The Russian Strategic Bomber Tu-95 being intercepted

Back


From Russian TV. TU-95 "Bear" Strategic bomber. (Туполев Ту--95). The Tu-95 is still in service, as of 2007, and expected to remain so with the Russian Air Force until at least 2040. The Tu-95 is powered by four Kuznetsov turboprop engines, each driving contra-rotating propellers, and remains the fastest propeller-driven aircraft to go into operational use. Its wings are swept back at 35 degrees, a very sharp angle by the standards of propeller-driven aircraft.

Why do they always get intercepted?

They are long-range and they go into other countrie's territorie (US, Canada, etc.) so they get intercepted so they can shoot them down if they try to bomb a country.
