Finally: Russia's Tu-95MSM Bear Upgraded to Double Missile Load.
The Cold War-era Tupolev Tu-95 “Bear” is one of the oldest aircraft designs in active service with the Russian Air and Space Force (RuASF), and it remains the only propeller-driven in operation today. Despite its age, however, this Bear has some serious fight yet and shows no signs of being retired. In fact, the RuASF has continued to roll out modernizations that will keep the aircraft flying with added capability beyond its original role to drop unguided bombs.
