  • The Tupolev Tu-126 (NATO reporting name: Moss) was an Airborne Early Warning and Control aircraft developed from the Tupolev Tu-114 airliner by the Tupolev design bureau. It was in service with the armed forces of the Soviet Union from 1965 to 1984.
  • Development of the aircraft began in January 1960 under the specification Isdeliye (Изделие, Product) L by Tupolev OKB and was led by Nikolay Blazenkov. The first flight was made by Ivan Sukhomlin in the year 1962. The first Tu-126 entered service in the year 1965. The main role was airborne reconnaissance, being supported by the large rotodyme. But it was also used as a flying command center to coordinate the troops on the ground and in the air. To improve the aircraft's maximum flight endurance, it was designed to be able to perform air-to-air refueling. Unfortunately the Tu-126 had a massive problem; the large contra-rotating turboprop propellers caused interferences on the radar screen. So that the aircraft was immediately replaced after the Beriyev A-50 entered service in the year 198
