"Russia's Tu-95 Bombers Get Tire-Wrapped Wings for Enhanced Performance"

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Bulgarian Military

Russia has covered the wings of its Tu-95 strategic bombers stationed at the Engels-2 air base with car tires as a makeshift defense against potential drone attacks. The idea is that the rubber tires will absorb the impact of a drone, reducing the force transferred to the aircraft and preventing significant damage. While this approach is unconventional, it demonstrates ongoing efforts to find innovative ways to protect against emerging threats. However, the effectiveness of the tires will depend on various factors, and there is a risk of fire or explosion upon impact.
