Tu-95MS "ogofeshat"
Currently, the coordinates of the targets are laid down in the memory of the rockets at the aerodrome even before the rocket carrier’s takeoff. The new system will work as follows. From the ground, using a special terminal, transmit the coordinates of the target on the plane. The onboard SVP system calculates all the parameters and lays down the flight mission in the head of the missile guidance. Its launch carries the crew of the aircraft.
As explained in the military department, the development of the SVP for the Tu-95MS was carried out by Hephaestus and T as part of the initiative work. Recently, she entered the long-term development plan of the Russian far aviation.
Currently, the SVP is part of the equipment of the Russian Su-24М front-line bombers, the Su-33 carrier-based fighters, and Tu-22М3 long-range bombers. In the army, the renewed planes are called "fires." They demonstrated their unique capabilities in the framework of the operation of the Russian Aerospace Force in Syria. The SVP makes it possible to eliminate terrorist objects with unguided high-explosive bombs with an accuracy that is not inferior to guided missiles. On the ground, targets are discovered by special operations forces. On the electronic map, they indicate the point to be hit, as well as the target parameters, after which the information is transmitted on board the aircraft.
As an independent military expert, Anton Lavrov, believes, the widespread opinion about the SVP as a normal sight is wrong, because in fact it is a network-centric automated control system that provides for the unification of all participants into a single information space.
In his opinion, the Tu-95MS with SVPs capable of operating at a considerable distance from home airfields will significantly expand the range of operations, including special operations raids.
The Tu-95MS is an updated version of the Soviet strategic bomber Tu-95, which was put into service at the end of the 1950s. The car received a new wing, as well as more economical turboprop engines NK-12MP. The first flight of the MC made in 1979 year. And two years later their serial production began.
Before 1992, about a hundred updated strategic missile carriers were launched. At present, the 60 Tu-95MS is in service with the VKS of Russia. The flight range of the Bear without refueling in the air is more than 10 thousand km. The machine’s ammunition is eight X-555 or X-101 cruise missiles.
