Tu-95

==Summary==
The Tupolev Tu-95 is a 4-engine turboprop strategic bomber and missile platform developed by Tupolev, with it being an upscaled version of the previous Tu-4, which is a reverse engineering of the B-29. The bomber is the first intercontinental bomber developed by the USSR, with it's closest US Counterpart being the B-52 Stratofortress. Much like the B-52, it has gone through various upgrades and maintenance, remaining in service to this day.
The Tu-95's NATO reporting name is "Bear."
