First flown in 1952, the Tu-95 entered service with the Soviet Union in 1956 and is expected to serve the Russian Air Force until at least 2040.[1] A development of the bomber for maritime patrol is designatedTu-142, while a passenger airliner derivative was called Tu-114.The aircraft has four Kuznetsov NK-12engines, each driving contra-rotating propellers. It is the only propeller-powered strategic bomber still in operational use today.
