Asia&pacific : Russia to upgrade workhorse TU95 bomber

Russia has begun a 'serious modernisation' of OAO Tupolev's TU95 strategic bomber, a workhorse of the Soviet and Russian air forces for over 50 years, the plane's design bureau said today, Interfax reported.

The upgrade of the TU95 MS, the Russian equivalent of the US B52 bomber, will include artificial intelligence technology, the news agency cited the president of the Tupolev design bureau, Igor Shevchuk, as saying.

UK and Norwegian fighter jets were scrambled this summer after TU95 bombers were spotted close to Norwegian airspace, part of increasingly frequent long-range missions carried out by the Russian airforce.

Several such missions have recently been reinstated after their suspension following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.

Tupolev is part of the new United Aircraft Corp, forged from several Soviet-era companies including Sukhoi, Ilyushin and Mikoyan in an effort to revive Russia's flagging aircraft industry.
