The old Bear D, piece of crap back in the late sixties and seventies when I was in the service. Unless the Russians have something better today, we have nothing to worry about.
The last B-52 built rolled off the Boeing Wichita line on 26 October 1962. The Tu-95H began production in 1981. Those who dismiss the capabilities of the Bear and the possible threat they could pose are simply ignorant.
The Bear Ds of the Russian Navy are all retired. The Navy only uses the Tu-142 Bear F on anti-sub patrols and the Air Force with new-build Tu-95MS Bear Hs.
The role of the Bear H is a long-range air-launched cruise missile platform. The Russian ALCMs range greatly exceeds anything in the USAF inventory. The Tu-95MS can stand-off thousands of miles away and launch up to 16 missiles.
