🚀 Tupolev Tu-16 “Badger” – The Soviet Bomber That Shaped the Cold War ✈️🔥

Step back into the Cold War skies and discover the story of the Tupolev Tu-16 “Badger,” the Soviet Union’s legendary twin-jet bomber. First flown in 1952, this powerful aircraft became the backbone of Soviet strategic aviation for decades. With its swept-wing design, rugged reliability, and ability to carry everything from nuclear bombs to cruise missiles, the Tu-16 proved both versatile and intimidating. Nicknamed “Badger” by NATO, it wasn’t just a bomber—it was adapted into reconnaissance, electronic warfare, and even tanker roles. More than 1,500 were built, and while the Soviet versions retired in the early 1990s, its Chinese cousin, the Xian H-6, is still flying today! From buzzing U.S. aircraft carriers to carrying out nuclear tests, the Tu-16 left its mark on aviation history. This video dives into its design, combat history, and lasting legacy as one of the most iconic bombers of the 20th century. 👉 Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe for more incredible stories from aviation history!
