Video of Russian Tu-95 bomber shadowed by RAF and French fighters
First post ever to FA, but found this video fascinating: a film inside Tu-95 as it's escorted by RAF Typhoons and French Mirage jets over northern Europe. (www.youtube.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I am sure we have B-52's flying race tracks off their coast also.
A wonderful clear video, up close, of the counter rotating engines of the TU-95. Never having seen one up close at an air show, I can't believe how large they must be. Interesting also that the props almost look like they are in the feather position but you can hear the prop noise on the video. Nice work!
"you feel like your back in the 80's during the Cold War!!!"
Or the '50s, '60s or '70s. I guess I have a few years on you :)

Artifact, look near the engine, the hub is turning much faster.
The older I get the more world politics seems like the entire globe is still in junior high school-all bluster and macho bullsh*t. They have no intention of engaging in hostile action and neither do we...we just follow each other around, both sides flexing their muscles and wasting time and money.
One thing the Russians do is counter-rotating props. Fixed wing and helos. It does have some advantages. The video looks that way simply because of the shutter speed of the camera. Probably an iPhone :)
Most unusual. I'm so used to seeing photos of the Bears from the cockpits of our guys. Must be a new Cold War on the horizon. I have read that the Russians are starting up their old tactics of probing the defense of the potential "enemy".
