Tupolev Tu-16 Badger Collection 1.0

Although the Tu-16 began as a high-altitude, free-fall bomber, in the mid-1950s it was equipped to carry early Soviet cruise missiles.

The Tu-16KS (Badger-B) version could carry AS-1 missiles over a combat radius of 1,800 km (1,125 mi).

These very large weapons were aerodynamically similar to the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 fighter,

fitted with either a nuclear or conventional warhead, had a range of about 140 km (90 mi).

They were intended for use primarily against US Navy aircraft carriers and other large surface ships.

Subsequent Tu-16s were converted to carry later, more advanced missiles, while their designations changed several times.

A versatile design, the Tu-16 was built in numerous specialized variants for reconnaissance, maritime surveillance,

electronic intelligence gathering (ELINT), and electronic warfare (ECM).

A total of 1,507 aircraft was constructed in three plants in the Soviet Union, in 1954–1962.

They were exported to Egypt, Iraq and Indonesia.
