fighter jets, like other weapons, have a service life. after all, they are made of circuits and steel, so they will eventually be scrapped. however, russia's tu-95 fighter jet is an exception. like the b52, it is one of the last propeller bombers. how can it be in service for as long as 100 years?

any equipment needs to be constantly upgraded to extend its service life, and fighter jets are no exception. the tu-95 fighter is a russian long-range strategic bomber with a swept wing design and four turboprop engines installed. each engine can drive a flip four-blade propeller to drive the slender fuselage to fly quickly.

this is also the only propeller-driven fighter jet in the world that is still in service. at a time when advanced models continue to emerge, russia still keeps this fighter jet in service and even plans to keep it in service for 100 years. what is the reason?

since the 1950s, the soviet union's tupolev design bureau has created this model and built more than 300 tu-95 bombers. after the disintegration of the soviet union in the 1990s, more than 70 tu-95 bombers were distributed to ukraine, but ukraine failed to keep this core model and destroyed them all, which is a pity.
