Soviet Menace | From The First Russian Bombers, To The Nuclear Tupolev Tu-95 Bear | Documentary
The Soviet menace. A history documentary about Russian aviation. From the origins of aircraft bombers to the nuclear Tupolev Tu-95 Bear, including the Ilya Muromets, the ANT-4, ANT-9, ANT-25, Petlyakov Pe-8, and how the Soviets stole and copied the Boeing B-29 Design.
The Tupolev Tu-95 (Russian: Туполев Ту-95; NATO reporting name: "Bear") is a large, four-engine turboprop-powered strategic bomber and missile platform. First flown in 1952, the Tu-95 entered service with the Long-Range Aviation of the Soviet Air Forces in 1956 and was first used in combat in 2015. It is expected to serve the Russian Aerospace Forces until at least 2040.

Andreï Tupolev
In 1937, Tupolev was arrested together with Vladimir Petlyakov and the entire directorate of the TsAGI and EDO on trumped up charges of sabotage, espionage and of aiding the Russian Fascist Party. Many of his colleagues were executed. In 1939, Tupolev was moved from a prison to an NKVD sharashka for aircraft designers in Bolshevo near Moscow, where many ex-TsAGI people had already been sent to work.

The Soviet menace. A history documentary about Russian aviation. From the origins of aircraft bombers to the nuclear Tupolev Tu-95 Bear, including the Ilya Muromets, the ANT-4, ANT-9, ANT-25, Petlyakov Pe-8, and how the Soviets stole and copied the Boeing B-29 Design.
The Tupolev Tu-95 (Russian: Туполев Ту-95; NATO reporting name: "Bear") is a large, four-engine turboprop-powered strategic bomber and missile platform. First flown in 1952, the Tu-95 entered service with the Long-Range Aviation of the Soviet Air Forces in 1956 and was first used in combat in 2015. It is expected to serve the Russian Aerospace Forces until at least 2040.
A development of the bomber for maritime patrol is designated the Tu-142, while a passenger airliner derivative was called the Tu-114.
The aircraft has four Kuznetsov NK-12 engines with contra-rotating propellers. It is the only propeller-powered strategic bomber still in operational use today. The Tu-95 is one of the loudest military aircraft, particularly because the tips of the propeller blades move faster than the speed of sound. Its distinctive swept-back wings are set at an angle of 35°. The Tu-95 is the only propeller-driven aircraft with swept wings that has been built in large numbers.
The design bureau, led by Andrei Tupolev, designed the Soviet Union's first intercontinental bomber, 1949 Tu-85, a scaled-up version of the Tu-4, a Boeing B-29 Superfortress copy. A new requirement was issued to both Tupolev and Myasishchev design bureaus in 1950: the proposed bomber had to have an un-refueled range of 8,000 km (5,000 mi), far enough to threaten key targets in the United States. Other goals included the ability to carry an 11,000 kg (24,000 lb) load over the target.
Tupolev was faced with selecting a suitable type of powerplant: the Tu-4 showed that piston engines were not powerful enough for such a large aircraft, and the AM-3 jet engines for the proposed T-4 intercontinental jet bomber used too much fuel to give the required range. Turboprop engines were more powerful than piston engines and gave better range than the turbojets available at the time, and gave a top speed between the two. Turboprops were also initially selected for the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress to meet its long-range requirement and for the British long-range transport aircraft, the Saunders-Roe Princess, the Bristol Brabazon Mk 2, and the Bristol Britannia.

The history of military aviation knows multiple examples of aircraft that appeared to be a complete failure. But nothing can beat the story of the first Soviet supersonic bomber – the Tupolev Tu-22. The troubles and the controversy of this bomber, that Tupolev himself referred to as “his most unfortunate creation”, could be seen through the variety of nicknames that the plane received during its career. Among the Russian pilots, the Tu-22 was called the “Pricker”, the “Man-eater”, as well as “Error-plane” and “Defectocraft”, but the most famous among all others was the name - “Supersonic Booze Carrier”.

Andrei Nikolayevich Tupolev is widely regarded by those who worked with him, flew and studied his aircraft, as one of the true giants amongst aircraft designers. A man who remained true to his dream of creating advanced aircraft through some of the darkest times in his country's history. He began his journey into aviation in 1909, studying aerodynamics under Russian aviation pioneer Nikolay Zhukovsky. This experience was for Tupolev and many of his peers interrupted by the First World War, a time when concepts of aircraft quickly evolved, and thus provided ample opportunity for him to learn many principles of design and manufacture. The advent of the Russian Revolution however would radically transform his country and have a major bearing on the future of the Russian aviation industry. Tupolev established his success in design with the ANT-3. His reputation would then become synonymous with large, heavy aircraft, with subsequent and successive models proving to be world class, culminating with the giant ANT-20 "Maxim Gorky".
A new era of suspicion and terror throughout the Soviet Union would have the dramatic effect of seeing Tupolev and many of his peers in aviation imprisoned. Despite this limitation and the harsh conditions they faced, Tupolev's design team performed the impossible. The result was the Tu-2, a modern twin engine light bomber which proved to be a vital workhorse in the ensuing conflict with Germany in the Second World War. Following the conflict restrictions were gradually reduced, and a new era of post-war production for Tupolev began with the Tu-4, a mass produced copy of the Boeing B-29. This spurred on development of Cold War strategic jet bombers such as the Tu-16 "Badger", the classic turboprop Tu-95 "Bear", as well as Russia's first jet airliner, the Tu-104. Shortly before his death he would oversee the first flights of the world's first supersonic passenger airliner, the ill-fated Tu-144. Aircraft bearing the name of Tupolev continue to be produced and operate well into the 21st Century.
Featuring interviews with Yuliya Tupoleva, Helena Kucherenko, Andrei Kandalov, George Cheremukhin, Vladimir Vul and Valentin Klimov.

Andrei Nikolayevich Tupolev is widely regarded by those who worked with him, flew and studied his aircraft, as one of the true giants amongst aircraft designers. A man who remained true to his dream of creating advanced aircraft through some of the darkest times in his country's history. He began his journey into aviation in 1909, studying aerodynamics under Russian aviation pioneer Nikolay Zhukovsky. This experience was for Tupolev and many of his peers interrupted by the First World War, a time when concepts of aircraft quickly evolved, and thus provided ample opportunity for him to learn many principles of design and manufacture. The advent of the Russian Revolution however would radically transform his country and have a major bearing on the future of the Russian aviation industry. Tupolev established his success in design with the ANT-3. His reputation would then become synonymous with large, heavy aircraft, with subsequent and successive models proving to be world class, culminating with the giant ANT-20 "Maxim Gorky".
A new era of suspicion and terror throughout the Soviet Union would have the dramatic effect of seeing Tupolev and many of his peers in aviation imprisoned. Despite this limitation and the harsh conditions they faced, Tupolev's design team performed the impossible. The result was the Tu-2, a modern twin engine light bomber which proved to be a vital workhorse in the ensuing conflict with Germany in the Second World War. Following the conflict restrictions were gradually reduced, and a new era of post-war production for Tupolev began with the Tu-4, a mass produced copy of the Boeing B-29. This spurred on development of Cold War strategic jet bombers such as the Tu-16 "Badger", the classic turboprop Tu-95 "Bear", as well as Russia's first jet airliner, the Tu-104. Shortly before his death he would oversee the first flights of the world's first supersonic passenger airliner, the ill-fated Tu-144. Aircraft bearing the name of Tupolev continue to be produced and operate well into the 21st Century.
