Notes on TU-95 and TU-160 Strategic bombers communications
If the TU-95 CW markers are active, its an indication that bombers are in the air and its possible to monitor USB frequencies. Every 20 minutes lasting for 2 minutes a single letter will be repeated by CW. Its always on the H+00, H+20, H+40 and normally handset. Marker W is commonly heard probably from Moscow Strategic and Long Range aviation headquarters.
The G marker possibly comes from Russian Ukrainka Air Base in Amur District in Far East Russia. Other undefined markers are Q, R and Z. C marker is used by TU-95 bombers used by Russian Navy from Moscow Naval HQ. Arkhangelsk Severomorsk naval base use S marker.
The bomber formations use callsigns. Known callsigns are TRL5 – Spring TV6P, IZ2J and KFE4 – Summer 4ASU, QZ6Y and PUO7 – Autumn IWV4 – Winter. Three figure groups are used in messages, although it’s speculated that five-figure groups are actually used.
The ground communications to aircraft using USB voice use callsigns such as NABOR, BALANS and KATOLIK that are fixed and are not affected by the seasonal changes.
Usual message format callsign, then the air unit number and coded numbers group that holds itself navigational directions.
KATOLIK for 48123: (unit number) / 694 062 405 274 527 /
During the flight, these navigational readings are sent frequently, because of bad readability the radio operator must repeat the message groups frequently. The female operator heard often is operator from the ground stations.
However, it’s been observed that also Monolith type messages similar to those used by ground forces are used. In this case, the format and reading conduct are similar to command message send on S30 the Pip.
