Tu-95 is a plane without any analogue. It is an intercontinental bomber with a thin and long body, swept wings and two counter-rotating propellers on each four engines. The first operational type “Bear-A” carried a free falling nuclear bomb. Tu-95K was loaded with the Soviet Union’s first air launched missile Kh-20. More than 3000 of Tu-95s were produced, they remained in service for a very long period of time and they formed the backbone of the Soviet Air Force Strategic Bomber Command. Tu-95 which remained in production for 30 years is an aviation classic together with B-52s. There are also the Tu-95MR reconnaissance and the Tu-95K anti-ship variants. Capable of carrying nuclear bombs, they were on of the first Soviet planes capable of carrying air-to-surface Soviet missiles. Tu-95s were also used as  Tu-114 passenger planes by “AEROFLOT” with minor modifications. Tu-126 is the AEW variant of the same plane.
