Stalin's Cold War Military Machine: A New Evaluation

Colloquium on Contemporary History No. 6, 18 December 1991


Tupolev TU-16 Badger Bomber/Rescue Plane

Tupolev Tu-16 Badger bomber photographed by a USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63) aircraft as it overflew the carrier task force northwest of Japan, January 1963. The Tu-16 was a continuation of programs initiated prior to Stalin's death. Its capabilities were roughly equivalent to those of the U.S. Air Force's B-47 (USN 711247).
