Another Tu-95MS transferred to the military department upon completion of modernization

On Monday, the United Aircraft Manufacturing Corporation (KLA) handed over to the Ministry of Defense another strategic bomber Tu-95MS, reports MIC with reference to the press service of the KLA.

“Since the beginning of the modernization work, more than ten aircraft have been transferred to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation,” the release says.

It is noted that "the Tupolev company specialists conducted modernization works on the Tu-95 within the framework of a state contract."

According to the press service, "the aircraft replaced the electronic equipment, which will improve the efficiency of the target application of the aviation complex, as well as significantly extend its service life."

Let the acceptance technicians check the machine properly before operating ... And there were cases after the upgrade ...

They write that after modernization they will be able to:

“Tu-95MS can carry up to 8 missiles X-101 on an external sling. 4 pylons with pairwise suspended missiles are placed under the wing. The increased length of the missiles compared to the X-55 makes it impossible to place them in the internal compartment of the Tu-95MS.

The modernized Tu-160 strategic bombers will carry 12 X-101 missiles in two weapon bays. It is assumed that the rearmament of the Tu-160 with these ultra-modern products of the domestic defense industry will increase the striking power of long-range aviation by an order of magnitude. "

I agree, thanks for the amendments. Brevity is not talented for the resource.
According to the photo - 2007 - this is apparently the beginning of the first test flights.

In 2007, the following works were completed:
1. Participation in the implementation of the GSI program of the aircraft with the product "504B" to obtain a preliminary opinion;
2. Calculation of the stress-strain state of the screw attachment site, development (adjustment) of the design and design documentation for engine and screw installation, production of prototype AV-60T rotor blades for testing manufacturing technology and laboratory bench tests, manufacturing of parts for the AV-60T rotor, revision stands for ground testing;
3. The manufacture of propeller blades AB-60T for the equipment of engines mounted on an airplane. Conducting laboratory bench tests of rotor blades AB-60T;
4. Carrying out motor-bench and equivalent cyclic tests of one NK-12MP engine equipped with an AV-60T screw, performing modifications on engines according to test results;
5. Comprehensive debugging of SVVI-021-16 at the stand of OKB Elektroavtomatika, carrying out improvements to the equipment, adjusting the design documentation. Supply of SVVI 021-16 sets to the KPM-1420 stand, for airplanes;
6. Finalization of the KPM-1420 stand, the release of the ETD TD, the PNM in the joint operation modes K-016 and SVVI-021-16 at the KPM-1420 stand, preparation of the aircraft for the installation of SVVI-021-16, installation of SVVI-021-16 on plane;
7. Participation in the implementation of the GSI aircraft with SVVI-021-16;
8. Correction of RKD according to the results of the GSI of an aircraft with SVVI-021-16, revision of the complex according to the results of the GSI, execution of a decision to issue a bulletin on the completion of aircraft with SVVI-021-16

When I wrote, I meant a specific plane in the photo of 2009. And so, EMNIP, deliveries of the upgraded Tu-95MSM to operation began only this year. Correct if not so.

And I recall the expression of Ivanov when he was the Ministry of Defense. We do not need them, they are outdated, we will remake some of them into anti-submarine ones. How to convert to anti-submarine if submarines when immersed hears their engines? Now it turned out that we are not partners at all and we will need them. You cannot write off such a technique without replacement.

when he said that.

At the beginning of February 2007, Defense Ministry SB Ivanov, speaking at the "government hour" in the State Duma, announced that the total number of Tu-95 and Tu-160 strategic bombers would be maintained at 50 units.
Unfortunately, this is what happens - 16 Tu-160 and about 32-35 TU-95MS, upgraded to the level of Tu-95MSM.

[aleks 62 next]

.... How to convert to anti-submarine if the submarine hears their engines when immersed. ...

... Yes, she (submarine) does not hear anything .... Even under the Soviet Union, the Tu-95 went to the ocean for a day - they played the role of repeaters for the submarine .... The boat works from under the water on ultra-long waves ... at the "carcass" the antenna was towed several kilometers away ....

How to convert to anti-submarine if submarines when immersed hears their engines?

By the way, the Tu-95MS is a slightly redesigned Tu-142, but it is just one of the main anti-submarine aircraft in our Navy. And all these stories about submarines and the sound of propellers under water are already tired of honestly.
Tu-95MS is a very successful aircraft and, with proper modernization, can serve for a long time.

It is understandable to change the electronics there, change the hydraulics with the mechanics. And how do you deal with metal fatigue of "supporting structures"?

[clidon]

So the cars are not so old (the 80s and the beginning of the 90s) we still have fighter jets, helicopters, etc. of those times fly around with might and main. 10 years I think the resource is enough.

You cannot remember this plane about 50 years ago. If interested, then rummage on the Internet for the years of release of the Tu-95MS.
I myself began to serve on the Tu-95VK, and then took the Tu-95MS at the plant in Samara in 87-88. This aircraft is not a modernization of the old Tu-95 modifications; it is a Tu-142-based aircraft launched from scratch and not all of these aircraft are older than the Tu-160.

Does not change .
Serial production of the Tu-95MS was completed in 1992 (a total of 90 aircraft were produced).

To be precise, we took the last aircraft in '92, but they could be called the last conditionally due to different life situations. But really, the last episodes were in 1991 and, by an amazing coincidence, they suddenly found themselves in Ukraine in Uzin on the eve of the collapse of the USSR. I had to rescue them from there in 99.

So what can

The Tu-95MS differs from the Tu-95 up to the modification of the Tu-95-K-22, inclusive of the landing gear, flaps, stabilizers, and eventually dimensions. Well, further in the text ... Even the engines are somewhat different. I repeat once again - this aircraft was made on the basis of the Tu-142MK. Although for the bulk of those present on this site, all these types of aircraft are the same - Tu-95 and cannot even be distinguished from each other by their external features. Well, if they only look with surprise at the "Liana" with a mushroom above the fuselage, and learn that this aircraft was in service with us long before the American AWACS and they were stationed in Siauliai.

You insist on 46 years of memory instead of 50. Well, maybe you will achieve a worthy goal. But for example, the wingspan is the same, and really not everyone can distinguish the difference of 3,19 m from the length of the fuselage against the background of the wingspan. However, some will be able to calculate the number and location of guns, to distinguish between the shape and design of the nose fairing and the cockpit. Well, probably Tu-142 will be able to identify, for example, by a magnetometer on the keel.

And the "Liana" is the Tu-126, created on the basis of the Tu-114. Of course somewhat similar, but larger in size.

Well, here's another "compress" on the "hot heads" of the West! Treat so treat! Once, in a conversation with a Tu-95 commander, I learned that a breakthrough to the US coast of only a pair of "Bears" could lead to losses unacceptable to them (the US), and this conversation took place in 1987! Considering what kind of modernization the Tu-95MS has undergone during this time, I think there will not be anyone willing to test their power! Glory to the Air Force of Russia!

Oh, he would have to replace his blades with saber-shaped ones and he would fly faster than 920km \ h. And work was underway on a supersonic propeller for him. But I didn’t even hear anything about experimental ones anywhere in the world.

If a propeller-driven aircraft is supersonic, then at what linear speed should the blades rotate? Somewhere around 2M? You are cruelly admanuli.

In vain, the US is laughing at the promising B3 bomber about to install several missiles for self-defense. Missiles may well already be installed on B2. AFAR on B2 is, the weight of Aim-120 is only 160 kilograms. A bomber may well take several missiles on board. Nobody has seen the exact B2 plans; there may well be hidden niches.

Watch from 3: 23 It is almost imperceptible that there is a docking hose docking place, the panel flips over after refueling and you cannot say that there is some kind of hatch there.
