A good job, indeed.

@Oatmealism Erm...huh? The "noise" factor of the Tu-95 engines is one of the many bizarre cases of U.S. criticism of Soviet equipment that become established as "truth", and Western non-sense mantras. First: tell me since fucking when in modern-day warfare, is noise detection a factor in "detecting" or "tracking" enemy aircraft. Second: if used in combat today the enemy will NEVER see the Tu-95, it can launch missiles hundreds of kilometers away from its target.

@3nasacova 11.000 kw or 14.800 hp each.

@3nasacova The TU-95 uses four Samara Kuznetsov NK-12 MP turboprop engines, I cant get any info on horsepower, but i know they are pretty dang good for what they are. still, i don't see any Russians tracking the B-52 on sonar :P

[3nasacova]

@Oatmealism Correct. This plane certainly was a solution to the given problem. The problem at that time for the Russians was the B-52.

Nobody ever thought these guys were serious about pitting a propeller driven plane up against the fabled B-52.

But that is exactly what they did.

When I try to find out the actual horsepower those engines on the Bear make I still get blocked. Like I can't figure that out for myself.

I can use weight and speed to get close to the truth though, right?

[Oatmealism]

This plane might be all weather and long range - But it has a major downside that i am surprised the Russians have yet to correct. its Contra-rotating props make so much noise because as they spin the tips of the props near the speed of sound if not exceed it - creating so much nose that they can be tracked using Sonar stations used to detect and track Submarines not planes.

es ist nicht nur eine freude den roten sternzu sehen ,er wird auch vermisst.
