Those are them BIG SOBs.

Ruskies like to make big craft. This one is interesting because it is a turboprop. The B-52 has about double the capacity and about the same speed.

I know it would have been emotionally satisfying to splash it, but I mean, the Dutch pulled 'em over. Does it get better than that?
