One of the Soviet Unions' most underestimated aircraft, the Myasishchev bomber usually known as the M-4 'Bison' or 'Molot' has probably been at least as important to the development of the Long-Range Aviation (DA) and the AVMF (Soviet Naval Aviation) as the better known Tupolev Tu-95 'Bear'.
Developed by Vladimir M. Myasishchev in 1952, in answer to the Soviet government's demand for a bomber capable of delivering a strike on United States territory, the M-4 Bison was the nation's first four engine turbojet to become operational. Range: 8,100 km (5,030 mi) ferry; 5,600 km (3,480 mi) combat radius.
