Among the military equipment of the Soviets, the Tu-95 is a fairly representative model.

For example, its unique engine system.

The propeller aircraft can reduce the dependence on the runway, and the take-off and landing distance is much shorter than that of the jet aircraft, but the speed of the propeller aircraft is not fast enough, so the performance of the NK-12 engine of the Tu-95 is very special, its turbine part only outputs 1/3 of the total engine power to the propeller, and the other 2/3 of the power is in the form of jet to generate thrust.

In this way, in addition to taking care of the take-off and landing performance at low speeds, it will also take care of the needs of high-speed flight.

When the Tu-95 cruises at speeds above 750 km/h, the propeller is already in the state of "following the prop", otherwise the tip of the propeller will generate shock wave resistance in advance. At this time, relying only on the strong performance of the NK-12 engine, the maximum speed of the Tu-95 exceeded 900 kilometers per hour, making the Tu-95 the fastest and largest propeller aircraft.

This kind of aircraft has been in service since 56 years, and until the later generations of Russia, nearly 100 aircraft have been retained, and they are the core of Russia's long-range deterrent force, and they have been in service for 60 years, which shows how strong its adaptability is.

So, this kind of thing is an absolute "carriage of longevity". Its volume and ability to stay in the air can form a variety of different functions. Historically, for example, it has been improved into transport aircraft, reconnaissance aircraft, and even military airliners.

In the current era, the West's various data on this bomber are still speculative, and there are even big discrepancies, for example, according to the understanding of the propeller aircraft, it is believed that its maximum speed is about 600 kilometers, which is not comparable to the jet aircraft at all.

And Nathan, because of the memory of two lifetimes, was absolutely impressed by this aircraft, and in later generations, it broke through the American aircraft carrier fleet many times and flew proudly.

And now, here they are!

Alaska, a barren piece of land that the United States bought from the Russian Tsar, is now a continent that is quite significant.

The confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union in the Cold War was quite fierce and could erupt into a hot war at any time, and the vast continent of the Soviet Union could have mobile ballistic missile launch positions everywhere, and their best launch trajectory was to fight from the North Pole.

In this case, the United States and Canada jointly formed the North American Air Defense Command, and Alaska, is an important air defense base.

It was very important for the Soviet Union to test Alaska's air defense response and collect their electromagnetic information, and for several years, they wanted to go to Alaska to test it, but they could not find the opportunity.

And recently, the lost passenger plane of Korean Airlines gave them a revelation, and it is very simple to make excuses!

In this era, the compass, a simple device that has been widely used in nautical sports for thousands of years, is still the most important navigation system in aircraft.

In the Arctic region, due to its proximity to the magnetic poles, the compass may not be able to display the direction normally, and there will be an incorrect heading indication.

"We are a Trek airliner, and we were going to fly from Moscow to Komsomolsk, but we made a mistake in the compass over the North Pole and flew to Alaska." At this time, on this "passenger plane", the captain Victor said: "So, don't be nervous, everyone, this is a normal flight." ”

From the outside, it was indeed a normal flight.

Just looking at the appearance, many people can recognize it as the Tu-95, but when you get closer, you can see that it has side portholes.

Yes, the side of the bomber was painted with portholes, so that when you look from the air, you can see that the plane is actually a passenger plane, and for this reason, it has also removed the in-flight refueling pipe in the nose of its own aircraft.

Exactly the same as the Tu-95, there is a Tu-114 passenger plane, when Khrushchev went to the United States, because the plane he took was too small, he was stimulated, after going back, he asked to build a cross-era passenger plane, so the Tupolev Design Bureau improved the Tu-114 passenger plane on the basis of his own Tu-95 bomber.

The fuselage was high above the ground due to the huge propellers, but it was a record for the time and a symbol of Soviet power, but only 32 were produced in total.

Now, using the Tu-95 to pretend to be a passenger plane is to test Alaska's air defense response, and at the same time collect various radar signals, even if the other party comes to intercept it, it's a big deal to go by yourself.

So, they don't have any psychological pressure.

Lao Maozi dared to fire at the airliner, but did the Americans dare to directly hit the old Maozi's airliner?

I definitely don't dare, look at the performance of the Americans in Vietnam, look at the anti-war sentiment in the United States, the Americans will definitely not dare to start the war easily.

The Soviet crew in the cabin had no scruples.

The co-pilot Habasf was also relaxed for a while, his eyes looked into the distance, and after flying a distance, he could see the land of Alaska, at this time, the various on-board equipment on the plane had begun to record electromagnetic signals in the air.

What a great flight today!

Wait, what's that bright spot in the distance?

The eyes of the Khabasf looked at the bright spot that reflected the light in the sun, and there was some inexplicable nervousness in his heart, could it be the American fighter? Then they reacted too quickly, right?

"F-4 fighter! The Americans came so fast! At this moment, the navigator in front of the nose shouted loudly.

"Panic what, keep flying!" Victor felt very angry when he heard the panic of his subordinates, as the flight crew of the reconnaissance aircraft, he should have enough guts to do it, and he was frightened for such a small thing?

Continue to fly forward, if you turn around in a panic as soon as you see the American fighters, doesn't it just mean that there is a ghost in your heart? You should keep flying.

It's Nathan who came!

When Nathan saw the plane from a distance, he felt that it was not simple, and after seeing the outline clearly, he almost immediately recognized it as Tu-95.

And when he got closer, he began to be confused, on the side of the plane, there was actually a long porthole from front to back!

Moreover, there is also a civil aviation livery on the side.

Could it be that what you found was not a bomber, but a passenger plane?

"Tu-114 airliner, it looks like this is a lost plane." Steve in the rear compartment said.

"Elmendorf, Elmendorf, the Eagle has reached the vicinity of the target, and the target is suspected to be a Tu-114 airliner." Nathan shouted over the radio.
