The Il-18 must be it then.Pakistan acquired a squadron of them from china but were retired in two years time.Can any one post a pic?

Maybe it was a Russian Myaschiev?

mm...close..but it had more boxed windows..it wasnt just one line of em..man..i cant find the picture either nothing similar but that Il-18 is quite similar..just that it had more windows on the face side like those and well..a more rounded nose than a pointy one.

Maybe the ones pakistan got were modified or something? cuz these do look quite similar.

That's the IL-76 Shamayel not the IL-18 tactical bomber.

 

[gf0012-aust]

No offence intended, but any country that stole a B52 would have been bombed a little to send a rather significant message about ownership issues.

This isn't like the situation of 1944 when the Russians kept a couple of stricken B29's to reverse engineer and this start their own bomber industry. The US would react badly to something like this.

The irony is that Russia's Tupolev bombers have their ancestory in Boeing bombers.

Yeah I thought he meant IL-76.
Anyways Majin....stop this nonsense now. Ain't no way this can be proved unless accompanied by a picture or a news report from a credible source. So everybody just take a chill pill.

The picture of the B-52s are the ones that are used for attrition for spares.They are not dying out but are used as supply for spares.

They are being demolished as per treaty and this is done in a manner that can be verified (by russians) from space.
