TU-95 Bear Bomber

The Tu-95 BEAR was
perhaps the most successful bomber produced by the Soviet aviation,
enjoying long service in a variety of roles and configurations.



It was
the only bomber deployed by any country to use turbo-prop engines,
which provided extraordinarily long endurance at speeds only slightly
less than comparable turbojet-powered heavy bombers.
