The Museum of Long-Range and Strategic Aviation, Poltava

The Museum of Long-Range and Strategic Aviation refers to the former military air base, on which the heavy bomber air division was for a long time. With the advent of independence, the financial supply of the base was gradually reduced, and in 2006 the last TU-22M3 bomber was destroyed. The operation was carried out on the basis of the amicable agreement on the elimination of strategic nuclear weapons.

A year later, a special museum with a wide expositionconsisting of bombers of military aircraft, bombs (weighing about 9000 kg), as well as aircraft cruise missiles ofdifferent models was opened in the airship.

The initiators of the creation of a large-scale museum were enthusiastic pilots with great military experience. The exhibition takes place under the open sky, aircraft and equipment are accessible to the viewerin the closest approximation. All the legendary models were in operation in the past and were in service with the state. Now they are redone for museum exhibits.
