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
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.
I guess, but mach 2.2 at high altitudes is pretty cool
Especially for a freaking heavy bomber
You know what else was cool? The B-36.
Yea
Big, BIG boye
6 turning 4 burning
I like the b1 over the b2 for the psychological aspect, that thing would be terrifying screaming overhead at mach .96 (low altitude speed limit) as it decimates your position
Although the B2 is just as terrifying because you won't know if it's there.
