Tu-95 (project "95", product "B", according to NATO codification: Bear - "Bear") - Soviet and Russian turboprop strategic bomber-missile carrier, the world's fastest aircraft with turboprop engines.
Until now, it has been the world's only serial bomber and missile carrier with turboprop engines. It was a Soviet symbol of ensuring military-strategic parity in the Cold War.
It remains in service as a carrier of cruise missiles, including such as the Kh-101, due to lower fuel consumption than jet aircraft, and most importantly, greater stealth from SBIRS satellites, capable of observing large jet-powered strategic bombers by exhausts from the latter.
