Video of Russian Tu-95 bomber shadowed by RAF and French fighters
First post ever to FA, but found this video fascinating: a film inside Tu-95 as it's escorted by RAF Typhoons and French Mirage jets over northern Europe. (www.youtube.com) المزيد...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Anybody read Russian?

The older I get the more world politics seems like the entire globe is still in junior high school-all bluster and macho bullsh*t. They have no intention of engaging in hostile action and neither do we...we just follow each other around, both sides flexing their muscles and wasting time and money.
Finding the apparent high pitch angle of the props very interesting!
Not so sure that I see the B29 heritage that clearly, unless a long, narrow fuselage bolted to a completely different everything else is the connection. However, I have always admired the profile, size,and demeanor of an airplane that has enough propellers to beat the atmosphere into submission. For it's day and still, it goes incredibly fast and high,PERIOD. One of my old Learjet crew chiefs used to say "props are for boats". I guess this wasn't on his radar!
Having spent time escorting Tu-95Ds, its nice to see what it looks like from the cockpit of the Bear.
