Overview of the EAF Museum above the Il-14

Taking pride of place in the centre of the EAF Museum. At least 30 Tu-16s in various marks were acquired from 1962 and equipped three squadrons at Cairo West, Beni Suef and Aswan. Whole units were destroyed in the Six Day War in 1967 but measures were taken to limit losses the time of the Yom Kippur War in 1973. After relations with Moscow broke down, apparently Chinese Badger-copy H-6 bombers were also supplied. The last of the AS-1 Kennel air-to-surface missile equipped Tu-16K-11s and some of the H-6s may have soldiered on till 2000. The "TU-16" labelling is a recent, unfortunate addition!

The bort code "50" is likely fake as it is a memorial for the 50th anniversary of TsBP (50 летие ЦБП).

Displayed as a gate guard at Dyagilevo air base.

Gate guard, former code "11" red not worn. Almost certainly a modified version able to carry various K-series of missiles.

The old bomber base at Pryluki has this Tu-16 on display outside the base.

A special exhibit. One of 26 Badgers supplied during the period of co-operation with the USSR from 1961, serving SkU.41 and 42 at Iswahjudi AB, Madiun until the end of the 1960s when relations with Russia broke down and parts became embargoed. They were active during the Indonesian confrontation with Malaysia, flying sorties into Malaysian airspace near Singapore. Of the 26, 12 were the Tu-16KS-1B variant which was equipped to carry two Kennel air-to-surface missiles on underwing pylons as displayed here. Unfortunately it is impossible to photograph it satisfactorily under the protective roof.

The Poltava Museum of Long-Range and Strategic Aviation was officially founded in 2016, however, the museum, founded by former military pilots, exists since 2007. One of the large bombers in the museum is this Tu-16K-26, ex 25 red.

Egypt has used a number of Badger variants including Tu-16KS, Tu-16T, Tu-16KSR-2-11, Tu-16R and also the Chinese H-6. Given that this one is presented with Raduga KSR-2 (AS-5 Kelt) cruise missiles it should be a Tu-16KSR-2-11 but it's not clear. Seen at the Egyptian Air Force Museum which is adjacent to Almaza Air Force Base.

In use as an instructional airframe.

Reported c/n of 222000159 does not appear to be correct for an H6. Correct serial is 50671. Local version of the Tupolev-16, with over 200 still in service (2021). This aircraft is reported to have dropped China's first nuclear bomb.
