588K views · 10K reactions | A moment of airshow history occured in 1993: the first public appearance of a Tupolev Tu-95 in the west. This was the main Soviet long-range nuclear bomber throughout the Cold War, providing much the same capability as America's B-52s. It remains very much in service today, and the type will likely remain operational into the 2040s. | PlanesTV.com | Facebook
