      Well, not really. I live in Moscow under their traditional rout on Grate Patriotic War Victory Day Parade (9th of May we celebrate it). So, once they had a repetition a couple days earlier in the morning, Bears came unexpected (for me). I was sleeping. I woke up in panic because of my building was literally shivering. In my first moments I opened my eyes I was terrified. I live in 9-store concrete building and it was like an earthquake! I almost shit my pants - that how it was scary. I moved to the window and realized, that it is just and 3 old trusty Bears making this grate "BUUUUUUUUZZZZ". I don't know how high they were flying, 500-800 meters, I think.

      It might be fun to joke about how loud the Tu-95MS is, but it's an deadly aircraft. Its' stealthy payloads is the deadliest part. It's doesn't need to fly close to its' enemies or targets, because it can carry Kh-101 and Kh-102 stealthy nuclear tipped cruise missiles that can be launched from 5,000km away from its' targets and enemies. The Kh-102 has an 250 kiloton nuclear tipped warhead, and each Tu-95MS can carry up to 16 Kh-101/Kh-102 cruise missiles. That's a total of 4 megaton by Bear bomber. The Bear bomber has never been used as an conventional bomber anyways. 10 Bear bomber aircrafts can deliver 40 megaton of nuclear destructive power to any of its' targets and enemies. With a total of 60-65 bombers in the Russian military arsenal, that's enough to destroy any country that threatens Russia. 260 megatons of explosive power isn't something to joke about. No one is going to hear the Bear bomber from thousands of kilometers away when it drops its' payloads anyways

      I remember heard the sound of this plane many times, when I was a little kid in south central Cuba's horse country; the sound remains audible for about 15 o 20 minutes, what intriguing me was: in any case I could see the plane! -Not even on clear days-. Only, many years after, in Luanda's airport, Angola, I had the chance to see this TU-95MS on the airfield, and also, flying at not too high altitude; immediately I recognized the sound! Mystery solved! You can watch the Cuban Film "Hombre de Maisinicu", in the lynching scene you can hear the distinct sound of a far away TU-95MS on the background! The film was shot on the Escambray mountains, located at south central Cuba.

    I have heard stories from retired Bear crewman and a vast majority of them have permanent hearing damage from those engines. No amount of hearing protection works because the sound waves pass through the head, not just through the ear canal. The pilots sat well forward and were not too bad off, but the others in the center, like the bombardier, navigator and radioman were right between the wings and bore the brunt of it.

    • @Fk67Lg
      @Fk67Lg 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Is there a jet engine in each engine used to turn the props at that high speed of rpm's? I know it is called a turboprop engine, so I believe that rules out the use of pistons. The prop tips can exceed the speed of sound, and I am unsure if a piston engine can produce that kind of rotational speed. Just ask ing, seems to me that a jet engine can easily produce such a high speed propeller rotation.

    • @smacman68
      @smacman68 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Fk67Lg From what I understand, the power generated by the jet turns a gearbox, which then turns the blades in opposite directions. It has something to do with laminar flow and makes the engine more powerful than just a jet by itself. And that turbulence is what causes the hearing damage. But, what do I know, I am in the dark too.

    • @MatterBeamTSF
      @MatterBeamTSF 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      WWII engines became so powerful that they started pushing the propeller tips to supersonic speeds. IT explains why later designs had many blades instead of the more efficient two or three: more blades means you can turn slower for the same thrust.
      These are turboprops, driven by a jet engine's turbine and geared to spin slower than the turbine.
      The turboprops are more efficient than a jet engine, by a lot. They can barely reach the speed of sound at high altitude (the plane's top speed is 925km/h) but can travel much further.

I flew B-52s for 6 years, they were significantly faster than the Tu-95, have better range, could carry more load, could fly higher and climb faster. Even a B-52G model (non-bypass J-57s) could fly 8,000 miles without air refueling, the H could go perhaps another 2,000 miles with turbofans.
      Look, I admit that both planes would be hopeless today as a penetrating bomber in contested airspace, but the B-52 performance is better in every way than a Tu-95. Specific fuel consumption is probably better in the Tu-95 (don't know for sure) but I don't think that the overall cost of operation of either aircraft is dominated by fuel cost. Both are now so old that maintenance is the major operational cost.

    May I point out that the pitch of the props apeared to be very high, almost in flag even after the engine was restarted ?

Only, many years after, in Luanda's airport, Angola, I had the chance to see this TU-95MS on the airfield, and also, flying at not too high altitude; immediately I recognized the sound! Mystery solved! You can watch the Cuban Film "Hombre de Maisinicu", in some scenes you can hear the distinct sound of a far away TU-95MS on the background! The film was shot on the Escambray mountains, located at south central Cuba.
