When talking about a Soviet military aircraft in the Cold War, this one is perhaps among the last planes to be mentioned or remembered... if it is remembered at all! It does not have the aura of Nuclear Apocalypse of a Tu-95 Bear; nor the glamour of fighters like the MiG-25, MiG-21 or others. It does not evoke the fear of attack jets like a Su-24. But, in the tense years of the Cold War, its mission was no less important than that of any of the types mentioned! After all, it was its task to combat those who were among the most terrible enemies - the Western submarines armed with nuclear missiles. And, after those times, while many of the most famous Soviet jets have already been relegated to museums and aircraft scrapyards, this twin-engine turboprop with its crude and antiquated forms - is still in operation! Get to know the Beriev Be-12 and its history! With Claudio Lucchesi and Kowalsky, on the Asas Magazine Channel, the best of Aviation Journalism and Aeronautical History and Culture on YouTube!
