Obsolete bluster.
Is has to be weird for the US crews.... They must feel like they are at a vintage aircraft show when they see these things coming. You'd expect to see some old dude, in an old leather bomber jacket sitting at the controls. :)

All the Tu-95MS are new build airframes. The youngest Bear H airframe is approx 30 years younger than the oldest B-52H airframe.
The range of the Bear H is incredible. Its sole role today is ALCM carrier with the longest range ALCMs in any airforces inventory.
