A visitor from United Kingdom posted Wed September 12, 2007: The faceted hemisphere is a radar warning antenna. Detects incoming radar signals.
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Thu May 25, 2006: Lookng at western maritime patrol aircraft, it has the same sort of hemisphere, and i think it is a look-down radar...and as one of the roles of the Tu-95 is maritime patrol, it could well be a look down radar
