The Poltava Museum of Long-Range and Strategic Aviation has seen significant improvements over the past few years and is now a must-visit attraction, especially for families with children. While there is a lot to see, it is highly recommended to hire a guide. Viktor, in particular, is a passionate guide who speaks English well and will enhance your experience. For those interested in military history, air force, and Soviet history, this museum is a must-see while in Poltava. As an aviation enthusiast, I found it to be a great experience, despite its relatively small size. The staff working at the museum are also very friendly, adding to the overall enjoyment of the visit. However, it is important to note that due to Covid restrictions, visitors are currently unable to view the bombers. The only accessible area is a small outdoor park at the entrance, which features a few helicopters and trucks. Nonetheless, the museum boasts a wide range of exhibits and provides a unique opportunity to see last Soviet far-range bombers up close. The highlight of the museum is the chance to enter and explore the phenomenal Tu-160, the only place in the world where this aircraft can be visited. The museum also showcases a variety of other aircraft and offers an indoor museum where visitors can learn about Operation Frantic, a rare case of cooperation between US and Soviet forces during World War II. It is worth noting that foreign visitors are required to have their documents copied, likely as a precautionary measure. Nevertheless, this should not deter anyone from visiting this impressive museum and enjoying the chance to walk through historic planes and learn about the fascinating history of Poltava airport during World War II.
