India's Incredible 2nd Aircraft Museum ❤l कोलकाता | 4K | Tupolev Tu-142M

Kolkata Aircraft Museum | Naval Aircraft Museum | Kolkata | With English Subtitle

Envisioning to build attraction zones near the Kolkata gate at New Town, KMDA had initiated this military aircraft exhibition in a sprawling 2 acre land beside the New Town Police Station.

A decommissioned Tupolev Tu-142M maritime reconnaissance aircraft was brought in pieces from INS Rajali, Arakkonam in Tamil Nadu, on sixteen trucks. The pieces were assembled and the awe-inspiring super-structure was parked on a runway-like structure built solely for showcasing the aircraft in full grandeur. The aircraft is referred to as the "Bear" by NATO.

Designed by the Tupulev Design Bureau of the erstwhile USSR, Tu-142s are well equipped to trail submarines.

The massive aircraft with four engines and eight propellers, had served the Indian Navy for 29 years between 1988 and 2017. Nicknamed "Albatross", for the exceptionally wide span of its wings, this was the heaviest and longest turbo propeller ever made in the world. It could be refueled mid air, giving it unprecedented advantage in maritime reconnaissance and combat operations. With fuel consumption of 6ton/ hour and top speed of upto 900kmph, this was a beast of an aircraft in the skies. The gunners positioned at the tail of the aircraft had special guns with a capacity to fire 8-inch ****** at the rate of 1200 rounds/minute. This anti-submarine aircraft was a valuable member of the Indian Navy.
