Close but wrong. AT sometime in it's life it MIGHT have been a TU-95 , although It more likely was new construction. It has a new designation , and I'll accept either the NATO number or Russian. Here's a hint. IN theory NATO should have RENAMED it something in the "M" serious as in Madge , Mainstay and Mail. But when it came out NATO didn't know if it was still a MULTI-purpose aircraft , one of those purposes being a bomber.


Tu-142M Bear F



Yea that tail looks like it, i get the two confused Tu-95/Tu-142

I'm still mad at you! Stay in the corner DUNCE! P-8 Poseidon indeed!

Tu-142M Bear F

Correct! Can anyone tell me what a "Bear F' is used for? Compared with say the TU-95 or TU-142H ?


Its the Maritime recon/ASW version.

Correct. The 95 is a strategic bomber , the 142H is a cruise missile carrier.

I agree completely! Does a P-3C look anything like a 737 in grey paint?

I was going off what I could remember, without looking it up. I could have said "C47 extended version with a Earl Scheib's paint job."

LCS-2 Independence. It's the place where all my recycled beer cans have ended up.

The former SECNAV declared these "ships" as Frigates. Mainly because he was tired of hearing crews describe them a "Little Crappy Ships". Would you rather serve on a Cruiser, destroyer or frigate , or a Littoral Combat Ship?
