Tu-95

The Tupolev Tu-95 is a Soviet-era strategic bomber and missile platform powered by turboprop engines, designed by the Tupolev design bureau in the late 1940s and early 1950s under Andrei Tupolev and his team. It entered service in 1956 and became the first series-produced bomber with swept wings, capable of intercontinental missions. The aircraft remains in service with the Russian Aerospace Forces, where it is used to launch cruise missiles.
