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.

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?

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

Maybe a stealth bomber should visit Leningrad. At night. In rain.

I spent 6 months at Andersen AFB during the Viet Nam era, 1972. I just checked the Goggle map and the B-1s there look fine and ready to go! The naval facilities included Polaris Missile Sub support in that era and I suspect that today the new Ballistic Missile subs port there as well.

They might want to reignite the Cold war along with their US sympathizers, AKA the Demoncommies, but no luck!

"It was always the tradition of our long-range aviation to fly far into the ocean, to meet (US) aircraft carriers and greet (US) pilots visually,"

Just a reminder, you are in a LARGE, metal, turboprop plane, visually greeting fighter pilots....had the Americans not needed the humor, the only visual you would have had would have been the vapor trail of the missile incoming to make your turboprop a very large....kit.

Why don't we launch World War II fighters to intercept and not waste jet fuel.

Time to start building Corsairs and Mustangs as intercept planes for these beasts.

That way our jets do not have to fly at almost stall speeds to stay with the Tu-95...

Putin is a moron.

At a time in history when the biggest threat facing both West and East is islamic fundamentalism, Pooty-Poot wants to dig into the past and revive the cold war.

Real smart, Vlad. Real smart.

Response to deter this type of activity:P

1) develop a midair, stand off, focused electromagnetic bomb missile.
2) next encounter, warn at 12 miles
3) intercept and fire the missile and detonate
4) EMP missile destroys thousands perhaps hundreds of thousands of dollars of equipment.
5) maintaining aircraft for these flyovers becomes very expensive.
