Obsolete bluster. The turboprop Tu-95MS bomber is so unbelievably noisy that the crews are all stone deaf in no time. It is so loud, that submerged submarines recognize its sound signature on sonar.

Sort of surprised they haven't re-engined them with high bypass turbofans. Looks like it would work structurally.

It looks like a rip-off of the B-29.
