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.

Is has to be weird for the US crews.... They must feel like they are at a vintage aircraft show when they see these things coming. You'd expect to see some old dude, in an old leather bomber jacket sitting at the controls. :)

If these ever went to war,they would’nt need to get anywhere near an enemy given they can fire cruise missiles with a range of almost 1,500 miles or new supersonic anti-ship weapons with range of almost 200 miles.

That is a Russian Navy Tu-142 Bear F. The Tu-95MS are new-build airframes. The last one came off the production line in the early 1990s. Their role is stand-off air-launched cruise missile carrier. Incomparison the youngest USAF B-52H came off the production line in 1962.
