Does anyone out there have any photos/images of a missile-carrying Bear with external pylons mounted? I’m trying to research the MS-16 version, but have come up pretty much completely empty-handed in my search for pictures. The closest I’ve come is a couple shots of the Tu-95MSM, but it’s pylons aren’t the same.
I know that, given the time frame it was operating (and when the pylon capabilities were removed) there probably aren’t going to be a ton of pictures floating around, but there’s got to be *something* out there. And since the Key Publishing forums are always a great source for weird and esoteric shots, I’m hoping someone will be able to help me out.
