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.

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.
