Tu-95MSM is a project for a deep modernization of the Soviet missile carrier with the installation of new engines and propellers, modern electronics and an astrogation system.
The external difference between the Tu-95MSM and its predecessors are the underwing pylons for the suspension of eight Kh-101 cruise missiles or its Kh-102 nuclear counterpart. A further six missiles can be placed in a drum launcher inside the fuselage.
