Russian bombers want to equip with modern equipment.

Despite the fact that the Tu-95 strategic bombers are among the oldest in the arsenal of Russian VCS, the specialists seriously thought about upgrading these planes and continuing their operation for at least another 15 years.

At the moment, it is known that they want to replace flight and navigation equipment in strategic Tu-95 bombers, which will allow the crews of these aircraft to accurately reach a given position, and minimize the likelihood of any error. According to preliminary data, the Russian strategic bombers Tu-95 are supposed to be kept in service with the Russian Aerospace Forces until 2035, after which these aircraft, with a high degree of probability, will be written off as obsolete and physically worn out.

"The Tu-95 bomber is a wonderful airplane! During the strikes against terrorists in Syria, these bombers demonstrated the highest effectiveness of their application. Unfortunately, these planes are already morally obsolete, especially if we take into account the fact that they began to be operated in the distant 1956 year ", - the expert Avia.pro comments.

On the other hand, it is important to realize that The United States of America also intends to modernize its strategic bombers B-52 "Stratofortress", extending their resource to 2040 year.

* Tu-95 - Soviet and Russian turboprop strategic bomber-missile, the world's fastest aircraft with screw engines. Until now, it is the only serial bomber and missile carrier with turboprop engines in the world. It was a Soviet symbol of ensuring military-strategic parity in the Cold War.
