Another example of Russian genius. Indian navy uses it too.

Would be interesting to know more about this bird.

This one is interesting incident.
In April 2003 two Russian TU-142 Bear F and Bear J aircraft entered Iceland's airspace, prompting the immediate launch of three F-15 fighter planes from the 493rd Fighter Squadron deployed and a Tanker deployed to the Air Force's 85th Group. The mission began as the 932nd Air Control Squadron received reports from Norway that they had an unknown aircraft come through their area and they were intercepting it to get identification. Norway did a VID (visual identification) on that track and saw that it was two Bears. The fighters picked up the radar through the air control squadron and the unknown track. When the Bears came into the military air defense identification zone (MADIZ), they were intercepted by the fighters and escorted through the MADIZ for about 15 minutes or so. Then they exited the MADIZ and went back to Russia. As the fighters escorted the Bears the pilots took some pictures and confirmed the identification of the aircraft.Brien said that the Bears left on their own. Once the Bears left, the fighters returned to NAS Keflavík, ending a successful, but far from routine mission - an occurrence like this has not happened for the prior four years. This was the first time since 1999 that they had actually done an active air defense scramble and intercepted Bears inside the MADIZ.

I believe it is the improved version of the T-95.

It is no doubt a very capable strategic bomber plane , but as far as I remember from a show on Discovery, the biggest problem with this plane was the noise of the rotor blades, with the US claiming that it could pick up the noise of this aircraft from their submarines!!!

OUCH thats gotta be really loud if the US claims are true!

Old model video but worth watching

Ha ha ha That s true. It does make a lot of noise indeed. I too saw that program but I dont know how much true.
This version is ASW role, atleast IN uses that way.

Yes yes but google has not been reliable. Any way this version is Bear -F specific ASW role. ( since Indian Navy uses it I posted here).
