safely is enough for me to convince that this thing is a nightmare.
Fantastic film clip , what an absolute beast of an aircraft the TU - 95 is. I have always been interested in Russian Military Aviation, I once saw a TU - 95 on the tarmac in Indonesia in the 1980's and it was an impressive and unexpected bonus to actually see one. I will save this clip to my collection, thankyou.
First flown in 1952, the Tu-95 entered service with the Long-Range Aviation of the Soviet Air Forces in 1956 and was first used in combat in 2015. It is expected to serve the Russian Aerospace Forces until at least 2040. The aircraft has four Kuznetsov NK-12 engines with contra-rotating propellers. It is the only propeller-powered strategic bomber still in operational use today. The Tu-95 is one of the loudest military aircraft, particularly because the tips of the propeller blades move faster than the speed of sound.
They had one of these doing takeoff, landing and low fly-by at the Royal International Air Tattoo. It remains one of the loudest planes I've heard. The noise from the propellors felt like Cozy Powell doing a drum solo on your chest.
This was its biggest drawback. When it did sorties over the North Atlantic, submarines could hear it WITHOUT listening devices and would dive deeper and drastically change course to evade them.
@@nikk2472 they are meant for high altitude ground attack, reconnaissance, and bombardment in areas like Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan where the anti-air threat is non existent at high altitudes
The MiG 25 has been retired in Russia, though curiously, Syria and Algeria still have a couple flying. Only its successor, the MiG 31, remains in service in the interceptor role.
In my city, this plane was handed over to the rescue services . Once I was near the airfield where he was based ,I heard his approach in almost a minute ,he flew over me like a fairy-tale dragon, 100 meters from the ground ... huge... covered the floor of the sky with my wings and this sound ....)
...Tupolev Tu-95 gran avión, robusto y muy confiable, tengo 61 años y soy aficionado a la aviación, y no recuerdo de accidentes sufridos por un Tu-95, que es un avión más viejo que yo...
I'm in the middle of the Great Lakes region and I was working in my back yard one day and heard what sounded like jet exhaust and propellers. I thought it must be a Herc because Canadian Forces C-130's sometimes land at our airport. I look up and see 4 propellers and swept back wings. I knew that could only be one thing, a Tu-95. This was back when US/Russia relationships were better so I figured it came from Oshkosh at the time. It was heading straight north and kind of low so I figured it fueled up at Kinross (formerly Kinchelo). Probably heading to Murmask.

The venerable TU95, a plane that shouldn’t be but is,,,, Effien marvellous design and it makes me wonder about the stories coming out a few years ago about stress and fatigue cracking was a red herring
My favorite Soviet-era aircraft. Bears, like B-36s, don't actually take off; they just taxi really fast, and the curvature of the Earth takes the ground out from under them 😀
I am told that we are not supposed to like the Russians but they do make some beautiful aircraft. Would be a hard choice deciding having this or a B58 Hustler in my back yard.
I've always been fascinated by these - even when I considered the Russians to be an enemy in the 1990s due to the books in the library being from the 1980s.
You guys cant imagine how loud they are in real life. Was riding near Kubinka air base while one of those was landing, almost exploded my ears with sound
Just have a look over this, my friends ! A reborn Tu-114 called " Tu-264" with the general same specs of Tu-114, except for the cell stretched up from 54,10 meters to 56,10 meters, turboprop engines replaced by NK-12 MA ( An-22 Anthei engines, which are the most logical issue to TV-16 project, supposed to fit withTu-96 high-altitude prototype) increasing the power from 14795 hp to 150000 hp !) Maximal top speed should be increased around from 878 km/h up to 945/960 km/h, back- to- forward nose landing gear ! As propellers will be larger ( 5,60 to 6,20 m diameter), wing location would evolve from low to mid position, increasing stability and agility, and limitating the stretching of main landing gear from 30 to 60 centimeters, making total height from 15,50 m to 16,10 meters max ! Still in limit to use standard boarding scales. Else, negative dihedral of middle located wings will give the plane the worrisome " war machine looking" of his big brothers Tu-95 and Tu-142 while lining the propellers on the same facing level ! Don't kid folks ! It's a Russian Machine ! It's have to be as serious, severe, beautifull and impressive looking as efficient, solid, powerfull and... perfect ! Else, aviation afficionados would enjoy fly with only to ear the NK-12 song !
Interesting that two old warbirds, the TU-95 and the B-52, are still at it six decades after they were designed. Fortunately, neither have been used for the mission they were designed for. Worth noting that the original spec for what became the B-52 called for turboprops.
That is pretty interesting. Makes sense in my mind though. The soviets seemed to tend to build a bunch of stuff that they knew worked and just keep building it with only minor changes to design. While the US seemed to re-tool and change the design or make a new thing completely. That is why the Soviet produced Nixie tubes up until the 80s, if it isnt broken dont fix it. Another good example is the UAZ, its still made today. Compare that to us military light vehicles.
@@josephvanas6352 The Tu95MS is a new aircraft, compared to the "Tu-95 Bear". The Tu-95 is not in Russian service since early 90s. The Tu-95MS is a modified Tu-142MK, made for long range Russian Aviation. New wing, new engines, new airframe and systems, first flight in 1979, production in Taganrog and Samara between 80s and middle 90s.
@@riccardosmirnov5063 ah alright, I know next to nothing about Russian or US military aircraft other than identification. That is pretty neat that it was updated that recently, well at least compared to the us with the B-52H being from the 60s
Indeed an amazing airplane. The machine of the Armagedon. They are the best bombers. They use counter-rotating turbo-props known for their improved efficiency. For bomb transport, perhaps a better solution then the pure jets. Slower, more efficient but the drawback is they need more maintenance.

Splendid aircraft, decades old and still serving with credit, there is no equivalent in the west, credit to its Soviet designers.
Creatures!!! Spectacular!
One of the extremely few propeller planes that doesn’t have straight wings.
Because the 4*15000 HP engines make it as fast as a jet plane
@@hansgeorgzauner1435 ikr
There's not much straight on it really too your eyes. Just grab all these different sizes & bash 'em together!
@@seltaeb3302 american?
Hands down my favorite aircraft! lucky you if she flies around your home skies.
Thanks for the video...i love to see the Bears at work in their natural habitat 😊👍
:-)
Спасиба А.Туполеву!
This has to be my favorite plane.. next to the F4 Phantom.. awesome machine!
This plane screams 'Soviet Cold War' to me.
Thanks for the video.
☮
If this aircraft had no markings at all on it, you would STILL know it was Russian! Looks at it, it’s amazing!
What a magnificent airplane! Really cool!
This plane looks like it could handle a hurricane and still make it out just fine.
Nah ya just need one missile man
@@charliebrown1134 you dont get the jokes man

I am told that we are not supposed to like the Russians but they do make some beautiful aircraft.
Would be a hard choice deciding having this or a B58 Hustler in my back yard.
Ahh! Thies old propeller planes. So Magnificent
Fantastic video of a truly amazing aircraft! Excellent.
ソ連時代から現在でも、日本に飛んで来て領空侵犯する爆撃機だけど、すごく格好良い機体だと思う。１９５０年代にデビューしたとは思えない完成度の高さ。
I love 'the Bear.' Maybe the fastest plane using propellers in the world! And the noisiest airplane ever!
An amazing aircraft. What a beauty.
At end it shows how loud it can be even at 45,000ft high thanks to it's contra-rotating props and going near 600mph speeds!!
TU 160 Piękny samolot -dzieło!
Красота...
спасибо за фильм
What a wonderful beast? This is my favourite aircraft ! Old but practical and effective..
,, Медвежата" вышли погулять...
Если эти медвежата выйдут погулять, то половина планеты просто отколется.
Q hermosa maquina,es espectacular verla despegar!!!
The Soviets liked their planes LOUD!
You are living in the Stone Age when you don’t even know all turboprops are equally loud lol
É só na minha modesta opinião, a aeronave mais elegante do mundo.
Eine Schönheit.....Russische Flugzeugingenieurs Kunst vom Feinsten....
Thank you for making this video.
In service since 1956. Russian planes kind of have a steam punk vibe to them (in my opinion).
I've always been fascinated by these - even when I considered the Russians to be an enemy in the 1990s due to the books in the library being from the 1980s.
Real enemy lives south from you
@@phreph1 No they don't.
The Russians are the enemy tf you mean bro
You guys cant imagine how loud they are in real life. Was riding near Kubinka air base while one of those was landing, almost exploded my ears with sound
Beautiful creature......
I love aviation man that thing is a ducking beast of a machine.
Those propellers sure can play Havoc with your eyes very mesmerizing
Artificial Lion, Roaring with this freaking amazing engine. OMG such a great bomber. I love it!
Absolutely beautiful!
absolutely gorgeous aircraft, a worthy rival to our B-52s
I absolutely love this airplane.
And the roar of the engines is so soothing, I immediately want peace and quiet
In a real fight vs Russians US pilots will shit in their pants
TY 95 , B52 là những cỗ máy hoàn hảo 👍 !
The planes interior is painted the same color as my room at the Holiday Inn was in 1963...
They paint it like that because it's easier on the pilots eyes.
Just have a look over this, my friends ! A reborn Tu-114 called " Tu-264" with the general same specs of Tu-114, except for the cell stretched up from 54,10 meters to 56,10 meters, turboprop engines replaced by NK-12 MA ( An-22 Anthei engines, which are the most logical issue to TV-16 project, supposed to fit withTu-96 high-altitude prototype) increasing the power from 14795 hp to 150000 hp !) Maximal top speed should be increased around from 878 km/h up to 945/960 km/h, back- to- forward nose landing gear ! As propellers will be larger ( 5,60 to 6,20 m diameter), wing location would evolve from low to mid position, increasing stability and agility, and limitating the stretching of main landing gear from 30 to 60 centimeters, making total height from 15,50 m to 16,10 meters max ! Still in limit to use standard boarding scales. Else, negative dihedral of middle located wings will give the plane the worrisome " war machine looking" of his big brothers Tu-95 and Tu-142 while lining the propellers on the same facing level ! Don't kid folks ! It's a Russian Machine ! It's have to be as serious, severe, beautifull and impressive looking as efficient, solid, powerfull and... perfect !
Else, aviation afficionados would enjoy fly with only to ear the NK-12 song !
I really liked the video!
A beautiful airplane.
The Nuclear Bear ❤
Interesting that two old warbirds, the TU-95 and the B-52, are still at it six decades after they were designed. Fortunately, neither have been used for the mission they were designed for.
Worth noting that the original spec for what became the B-52 called for turboprops.
The Tu-95MS and MSM today in Russian service have, on average, 15-20 years LESS than the last B-52H.
That is pretty interesting. Makes sense in my mind though. The soviets seemed to tend to build a bunch of stuff that they knew worked and just keep building it with only minor changes to design. While the US seemed to re-tool and change the design or make a new thing completely. That is why the Soviet produced Nixie tubes up until the 80s, if it isnt broken dont fix it. Another good example is the UAZ, its still made today. Compare that to us military light vehicles.
@@josephvanas6352 The Tu95MS is a new aircraft, compared to the "Tu-95 Bear". The Tu-95 is not in Russian service since early 90s. The Tu-95MS is a modified Tu-142MK, made for long range Russian Aviation. New wing, new engines, new airframe and systems, first flight in 1979, production in Taganrog and Samara between 80s and middle 90s.
@@riccardosmirnov5063 ah alright, I know next to nothing about Russian or US military aircraft other than identification. That is pretty neat that it was updated that recently, well at least compared to the us with the B-52H being from the 60s
sounds like piston engines when at full power because of the props going supersonic. crazy.
Amazing. One of the best aircraft ever built.
Says who ?
Paul Van Tries says dude above
Flew on Tupolyov prop jets in USSR...amazing beasts for sure
Indeed an amazing airplane. The machine of the Armagedon. They are the best bombers. They use counter-rotating turbo-props known for their improved efficiency. For bomb transport, perhaps a better solution then the pure jets. Slower, more efficient but the drawback is they need more maintenance.
Будемо летіти ! Будемо бомбити !Гасло ,,Слава УКРАЇНІ,, ! ГЕРОЯМ СЛАВА!!!
А при чем тут Украина, у вас уже давно ничего не летает, хотя осталось от СССР 11 ту 160, вы их распилили по приказу из Вашингтона, даже продать их вам не разрешили.
