OK...my bad.
Maybe I heard that the Tu-95 can outrun our interceptors. Is that the case?
Yes it is easy for a prop plane doing 500 plus mph to outrun our bi-wing Sopwith Camel planes as the Sopwith can barely make 200 mph. Oh wait, they were retired after WW I.
Against the F-16/15/22s whose top speeds vary from Mach 2 to Mach 3... well you can see something unpleasant might befall the Bears ... stand off weapons (missiles) make speed moot in any case - the Bears are gone long before visual range is acquired.
