U.S. Navy Fighter Intercepts Soviet Tu-95 'Bear' Bomber, USS Ticonderoga Collection, Vietnam Era
A U.S. Navy fighter shadows a Soviet Tu-95 'Bear' bomber during the Vietnam era, part of the USS Ticonderoga photograph collection. Such intercepts were routine occurrences during the Cold War, as American carrier air wings monitored Soviet long-range reconnaissance and bomber flights near U.S. fleet operations in the Pacific.
