TANTK them. Beriev (part of UAC) performs overhaul of strategic missile carriers Tu-95MS of long-range aviation of the Russian VKS, as well as anti-submarine aircraft Tu-142М, Tu-142МЗ and Tu-142МР aviation of the Russian Navy.

Earlier, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that in the 2018 year, six strategic rocket-carrying aircraft would be included in the Russian HSC after modernization. In 2017, the aviation strategic nuclear forces were replenished with three modernized aircraft; in 2016, the Aerospace Forces received two Tu-160 and two Tu-95MS, which were renovated with modernization.

As reported, the modernization of strategic missile carriers Tu-160 and Tu-95MS is being carried out on a planned basis. The chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, Valery Gerasimov, earlier stated that “they install more powerful engines, the onboard radio-electronic equipment is transferred to the domestic element base, the range of means of destruction used is expanding.”

The Strategists Tu-95MS and Tu-160 are the air component of the nuclear triad. Tu-95MS is designed to solve percussion tasks in defeating the most important targets in remote areas and in the deep rear of continental theaters of operations.

        Well, maybe) But then again: people knew how to lay such a modernization potential in an airplane!
        Maybe not arbitrarily of course.

          Guys, don’t be stupid, there is a big difference between Tu-95 and Tu-95MS.
          Tu-95MS is the re-launch of a series of completely redesigned models in the 1981 year!

            Tu-95MS was created on the basis of the Tu-142, and that, in turn, is based on the Tu-95RC

            In fact, everything is right about the modernization potential. The basic model, developed and tested during the IVS, first managed to turn from a bomber into a target-reconnaissance reconnaissance aircraft, from it into an anti-submarine, and from an anti-submarine into a missile carrier for the ALCM DD. smile

        What engines are the new movie? Which blades? Which electronics? I have a comrade in the Ukrainian squad of these squads: the whole modernization consists in installing pylons under x101 and new radio stations. The engines are all the same NK12P which underwent overhaul (but they are old), like our NK25 which put on Tu22m3. After such a repair, then the local TEChmans bring them to mind. And then the pancake is presented as if the latest aircraft was obtained after modernization. And you echo them, where you read this nonsense only.

          I’ll also add about the reliability of tu95ms: FAILURE OF ONE ENGINE is not even considered to be AIS, it’s a common thing. The materiel part crumbles from old age, and here people carry heresy about the modernization potential. The only potential is the reproduction of the Tu160 and the deep modernization of the Tu22m3 with the installation of HK32 (I doubt it, but I keep my fingers crossed), the Tu95 is rubbish, and they upgrade it from a very bad life.

    “More powerful engines are installed on them, onboard electronic equipment is being transferred to the domestic element base, the range of weapons used is expanding. ”
    this is the main thing - we will not depend on anyone

      Well, and under the USSR they had avionics with an "imported element base"? Or under Yeltsin, the AP-15PS was redone for American radio tubes? Who wrote this? Nonsense....

    And what, there are more powerful engines than? NK-12MP? Most likely the engines are the same, but somehow modernized.

      Yes, ordinary NK12, only type after overhaul. The situation is one-on-one as with the NK25 for backfires. There are a lot of words, and how with KAPO we take away the hair on end, a junk. But on TV everything is super.

    The carcass, like the B-52, two old-timers of the record holder. Large, heavy, reliable. Do the right thing to upgrade. Interesting, but do something with noise? I read something like the memories of a strategic pilot. He complained that after a long patrol his head was still buzzing day later.

    The upgraded Bear is great! Tu-160 is only in Engels, and Tu-95 are based at various airfields ...
    Pilots of Soviet naval aviation from Vologda flew to America and Africa. And now, talking about such flights, talking heads from the press service of the Russian Defense Ministry are silent. Probably, the Tu-142 naval aviation of the Russian Federation has not been modernized for a long time or anti-submarine pilots in the country have ended ...

    According to your remark, I realized that it was "upgraded" to the MSM version, so that I could carry the X-series of the hundredth series ??
