BomberSoviet Union1956In service
The Tupolev Tu-95 is a Soviet four-engine turboprop bomber family with swept wings and contra-rotating propellers. The later Tu-95MS missile carrier differs from the original bomber and from earlier specialised missile-carrying variants.
Kh-101 applies to compatible modernised MS standards. Kh-22 refers to the earlier Tu-95K-22, not the illustrated Tu-95MS. Crew and performance are omitted rather than mixing variant figures.
