@jouni, you are ignorent fool.
There were no even single Tu-95 flight in NATO airspace, allof them were in neutral international airspace, mostly over the seas. There is a nuclear forces usage strategy or doctrine, it calls Escalation Theory. The first step in this doctrine is flag demonstration which you have seen near NATO borders.
In real day to day combat duty flights or real combat situation Bears will fly over the Russian soil or over the North Pole or over the Athlantic/Pacific oceans far from US fighters or AD systems ranges. Kh-101/102 ALCMs allow them to make launches being far from US shores, because they have 5000km range.
If you will take your ass into your hands and search Internet (not Wikipedia) for MS-16 details, you will find modern hardware (new AESA radar, similar to those modified Ka-27 has, new ESM/ECM suites, FLIR, completely new navigation and communication systems) and software complexes in old good body. Just like B-52 but turboprop
Of course, it's a temporary solution before PAK DA will take its place, but why to scrap the well flying body instead of modernization?
So please, don't write supid posts here, you have done too much of them in Civil War in Ukraine topic.
