The Myasishchev M-4 Bison was a Soviet strategic bomber aircraft designed by Vladimir Myasishchev in the 1950s. It was the first Soviet bomber capable of delivering nuclear weapons to targets in the continental United States. The M-4 had a swept-wing design with four turbojet engines mounted on pylons under the wings. It had a crew of eight and could carry up to 24,000 kg of bombs or missiles.
The M-4 entered service in 1956 and was initially deployed in bomber regiments along the Soviet borders. However, it soon became apparent that the M-4 had limited range and payload compared to its American counterparts, such as the B-52 Stratofortress. The M-4 was also vulnerable to interception by fighter jets and surface-to-air missiles. As a result, the M-4 was gradually replaced by more advanced bombers, such as the Tupolev Tu-95 Bear and the Tupolev Tu-16 Badger. The M-4 was retired from service in 1994 and only a few examples remain in museums today.
