What an absolute aviation masterpiece this plane is. What a beast! Just listen to the mighty NK-12s! To think this can go to 925 km/h is insane. It cruises at around 700 km/h. THANK YOU FOR NOT USING MUSIC! So many other aviation videos ruined with "music". We wanna hear engines!
I seem to have read that it is the noisiest airplane ever built. Th Russians are not known for crew comfort, are they (the cabin is pressurized, yes? Is it heated?)? Was it designed by Gulag inmates? Do they still have vacuum tubes? But indeed it is awesome. I'd love to put on noise silencing headphones and maybe a WWII bomber jacket and take a ride.

I even forget exactly what the boy did which his sister had not done with the yoke that caused the problem. My real interest in those shows is in cases where somebody "cuts corners" but costs lives. Let me give you another chance to correct me: Boeing manager to his manager: "I have seen projects in the military stopped for lesser problems [than the 737 Max]" Senior manager back to his report: "In the military you don't have to make a profit." Once I corrected myself: I wrote in the guestbook at the Atomic Bomb Memorial in Hiroshima: "My father was an engineer on a B-29 that fire bombed Tokyo." Later I got his military record and it says he was a gunner and his only duty outside the continental United States was 1 month in Puerto Rico. But I have a picture of him and his crewmates and their plane from 1945 and on the fuselage is painted in large letters: "B-50". This does not make sense to me since I think the B-50 was from after the end of WWII.

The Tu-95 is the Russian equivalent to the B-52 in that like its American counterpart it entered service in the 1950s and will continue to serve until the mid-21st century. Truly a great aircraft.

Those two old ladies have outlasted a lot of aircraft that came after them, crazy. The Tu 95 and the B-52 are simply like bottles of wine in how they seem to age better each year.
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.
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.

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. 👍

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.
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.

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.
That would've been quite a sight. I live in Trenton so we see C130's every day. But things would have to be very wrong or very right to get a Tupolev here. We did have an Antonov a long time ago though

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.
Aall EADS tactical and stategical planes use the same configuration, contrapropellers, excelent fuel economy, great trust. Thanks Heinkel, who developed this engine and , most important, the gearbox.
...6 'babies' with a 65% chance of failure after launch, and with probability of hit radius of 50m (as opposed to Western ALCMs with a PoH radius of around 5-10m). Looks great in propaganda videos for the average person who knows little about military matters. Pretty useless in war fighting though...
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.

Медведюшка! Всегда радостно смотреть видео с этим красавцем!
это ведро еще типа летает🤔
@@osbourne3084 , ты я смотрю специалист по ведрам.
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!
,, Медвежата" вышли погулять...
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
Aall EADS tactical and stategical planes use the same configuration, contrapropellers, excelent fuel economy, great trust. Thanks Heinkel, who developed this engine and , most important, the gearbox.
absolutely gorgeous aircraft, a worthy rival to our B-52s
Красота...
Looks so badass
A beautiful airplane.
The Nuclear Bear ❤
TU 160 Piękny samolot -dzieło!
An amazing aircraft. What a beauty.
Beautiful creature......
Niiiiice video bro!!! Ty
mixmaster of the skies....fine looking plane
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!!
Absolutely beautiful!
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
Awesome sound !!! / fascinante sonido !!!
What an awesome machine!!
É só na minha modesta opinião, a aeronave mais elegante do mundo.
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 really liked the video!
Amazing video 😲
That's one amazing bird!👍
I love 'the Bear.' Maybe the fastest plane using propellers in the world! And the noisiest airplane ever!
GOOD JOB KAMERRAD....👍👍👍
AMAZING.....!!
sounds like piston engines when at full power because of the props going supersonic. crazy.
I dig the tu90/95s
...with the capability to carry 6 babies.
Simply perfect...
...6 'babies' with a 65% chance of failure after launch, and with probability of hit radius of 50m (as opposed to Western ALCMs with a PoH radius of around 5-10m). Looks great in propaganda videos for the average person who knows little about military matters. Pretty useless in war fighting though...
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
I absolutely love this airplane.
Flew on Tupolyov prop jets in USSR...amazing beasts for sure
