The Tu-4, also known as the Tupolev Tu-4, is a Soviet long-range bomber that was produced in the early 1950s. It was a reverse-engineered copy of the American B-29 bomber that was captured during World War II.
The Tu-4 was the first strategic bomber to be produced by the Soviet Union and played a significant role in the Cold War. It had a range of over 3,000 miles and was capable of carrying a payload of up to 20,000 pounds.
The Tu-4 saw limited combat use during the Korean War, where it was used primarily for reconnaissance and bombing missions. It was eventually replaced by more advanced bomber aircraft such as the Tu-95 and Tu-160.
Overall, the Tu-4 was a symbol of Soviet technological prowess and military power during the early years of the Cold War. Today, some examples of the Tu-4 can still be seen in museums and airshows around the world.
