Aviation history

The TU-95 “Bear” is regularly intercepted in European and American airspace. This has been the case for decades. Tupolev began developing the machine as early as 1951. Less than a year and a half later, the first prototype was already flying, and series production began in 1956. The Bear remains an important aircraft for the Russian Air Force. The model resembles the American B-52. Both aircraft have been in service for over fifty years. Both have been updated over the years. This means that machines that are more than half a century old are still able to meet modern technologies. TU-95 has more than fifteen versions in total. The bear is expected to remain in service for a while.
