00:00:00this is a flight without sharp uh any evolutions of the plane,
00:00:04in length it was there no more than 20 minutes, a flight
00:00:07essentially in circles, well this is a classic classic program for
00:00:11the first flight, carefully, without releasing the landing gear, calmly
00:00:14make
00:00:16two or three circles and calmly land. Six months before the start of
00:00:19the SVO, we managed to meet the very pilot who
00:00:23first lifted into the sky the most advanced version
00:00:26of the turboprop strategic missile carrier, strongly. service
00:01:11maintenance, here is the development of all
00:01:15new systems, all new aircraft. As
00:01:18part of automation, first of all, what have we achieved?
00:01:22So, the ability of the aircraft to autonomously perform flight
00:01:26stages without pilot intervention along a programmed
00:01:29route. That is, formally, we entered the coordinates
00:01:32and both pilots can go for a walk, well, it's clear
00:01:36that things aren't done that way, but in principle, naturally,
00:01:39programming plays the main role in this matter,
00:01:42possibly
00:01:45performing the flight autonomously without pilot interference. Autopilot nowadays
00:01:49won't surprise anyone, but for long-range
00:01:52aviation pilots, this is one of the most necessary
00:01:55functions. The strategic missile carrier is designed for
00:01:58long flights. Suffice it to say that the record for this machine
00:02:02was set in July 2010, when
00:02:06long-range aviation pilots spent in the sky, attention,
00:02:0942 hours, 17 minutes,
00:02:12flying 2800 km with four
00:02:16in-flight refuelings. Such a test is extremely
00:02:19difficult to pass without an autopilot. Before performing the flight,
00:02:22the navigator draws up the assigned routes and enters them into
00:02:26the program. And then the aircraft can formally execute all this
00:02:30completely automatically after modernization, that's right, in general, the Bears have many
00:02:33records, but perhaps the most
00:02:36famous, which the whole world learned about, dates back to
00:02:391961. In
00:02:43accordance with the test program for new samples of hydrogen
00:02:47charges, on October 30,
00:02:501961, an explosion of a pure
00:02:53hydrogen bomb with a trinitrotoluene equivalent of 50
00:02:57million was carried out. This refers to
00:03:00the testing in the Novaya Zemlya Archipelago region of the most powerful
00:03:04bomb in human history, which was nicknamed the Tsar
00:03:08bomb. The carrier aircraft with the particularly powerful
00:03:11hydrogen bomb attached to it, gains altitude. Having entered service in
00:03:141956, the Tu-95 is not just still
00:03:18in service. In the new version MSM, it is just beginning
00:03:22its life. Here it is necessary to explain that inside the deeply modernized cockpit
00:03:25of the Bear, we are not allowed to film, so for now
00:03:29we will board a regular Tu-95 with the MS
00:03:33designation. Here we see familiar round instruments with
00:03:36needles, which are also called alarm clocks. This will be
00:03:39a completely new cockpit for each crew member. There will be multi-functional
00:03:43displays on which almost any flight parameter of the aircraft
00:03:46can be displayed. Or to find out data on the operation of its system. In order
00:03:50to at least somewhat imagine what the new cockpit of the strategists will look like,
00:03:54we go to the enterprise where it was created. In this
00:03:57room, we must imagine ourselves on board the Tu.
00:04:17The cockpit, what does
00:04:20the crew get when using the glass cockpit? The crew first of all
00:04:23gets a clear visual
00:04:27picture understands...
00:04:30what controls to use for this or
00:04:33that mode, and also it can
00:04:37make the right decision in case of malfunction
00:04:40of one of the systems and
00:04:43accordingly using another
00:04:46system, accordingly the crew
00:04:49can quite quickly perform
00:04:53actions on flight control as a whole. For
00:04:57comparison, the old cockpit is on the left, the new one
00:05:00on the right. Instead of alarm clocks, there are liquid crystal multi-functional
00:05:03indicators, but not simple ones, they can operate in
00:05:07conditions of the harshest electronic warfare. This is the ideology of the Strategist.
00:05:10This aircraft has no right to get lost
00:05:14under any circumstances, that
00:05:16is, firstly, secondly, if it received a command to shoot, it
00:05:20cannot fail to shoot. Finally, thirdly, let's imagine what
00:05:24will happen if, for example, a sniper, a tank driver,
00:05:27an artilleryman, or a fighter pilot misses. This is, of course,
00:05:30unpleasant, but survivable. What will happen if
00:05:33a nuclear weapon carrier misses? We don't even want
00:05:37to think about it. This aircraft is designed so that the combat
00:05:41mission execution... must be guaranteed. That's why
00:05:45a large redundancy system is provided,
00:05:49redundant instruments
00:05:51are provided. Are these old analog instruments?
00:05:55No, there are old analog instruments, but in a new
00:05:58design. There are instruments that
00:06:02are already in a new design, they
00:06:04are also, so to speak, on a new elemental
00:06:08base, crystalline, but they are backup
00:06:11instruments. Today, long-range aviation includes three types
00:06:15of bomber missile carriers, all of them Tupolev,
00:06:18this is the Tu-22 M3, the scourge of NATO aircraft carriers,
00:06:22the Tu-160 White Swan, a supersonic nuclear
00:06:25strategist with a variable-sweep wing. By the way, the
00:06:28Tu-160 is now also produced with the letter M,
00:06:31modernized, but the workhorse of the air
00:06:35component of the nuclear shield is the Tu-95,
00:06:38an aircraft that, to be frank, is simpler than the Swan,
00:06:41not as fast, not as advanced, but the most numerous, the most
00:06:45economical and therefore very important for the country.
00:06:49The 195MS is one of the main
00:06:52units, one of those
00:06:56components that ensures
00:06:59the fulfillment of tasks and
00:07:02strategic deterrence, and
00:07:05uh, it can be said that it is one of the
00:07:08main aircraft, which is designed for
00:07:11performing tasks of strategic nuclear deterrence. This
00:07:14interview is aired for the first time, although we recorded it in
00:07:182021. Currently, Sergey Kobylash
00:07:21is already a Colonel General, Commander of the Russian Air Force,
00:07:25but he came to this position from the post of Commander of Long-Range
00:07:28Aviation, that is, he knows everything about the Tu-95
00:07:32MS, and about MSM. As for
00:07:35the weapons used by both aircraft, they are absolutely
00:07:39identical, therefore the effectiveness of both
00:07:43aircraft today after during their
00:07:46modernization is very high. Preparing the Bear for flight is
00:07:50an entire science. Service vehicles approach the aircraft,
00:07:53fueling it with fuel, oil, air,
00:07:57nitrogen, oxygen, providing electricity. Where are these strategists
00:08:00based? Throughout the country, in central
00:08:03Russia, in the north, and in the Far East. Long-range
00:08:07aviation has many airbases. Here's an important point: all these
00:08:11airbases are equipped so that they can prepare for
00:08:14takeoff all long-range aviation aircraft simultaneously.
00:08:17Moreover, all of them can be refueled in
00:08:21the air. For those who don't know, air tankers are also
00:08:25part of long-range aviation, again the
00:08:28same Air Force structure that is responsible for the air
00:08:31component of the nuclear shield. We cannot fall behind, and we, as you
00:08:35know, usually go two steps, or maybe even three
00:08:39steps ahead of our adversary, therefore... the external
00:08:43appearance of the aircraft says nothing, inside now
00:08:46there is modernized new equipment that allows
00:08:50the use of the entire range of weapons that are intended for use on
00:08:54this type. Strategic missile carriers are a special class
00:08:57of aviation equipment. Only two countries have such machines,
00:09:01Russia and the USA. These are complex systems,
00:09:04created for many decades. That is why
00:09:08American B-52s, like our
00:09:10Tu-95s, fly.
00:09:42to extend the term of their operation and the possibility of their intended
00:09:45use.
00:09:48The modernization of the ninety-fives consists of several
00:09:52stages. The goal of the first is to keep the missile carriers in working condition.
00:09:55Yes, even at the time of filming, all
00:09:59Tu-95 MS aircraft had passed this first stage and are now
00:10:03at the second. We ask what
00:10:06the Aerospace Forces will gain from such a phased
00:10:09modernization. At the second stage, we added.
00:10:26and, so to speak, improved the operational characteristics of the aircraft
00:10:29to a greater extent due to the replacement of the most important
00:10:33thing, which is the inertial system. We removed the old one and installed a new one.
00:10:37This is that small part of MSM that we already installed at the second stage.
00:10:41Let me remind you, the most modern
00:10:44DU95 comes with the MSM mark, which is the third
00:10:48stage of modernization, but as you have already heard, already at the second stage we
00:10:52are adding to the aircraft the properties of the third. So what is
00:10:55a special system? It is a group of gyroscopes and
00:10:57accelerometers that helps to calculate what path
00:11:01and on what course the aircraft has traveled from the starting point. To put it
00:11:05simply, it is a mixture of a pedometer and
00:11:08a compass. We see the technological placement of
00:11:11equipment at the workplace of the crew commander,
00:11:14the assistant crew commander,
00:11:17the navigator-operator, and the navigator,
00:11:20four main crew members who essentially perform all
00:11:24the work. On this aircraft, the main thing is to watch the new
00:11:27episode of "I'm looking for my own!" Spring 25,
00:11:31the village of Tikhoe, Kharkiv region, two
00:11:34heavily wounded assault troopers had to hide for 20 days
00:11:37under a damaged BMP waiting for fog to
00:11:40reach their own. There were no other places to hide there, it was
00:11:44an open field, no food, no water, there wasn't any. Where we
00:11:47were lying, it was a drone route, you couldn't stick your head out, they realized we were there. I
00:11:51said, I'm going to blow it up now, so that he stays alive, he has nothing.
00:11:55evacuation came, guys, Chinese, a small one,
00:11:59he pulled him out, what a good fellow, let's look for them, yes,
00:12:02looking for my own, today at
00:12:0511:10.

00:14:34Trump enhanced the radiance of his mind with the power
00:14:37of artificial intelligence. This is a topical. This is, of course,
00:14:40a revolutionary statement. It cannot be called otherwise. Fresh. And right
00:14:44now, a press review, global and, of course,
00:14:47Russian. In the society of authoritative experts. This is
00:14:50the essence of modern politics, not to let competitors develop
00:14:53charming.
00:15:21The Tu-95 crew consists of 7 people, most
00:15:25of whom, four out of seven, are essential. Usually on board,
00:15:28there are one or two essential people, the commander and his
00:15:31assistant, but on strategic bombers, it's not like that. Here,
00:15:35the person responsible for launching a nuclear missile may be more important
00:15:39than the commander, because this launch can change the life not only of a
00:15:42country, but of the planet. Therefore, the accuracy of coordinate determination
00:15:46in long-range aviation is elevated to
00:15:48a cult. This is why systems like
00:15:51inertial ones are needed, but these systems have a drawback: the further you
00:15:55move away from the starting point, the greater the error. Of course,
00:15:59satellites can eliminate it, but satellite communication
00:16:02is susceptible to electronic warfare. Here's a novelty on the Tu-95.
00:16:05новинка на Ту-95.
00:16:07The MSN has a completely new navigation system
00:16:11that allows this error to be nullified
00:16:14astronomically, because it navigates by
00:16:18the stars. The accuracy of navigational determinations has significantly
00:16:21increased with this system. The prospects
00:16:24of this device, we
00:16:27believe, will be used on other types of long-range
00:16:30aviation aircraft, but
00:16:33specifically emphasized in this modernization, that is,
00:16:36the Tu-95 was first here, it was first here, yes, because it
00:16:39even surpassed the Tu-160, it is used on the Tu-160, but
00:16:43somewhat older, like that. On the Tu-95,
00:16:47there are the latest systems that are not even on
00:16:50the Tu-160, it turns out the Bear is not inferior to the Swan in
00:16:54everything. And why so many navigation
00:16:57systems? The principle of aircraft use is
00:17:00quite simple, we must understand where we are in order to
00:17:04use appropriate means of destruction.
00:18:07carrier can perform observation functions,
00:18:10processing this information on board,
00:18:14and post-flight processing of information in
00:18:17the interests of various
00:18:20consumers, well, naturally military consumers, not
00:18:24just long-range aviation, but well, yes, here we
00:18:28believe that this data will be necessary
00:18:32for other military command bodies, and
00:18:34the Navy, and the leadership of the Ministry of Defense.
00:18:38It's time to summarize the intermediate results: what have we
00:18:41achieved in the modernization of the Tu-95's airborne electronic
00:18:44equipment? First, we expanded the nomenclature
00:18:48of applicable aviation weapons, we will talk about this again.
00:18:51Second, we increased the reliability of existing
00:18:55units and assemblies. Third, we increased the accuracy
00:18:58of navigation. Fourth, by increasing the number of special
00:19:01tasks, we expanded the strategist's functionality. On
00:19:05the air is military acceptance. You can see it yourself,
00:19:08freezing rain, everything
00:19:11is covered with such crusts of ice. In such
00:19:15harsh conditions we found ourselves, where the Tu-95
00:19:18MSM is located, that is,
00:19:21the most modern modernized
00:19:24version of the Tu-95 aircraft. We will be introduced to this most
00:19:28modern by not just a qualified specialist, but
00:19:31an aircraft builder who has been dealing with the Tu-95 topic since
00:19:35the end of the last century and... we agreed that
00:19:39our acquaintance with this aircraft will begin not from the
00:19:43nose, but from the tail. Why? Here
00:19:47the tail firing
00:19:49installation has been dismantled, the entire
00:19:53compartment has been sealed up. Now it has been
00:19:57transformed into a technical compartment, which
00:20:00is necessary in case of emergency water landing to
00:20:03keep the aircraft from
00:20:07rapidly sinking so that
00:20:10the crew can safely abandon
00:20:14the aircraft. The fact is that on all Tu-95 MS aircraft, there is a gunner in the tail, and he
00:20:17has a rapid-fire cannon at his disposal. But in our time,
00:20:20when strategic missile carriers are not even
00:20:23going to approach the front line, the need for a cannon
00:20:26has disappeared, and now this is the easiest way to
00:20:30distinguish the Tu-95 MS from the MSM.
00:20:33On the former, there's a cannon in the tail. On the latter, a float. Right now,
00:20:37this freezing rain
00:20:41continues. Look at the ice
00:20:44buildup here on the
00:20:47propellers. If we needed...
00:21:20until recently, there was no need for them. The fact is that the aircraft
00:21:23was designed in Soviet times, when strategists had to
00:21:27approach quite close to the territory of a potential enemy, and so that
00:21:30the enemy would not understand whether there were combat missiles on board or not,
00:21:34they were reliably hidden in the bomb bay.
00:21:38By the way, we saw their work from the bomb bay
00:21:41in Syria. By the way, before that, it was believed that the Bears could
00:21:44only work on nuclear deterrence tasks,
00:21:47but Syria showed that strategists have a place
00:21:51in local conflicts. Here they are,
00:21:54the Kh-101 cruise missiles, which our hero launches
00:21:58one after another. Yes, time will pass and we will see the Bears in
00:22:01the lists of participants in the special military
00:22:04operation. As for accuracy,
00:22:08it is clear that the parameters are classified, but the order of
00:22:11magnitude, in the 21st century, what characteristics are we achieving?
00:22:15Well, the missile flies into the window. This
00:22:18aircraft performs these tasks with new weapons, that is, it installs, after
00:22:21modernization, Kh-101 missiles that are highly
00:22:24accurate, and over many thousands of kilometers it
00:22:28is capable of hitting, yes, that is, such small targets as buildings with
00:22:31enormous accuracy. Let me clarify, here we are talking about the previous
00:22:35modernization of the Tu-95 MS version,
00:22:39without the letter M at the end. So even these machines with
00:22:42Kh-101 missiles are capable of operating, you
00:22:46yourselves heard, with what accuracy. We filmed these shots long before...
00:23:04Right now, we are observing one of the most important
00:23:07stages of repair - the installation of the beam
00:23:11holder. This stage is considered one
00:23:14of the very important ones in terms of understanding what the aircraft
00:23:18is designed for, and it is designed for... let's clarify,
00:23:23the more modern Tu-160 cannot carry additional missiles,
00:23:40but the old Tu-95 is capable of this.
00:23:43Here's another argument in its favor: by attaching
00:23:47additional holders to turboprop strategists...
00:23:51we significantly increase the capabilities not only of them,
00:23:54but of all long-range aviation. So, we have already studied
00:23:57the beam holders, now it's time to look into
00:24:00the bomb bay. So, we are flying,
00:24:03flying, 3, 2, 1,
00:24:07the drop of missiles begins, the bomb bay
00:24:10opens, first the bomb bay opens, then,
00:24:14further on, the missiles are launched, that is, it specifically
00:24:18detaches, goes down. Its engines start
00:24:21and it goes towards the target, but towards the target doesn't
00:24:25mean it flies in a straight line, that is, it flies the
00:24:28route that has already been programmed into it, that is, the aircraft can go that way, and
00:24:32the missile can go left, right, bending around the terrain as
00:24:36well, even so. Not bombs, only missiles, only
00:24:39missiles. There are no missiles in the drum now, there is control
00:24:43equipment. And if there were, of course, one wants to know how many there are, but that's the peculiarity
00:24:46of a strategic nuclear missile carrier: we cannot reveal the details here.
00:24:50We will only say that the number of missiles in the modernized
00:24:53Tu-95 has increased, which means
00:24:57the takeoff weight of the machine has increased. To lift
00:25:00such a load, more powerful engines
00:25:03are needed. Before you is another
00:25:07enterprise working, among other things, in the interests of long-range aviation, it is
00:25:10part of the United Engine Corporation, Rostec State Corporation,
00:25:13it is here that the modernization of the newest NK-12
00:25:17MPM engine is taking place. By the way, the
00:25:21situation here is exactly the same as with the aircraft, when the Tu-95
00:25:24is modernized into the MSM, so too has
00:25:28the NK-12mp turned into
00:25:31the MPM. The letter M at the end here means
00:25:34modernized. The letters NK remind of
00:25:38the great designer Nikolai Kuznetsov, who
00:25:41was at the origins of creating the first engine for
00:25:45the Tu-95.
00:25:48First. The coolest thing about this
00:25:52engine is that it's the only engine of such power, still
00:25:55existing in nature. The second point,
00:25:58yes, turboprop engines, at the time this
00:26:02engine was created, no one in the Soviet Union
00:26:05was working on them. It was the NK-12 that brought
00:26:08the design bureau its first great success. At the time when
00:26:11this engine was being created, the maximum compression in
00:26:15the compressor was 5-7 units, that is,
00:26:18the ratio of pressure at the compressor outlet to pressure at
00:26:21the inlet. This was the first time they went beyond
00:26:2410, that is, at that time it was the most
00:26:27powerful compressor that existed. The highest
00:26:31compression ratio. The highest. Absolutely, well, from
00:26:34this
00:26:38the compressor power in turn depends. The advantage of this
00:26:42engine is its simplicity: there are no complex cooled blades in the turbine, here there is one shaft, not three, the NK-12 is easy to
00:26:45repair and economical. As for innovative engineering
00:26:49solutions, there are a lot of them here. Let's pay attention, for example, to
00:26:53the starter. This is essentially a self-contained gas turbine
00:26:56engine designed at the Kuznetsov Design Bureau. Thanks to the cutaway,
00:26:59you can see what's behind it...
00:27:32Well, roughly speaking, this wheel is given a
00:27:35mode, and by setting this rotor mode, certain conditions
00:27:39are created at the inlet to the free turbine, and it produces
00:27:43a certain power.
00:27:46Before you are shots of the takeoff of a turboprop Bear. We
00:27:49see how one propeller first spins up, then
00:27:52another begins to rotate in the opposite direction, and then they
00:27:56rotate at similar speeds in opposite
00:27:59directions. However, ensuring such counter-rotation
00:28:02is an extremely difficult task. For this, Kuznetsov's team
00:28:06developed a planetary differential
00:28:08gearbox and a special propeller pitch control
00:28:11system. Let's show
00:28:15the planetary gearbox in action. Why such a name,
00:28:18planetary? In fact, it's very simple, it refers
00:28:22to the solar system, you all see how the gears
00:28:25rotate around one main gear. The uniqueness
00:28:28of this gearbox lies precisely in the fact that it allows
00:28:32to rotate the propeller shafts in different directions. How much do we
00:28:36reduce the number of revolutions? Well, if we
00:28:39have on the turbine, imagine more than 800 revolutions
00:28:42per minute, then on the propellers it's 10 times
00:28:45less, and naturally our propellers do not rotate at such a high speed,
00:28:49thereby increasing their, so to speak,
00:28:51durability. Well, I want to add from myself, do you hear
00:28:54how quietly it works? And now
00:28:57simultaneously, I don't know, a dozen different
00:29:01gears are rotating. That is, another feature of this
00:29:04planetary gearbox is
00:29:06silence. I started to become an IT specialist, to engage in
00:29:10computer security, this
00:29:12is our main work profile now or, uh, all
00:29:16this ended in tragedy in the Odessa House of Trade Unions, I understood that it was as if this
00:29:20was happening to my relatives, call sign Moscow, why Moscow,
00:29:24commander of the strike drone unit, you are part of
00:29:27the 429, yes we are a separate platoon, and
00:29:31behind the scenes work.
