Aviation tag TU-95 M/U 51 red

The keychain is cut from the original tail rudder of the legendary strategic bomber known as the Bear by NATO. First taking to the skies on November 12, 1952, the Bear entered service with the Soviet Air Force's Long-Range Aviation in 1956. The TU-95 was a prominent symbol of the Cold War, keeping the United States and its allies on edge. The aircraft was transferred to the 409th Heavy Bomber Aviation Regiment, stationed at the Uzyn Air Base (Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic).

While serving with the 409th Regiment, the Bear-A performed tasks assigned by the headquarters of the 106th. After completing its career, the 51st was converted into a TU-95U (Bear-T), a training version used to train crews, saving precious flight hours on later Bear models.
In the late 1980s, the 51st was removed from flight service and in 1987 found use as a ground-based training aircraft. With the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1993, Bear 51 was moved and installed as a gatekeeper at the airbase.

In the early 2010s, the aircraft suffered damage to its tail rudder, probably due to bad weather. The rudder was put into storage and only returned to service in 2021, when restoration work on the aircraft began.
