Tu-95M (I'm assuming the model)
@Tsar Vladimir Putin is that a 95 or a 142?
It's kinda hard to tell because of how far away it is from the camera.
95
Theres the radar thing in the front
142s have a navigators post instead and the radar is installed somewhere else
Ok just wanted to be sure I was correct
Its a Tu-95MS
To be more precise
The props on it while in motion are mesmerizing.
Indeed
They are loud because the props break the sound barrier all the time while rotating
A true workhorse like the B 52, Huey, and Mi 8
It does the job
Indeed. It has the most powerful turboprops ever.
They're an amazing piece of aeronautic engineering.
That thing is tall as hell
Where do you keep it?
I keep it on its side on my super wide clothes dresser
The rocket is just over 3 ft tall
Yep it's 39 inches
nice B-117
Nice
It's still interesting that it's called the F-117 but it is not at all a fighter.
Like a2a
It was designated a fighter because the US has treaty obligations that limit the number of "strategic bombers" (B) we are allowed to operate.
Ah, loopholes
The F-111 is probably designated a fighter for that same reason
Even though the F-111 is a medium bomber.
Shoutout to the B1 for being an absolute CHAD of a bomber
Bigger payload than the b52, and capable of some pretty crazy speeds
It used to be able to carry 66 tons of bombs.
Yeah. 66 tons.
The b-1a was amazing
Pity they cancelled it and the redesign is lame by comparison
Meh. B-1B is stealthier.
