SOVIET MIDAS TANKER REFUELING BEAR BOMBER
by Richard J. Terry, 1988
The MIDAS tanker aircraft, which became operational in 1987, was used to support strategic bombers such as the BEAR H (pictured here) and possibly tactical and air defense aircraft. In peacetime, in-flight refueling extended the Soviets' reach from their homeland.
