Tupolev Tu-128 Heavy Interceptor 

Hard to believe how big it was

Flying SAM battery.

wow you can actually see a little bit of the Binder & the Backfire in this design. Their Granddaddy

Отличный был самолёт, особенно для своего времени.

Everyone especially liked that it was not necessary to climb to the height of the intercepted target, but it was possible to shoot it down, being lower by 3-4.5 thousand meters. It should be noted that, at that time, the Tu-128 weapon system was superior in all respects to the systems of all other air defense aircraft: this was the missile launch range, the height of the targets hit, the angle of attack, the range of capture and detection of targets. It was bad with low altitudes, but this shortcoming was subsequently eliminated during the modernization of the Tu-128 in the Tu-128M. The combat use of the Tu-128 involved several typical options. In one of them, the detection of targets and guidance of the interceptor was carried out with the help of ground stations or AWACS Tu-126. It should be noted that when interacting with the latest Tu-128 crews, they often had to work in semi-autonomous mode. The fact is that the radiation pattern of the Tu-126 antenna had a significant "dead zone", representing a ring that the target skipped quite quickly. In addition, the altitude of the target was determined very approximately, by position relative to the Tu-126 itself. The operator of the AWACS aircraft gave only the course and composition of the target. Having received this data, the Tu-128 crew conducted a further search on their own. With another - autonomous - version, the Tu-128 crew had to act without the help of ground or air guidance equipment. The interceptor was assigned a barrage area, usually at a level of 11,000 m and above. This height of the Tu-128 was held, unlike the Su-15 and MiG-31, "without straining", without afterburner. There was an option to use "one hundred and twenty-eighth" as part of a detachment of three to four aircraft (the so-called "17x36" method). In this case, the detachment system was a narrow or wide bearing, in which the squad commander’s plane was the last. Each crew searched in its own sector and on the radio reports to the commander about the situation. He assessed the situation and made a decision on his own or reported to the CP and acted as directed. In practice, this technique was not practiced infrequently, since it required significant flight crews, their high flight and tactical training. Sorry for the google translation :(

Russians were so ahead of time, west didn't had this kind of music until 90's

love that Bisnovat R-4 Heavy missile (mounted in Tu-128's hardpoints"

impressive . Simple and crude . power heavy long-range interceptor even not many country can produce similar stuff yet.

Отличный был комплекс. Трудновато осваивался, затом потом летчики с ним подружились прочно.

Жил п. Холодный Ключ, Семипалатинск. Как раз над головой на посадку шли! Очень красивые корабли!

Great country, great planes!

I like the music background, its fit to that TU-128

Awesome aircraft. Needed to be with those areas of Siberia to cover.

Awesome 👍

прекрасные аппараты!

Хороший клип!

2:30 its a diesel powered plane

I'm such a sucker for unique or quirky aircraft.

It's hard to believe, looking at the Russian TU-128 from the outside that this was a plane designed specifically to knock down in-coming enemy bombers. This Russian TU-128 Heavy Interceptor was a bomber size airplane with jet fighter speed. This plane was in dire need of a gun. No Gun, just 4-missiles for taking down bombers, that had no escort. Like our first production Phantoms, no gun, no way to defend itself from attacking aircraft, because of frequent missile failure at that time (late 60's). Mini-gun added, problem resolved. The biggest jet fighter by a substantial margin, the Tu-128, it even dwarfed our Phantom (62' lgth). and our Thunder Chief (64' lgth). Its use could have been expanded by the addition of a gun, I'm kinda glad they didn't.

The largest fighter aircraft ever.

Красавцы

World most devastated bombers ! Tu -128

Hey Yolkhere what music did you use in this video? Ps: You’re still making great content, thanks for the video!

man the soviets had both quality and quantity

72-й гвардейский авиационный Полоцкий ордена Суворова полк, Амдерма. Почти 20 лет были на вооружении, потом уже на МиГ-31 заменили.

Служил срочную 1976-1978 обслуживал Ту-128 (АО) г.Жана Семей (Семипалатинск)

dark and deep... I like it

Love this video

Très bel avions comme j'aime, racé mastoc et volumineux à deux réacteurs (comme le Mig 25). Je ne connaissais pas cet appareil qui me rappelle le "Flagon". VIVE LA FRANCE !!!!!!!!!!

amazing !

TE AAAAMMMMMMMMOOOOO RRRRUUUUUUSSSSSSIIIIIIIIAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..... Saludos cordiales desde el PETÉN GUATEMALA!!!!!!!.....

The definition of restricted cockpit νiew.

Eselent vídeo batida sombria Tupolev viva o VELHO mundo curtindo 👍🔊🔊🔊☢️🇷🇺🇧🇷

k pasada de este TU- k avionaso. seguro mas rapido que mi sesna. y armados con misiles aire aire vuen video camaradas

Wery nice coold war era :)

Interesting mix

Love the music, what is it?

I Always considered soviet aircraft design was more efficiently done that US ones

Damn, she’s huge.

Аж мурашки по коже

Nice machine. Good for hunting some US bombers :) Now these tasks are covered by MiG-31.

Who the hell needs a G-suit when you "roll" in brown leather like a boss.

Tu 128 good airplane flying

Старичок, у нас в училище на аэродроме стояли. Но я с ними так и не познакомился.

Lol i was only worried about that funny jeep/car i thought its gonna topple over on turning !

K gran bombardero cuanto kisiera pilotearlo x se desía que era difícil. Este y el B 58 usler son los aviones mas vónitos de la historia

Красивый корабль был

wow

Sejak dari dahulu Russia sudah bisa membuat pesawat Super Sonic. Makanya sekarang Russia nomer 1 di dunia persenjataannya.

Aren't any more planes like these nowadays.

Cold Wars, Wars Jetz

Would have been the B-52's biggest threat had it gone hot.

Молодцы!!! Хорошая держава была!! Умели самолёты делать

Noga mi izbledela malo sam više gazio nego mirovao nisam slušao komplet doktore jer i ja znam nesto,ali doktore više poštujem nego svece kapiras ti mene

What is the name of the track?

Great video! Does anyone know music name?

Why it had to be do big? With 28 mts of length was the biggest fighter plane ever.

The Tu128 would shoot out of the sky those big lumbering BUFFs the ducks in a shooting galery.

Music?

Tu 128 is based on the design of a bomber right?

0:41 Yak 25RV Mandrake? Soviet equivalent to the Canberra RB-57D

Остатки былого величия .

👍

Originally it was a bomber!

Song name?

Tu-128

Back then the Soviets had it some technology that Americans just had discovered .the only thing Americans have invented is McDonald’s and gay parades🙈 but not the burgers

This is like a f111 ardvark on stereotypes

What is the music title from this vid?

skyships has a video about these interceptors ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i1iiYfgP2lM.html (I left a link to this video there too) у skyships вошло видео об этих перехватчиках ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i1iiYfgP2lM.html (я там оставил ссылку и на это видео)

2:32 наверне зимнее топливо залили

What is the music

круто, фылм как баевик, емоциално

Argentina wanted to purchase those planes in the early 80 but the soviet didn`t know how to sent them to South America because of the size of the planes.

Gestern Nacht wurde ich Pegasus Galaktica 7 Cyborg Darcho Jandreoski international Staaten ausgefragt was genau mit den Weltraum Raumschiffe und Battlefield Weltraum Raumschiffe und die Weltraum Raumschiffe Transporter los ist weil sie Pegasus Galaktica 7 Cyborg Darcho Jandreoski besitzen Transporter die wollten das gestern nacht genau wissen wie das Funkzioniert - heute wissen die internationale Staaten Army / Armija Zentralen mehr

Вывод - советская пропаганда слила из-за хреновой музыки. Саундтрек решает.

what a huge monstrosity..both in the missiles and the air frame...in the west we had Miniaturized electronics via the solid state transmitters and receivers hence the popular hand held transit er radios that were so popular in the early and mid sixties. hence smaller radars and missiles. the Russians were still in the huge vacuum tubed era hence the huge missiles and aircraft.

That thing couldn't intercept a Cessna.

Estos rusos van n serio

Nice video . Could have done without the annoying music tho. Still that's what mute button is for

waooo.I praise Russians.They are great.

Кажется шлемы пилотов не соответствуют той эпохе. В те времена они были кожаные-черные, без пластика

Le faltaron motores más potentes

Better without the lame music.

West has no moral

СССР развалился, как и все их самолёты😂

it's nothing compared to US B-2 SPIRIT hahahahaha!!

👍
