Saw a B-1 do its thing at an airshow about 10 years ago. Amazing sight. That thing must’ve scared the devil out of the Soviets.

You can thank President Ronald Reagan for bringing the program back after it was canceled by jimmy.

Scared? Perhaps. They built 2 bombers on similar lines. The maritime strike Tupolev Tu-22M Backfire and the Tupolev Tu-160 Blackjack. The Blackjack, or as some joke the Lancerski, is an indigenous design and not an enlarged Soviet knock off of the B-1A. If we believe the Soviets.
