Step back into the Cold War skies and discover the story of the Tupolev Tu-16 “Badger,” the Soviet Union’s legendary twin-jet bomber. First flown in 1952, this powerful aircraft became the backbone of Soviet strategic aviation for decades.

Nicknamed “Badger” by NATO, it wasn’t just a bomber—it was adapted into reconnaissance, electronic warfare, and even tanker roles. More than 1,500 were built, and while the Soviet versions retired in the early 1990s, its Chinese cousin, the Xian H-6, is still flying today!
