The Pentagon was "unnerved"? More likely the Pentagon was annoyed by these clownish aviators from a dying land.

“is likely to have unnerved the Pentagon and caused further perplexity at the State Department over the Kremlin’s mercurial course.”

Meanwhile, anyone with a smidgen of common sense could have seen this coming a decade ago.

When is Foggy Bottom not perplexed? Their heads are buried too deep in the sands of Arabia to see squat.

It must have been a drill. We probably bought that Bear from the ruskies.

OK so Russia (USSR) can afford gas for it’s plane. Reviving Cold War escapades seems childish and some what dangerous.

Wonder if they’re playing patty cake at the ICBM sites?

It doesnt matter how much of a relic this plane is...the planes fire nuke tipped cruise missiles from stand off range, and that’s a threat.

"Yesterday we revived this tradition."

Can their tradition of shooting down passenger airliners be far behind?

The Tu-95MS Bear H airframes are new-build. The last of them came off the production line in the early 1990s. Compare this to the B-52H still in service with USAF. The youngest B-52H is from October 1962!

The Bear H is a cruise-missile platform carrying the longest range ALCMs in the world.

If we splash just one of these bombers, this sort of thing will stop right quick. Maybe there can be some sort of accident...

The aircraft in the picture is a Bear F of the Russian Navy. It is an Anti-submarine warfare aircraft. In comparison the same age as some of the P-3s used by the U.S. Navy.
