Tu-128 | Defender of the infinite sky

The Tu-128 is a Soviet heavy supersonic interceptor, created at the Tupolev Design Bureau in the early 1960s.
The main task of the Tu-128 interceptor was to protect the vast territories of the USSR from a possible breakthrough by the US strategic bombers. In this regard, the basis of its concept was the ability to perform long-range patrols, coupled with high autonomy and the use of long-range air-to-air missiles.
These features made the Tu-128 a unique aircraft that effectively served as part of the air defense forces for decades, even after the introduction of new interceptors such as the MiG-25.
