Russian military analyst Vladimir Tuchkov explains why the Russian Defense Ministry continues to order new Tupolev Tu-95 turboprop-powered strategic bombers, which entered into service in the Soviet (and then Russian) air forces over 60 years ago.
Last week, Tupolev Joint Stock Company director general Alexander Konyukhov told Russian media that the Defense Ministry will soon receive seven Tu-95MS strategic cruise missile carriers for the country's Aerospace Defense Forces. The delivery will add to a Tu-95MS plane delivered to the military in April.
