Russia's Tu-95 Bomber Is No Joke (Even If She Is Old)

In today’s session we will discuss some reasons Why the Tu-95 Bear Has Been in Service for So Long. Best known by its NATO codename as the Bear, the Soviet Tu-95 was the most distinctive aircraft of the Cold War. It first flew in 1952, like Britain's Avro Vulcan and America's Boeing B-52, which are still in service to this day. The aircraft will be upgraded to keep it in operation until at least the 2040s, giving it a near 100-year service history in the Russian Air Force. Here are some reasons why this aircraft has been operated for so long.

Probably the main reason its still in service is due to its high reliability, like the 52, and probably lower cost to operate per hour compared to others.

@abdiganiaden 2 года назад

Also if they can be be outfitted with stand off weapons with long range cruise missiles so it doesn’t have to go into danger zone, just close enough is good enough like 52. It’s the long range missiles that keep these old bombers still in service, if no long range missiles then they would be useless.

A common misconception with people is that they think once an aircraft or military hardware in general have reached a specific age its obsolete or doesnt have a place on the modern battlefield. U have to remember, when these aircrafts were being designed, they werent just designed for back then , they were designed to be upgradable for decades to come. The range of the missiles and nukes in this thing can hit targets from far away without putting in the plane in danger of SAMs and even modern fighter jets with their limited operational fuel range

Comparing Tu 95 and B 52 I came to the following conclusions: - The B 52 consumes 4.33x more fuel - Has 4x more expensive engine response That says the B 52 is 17.33x more expensive to maintain. - B 52 is 1.14x faster - B 52 has 2.12x more the payload - The B 52 has 1.52x longer range That says the B 52 has 3.66x better features than Tu 95. Altogether Tu 95 is 4.74x more economical in performing its tasks than B 52.

Why does it have a negative dihedral angle on the main wings?

@percival5771 2 года назад

to induce instability. because its so heavy and the wings root towards teh upper half of teh fuselage cross-section that "hanging weight" makes it awfully hard to control with ailerons. therefore negative dihedral gives it that instability and thus sensitivity to roll input. mind you there is likely other reasons for this too but i imagine what i said applies to it just as much as the titanic antonov AN-225

The Tu-95MS is a cruise missile bomber born in the 70s. Its first flight is in 1979, in the city of Taganrog, into mass production from the 80s. It is basically a Navy Tu-142MK, modified for the Soviet (now Russian) Long Range Aviation. Nothing to do with a "Tu-95 Bear". The Tu-95 Bear is not in the Russian service sice early 90s..... Nothing to do also with the B-52 (the last B-52H is from 1962...), different aircraft, different purposes: the Tu-95MS is a cruise missile carrier, no bombs.

@buddyb4343 2 года назад

One of the reasons it's still in service? Perhaps because it has never gone to war. Think about it . . . In the late 60's and 70's the BUFF was flying over hostile territory with combatants doing their best to bring it down. And pretty much in every decade since, the B52 has delivered; one might argue whether for good or bad, but it was doing what it was designed to do. Now, the Bear is an interesting plane, but how many times was it really put to the test?
