Да, инженеры и рабочие собиравшие эти самолеты в 1950- е годы, ели, может, одно ( 1) пирожное в год. Потому, что в советской провинции 1950- х пирожные почти не продавались. Шоколад ( самый простой) дарили только детям на день рождения и на Новый Год. Но главные советские конструкторы ( например, Туполев, именем которого и назван этот самолет) оплачивались очень хорошо и получали очень большой доход.
To those who don't know, analog gauges were normal in all aircraft, Russian, Western or whatever until the mid 80s. I once flew in a Westland Seaking in 1985, cockpit looked similar, but all black gauges. The first "glass" cockpit I saw was in a Airbus A300 in 1985. Most gauges were still analog, but augmented with tiny CRT screen (green monochromatic ones if I remember correctly). So yeah this looks old school now, but I'm sure there's plenty of smaller aircraft that have all analog gauges.
Fun fact, even Tu-95s produced in 1994 has almost same cockpit layout and panel equipment as this one has. Russian has motto: "if it works, do not touch it". Fact is, that if you would compare Тu-95MSM (recent most sophisticated upgreade from 2020) it will still looks obsolete in comparison with B-52H upgraded in 90s. But in reality, Tu-95MSM is far more advanced under those panels than upgraded B-52H and it is on level planned for B-52J.
Flight deck instrument layout and controls appear to be a combination of WWII and more modern technology. Around 4:12 it looks like a little kitchenette with oven, toaster and drink dispenser, plus first aid station.
Wow ! I'm very impressed by the turboprop throttles : 4 for pilot flying, 4 for pilot monitoring and 8 for engineer ! I don't think those throttles are electrical so I imagine the number if cables😳
In fact, on tupboprops engine RPM are mostly constant, due to narrow engine efficiency range, so you controlling its output by changing the propeller pitch. Only engineer's position has actual throttles to handle engine RPM.
As a former US navy pilot, the things that stand out to me: - that odd turquoise color - throttles not in a center console between the pilots, but each pilot with his own set, pilot to the left, copilot to the right. - very very 1960s buttons, switches, CRT displays. - attitude instruments (artificial horizon). In western planes, the plane symbol stays fixed, and the horizon indicator moves up & down to indicate pitch, and rolls left and right to indicate bank. In soviet planes, it's the other way 'round. - the interior looks very worn, but not vandalized or looted. So I wonder if this is an operational bird. If so, I'm not hearing the noise I'd expect from an operational airfield.
@@ValeriyRogachev He did say that, however, he did say *IF* it’s a working aircraft (no doubt it *could* be operational) the “if” tells me that he does not know for certain it’s an operational aircraft (which probably could)
@@wtf-hc3tp In Russia, all monuments of equipment are working. Not much :) In 2014, there were rumors that citizens of the DPR were removing T-34 tanks from pedestals, repairing them and putting them into battle.
My understanding is that The VDV doesn't have much budget for training flights. Plus if they don't bother actually doing anything at work nobody cares.
Simple, basic, functional and reliable! First or second oldest running bomber in the world? I believe it may have been the TU-95 that dropped the Tsar Bomba a 50 megaton bomb. The ground must have shook around the world!
Ohhhhh my god.i wish i couldve been there staring down the length of the crew compartment like that an just soak the atmosphere in... ❤ All the long nights flying practically blind in rough weather, or just calm easy smooth flying above the cloud deck, the steady hum of all 4 of those amazingly powerful turbo props just droning away whilst i wait for my tea...the view outside of those contra rotating props lazily whisking and waving, seemingly slowly back and forth via the optical effect resulting from them spinning so damned fast. I love this plane sooo much I love this and that sexily designed tu-16 with all its longbsexy curves like that of the silhouette of a woman. They knew how to design a soluteky gorgeous aircraft that stand the test of time againg more like a fine wine or a very smooth ligthtly sweetened tobacco ❤ Beautiful beautiful video thank you for the upload
Монопенисуально вообще, на самом деле. Умеешь летать на чём то серьёзнее Ан-2, и имеешь опыт - полетишь на чём угодно, потратив время на то, чтобы разобраться.
Can anyone tell me what the larger area aft of the cockpit is? I assume the first two areas behind cockpit seats are flight engineer and navigator, is the larger area combat engineers space?
The first two areas behind cockpit seats are flight engineer and radio operator. Aft area is for navigator and second navigator, who also do a job of a weapon systems operators
Where was this? You certainly captured some incredible footage of an aircraft of the likes which has had very few civilian visitors in its time, so many thanks for sharing. If only I could read Russian, to get a feeling for the instruments behind the pilots.
@@scottishboer3126 This is a standard soviet/russiach colour for military planes and helicopters. It should reduce fatigue and increase concentration of pilots/operatoer during operation...
Бомбовый отсек - большая часть внутреннего объëма, однако сохранилось очень мало ту-95 для бомбометания, и все они в музеях. Там сейчас находятся 2 револьверных магазина по 6 ракет, и крепежи для ещë 8-10 ракет под крыльями. Перемещатся по самолëту не получится, к концу видео показан люк для входа в хвостовую кабину. Там находится стрелок-радист и когда его уже модифицировали но не переделали в ракетоносец туда был перемещен так же оператор бомбометания
@@markdwyer314 The bomb bay is a large part of the internal volume, but very few Tu-95s have been preserved for bombing, and all of them are in museums. There are now 2 revolver magazines for 6 missiles, and fasteners for another 8-10 missiles under the wings. It will not be possible to move around the plane, by the end of the video the hatch for entering the tail cabin is shown. There is a radio operator there, and when it was already modified but not converted into a missile carrier, the bombing operator was also moved there
As a fan of the film 'Dr. Strangelove', I feel like any interior tour of a strategic bomber has to include a look at the bomb bay. Can the crew not access the bomb bay from the cabin? Maybe that was a creative license taken in the film - perhaps the B-52 has no access to the bomb bay either from the crew area.
@@mrgroot8701 The versions currently in use are more modern. MFD in the cockpits and upgraded engines. They're currently utilized as flying cruise missile platforms. They have missile carrousels installed their bomb bays.
Jesus, you couldn't even see out of the windows to fly that damn thing the dash is soo high. I'm 6'4" and I'd never see over the dash. apart from the tail that thing sits twice as high as a B52. always surprised walking around the B 52 at Warner Robbins museum just how small the B 52 actually is.
Supongo que es un ejemplar en exposición. Eso tienes teclas que un juzgado de guardia. Desde luego es un gran diseño mecánico y aeronáutico. Pero hace mucho que los relés pasaron a la.historia J
Сьемки в очень древнем. Виолетте на вечной стоянке в музее авиации в подмосковном Монино. Современные машины уже совершенно иные внутри. Но в этой машине главное звук ее двигателей. И правда отдаленно напоминающий рев медведя.
