Looks like a cross between a Tu-16 and a WWII-vintage A26 Invader, with a little deHavilland Comet thrown in for a bit of Western flavor.

Uh, speaking of A-26...if I'm a bomber builder in the 21st century...why do I need a glass nose? So the bombadier can see where he's going? So the navigator can get a good shot for his sextant?

I'm surprised they don't have twin .50 calibers in a top turret.
