They see props and think it’s from WWII. They just know that all Russian air craft is junk and/or poorly made copies of our stuff. No they see big old bombers with a giant radar profile flying predictable routes and are easy to intercept and down if necessary.

Are you talking about our B-52s or their Bears?

Not from thousands of miles away. Think B-52H standing-off from an air-defense system with fighters unable to reach or get there in time. The long-range heavy strategic bombers in these cases are stand-off platforms able to launch cruise missiles from thousands of miles away.
