Russian TU-95 just crashed. NAFO/Ukroids celebrate. I am calm as an expert. xDTu-95 primary role as a long-range cruise-missile truck is increasingly outdated. Modern conflicts favor mass, cheap, attritable munitions over a handful of expensive, sophisticated ones that can be easily shot down. Russias S8000 Banderol (a low-cost jet-powered cruise missile/drone hybrid, $150, 500 km range, mass-produced) or Dan-T (same but x2 cheaper) exemplifies this shift: far cheaper and more numerous than classic Kh-101-class weapons the Tu-95 was built to carry. The December 2022 B-2 "Spirit of Hawaii" incident was far costlier for the US Air Force. A hydraulic failure caused landing-gear collapse, fire, and over $300 million in damage, the $2 billion aircraft was written off, permanently shrinking the tiny B-2 fleet (now 1819 operational while Russia still has around 50 Tu-95) with no production line to replace it. In current wars Russia relies far more on mass-produced tactical bombers like the Su-34 (front-line workhorse for strikes and support) and the faster, more capable Tu-160 strategic bombers, which remain more relevant for modern high-threat environments than the aging, slow, non-stealthy Tu-95. Russia produces 2-3 Tu-160 a year and 18 Su-34 s year. These rates suffice for Russia and align with US realities. Russias 2-3 Tu-160s/year match the low-volume nature of strategic bombers. The US builds zero new ones now (legacy lines closed), the B-21 will reach 7-10/year once mature.Russias 18 Su-34s/year is solid for a front-line strike jet. The US builds far more fighters overall (mainly F-35s), but dedicated tactical bombers/strike jets like F-15E/EX stay in lower double digits. Russias output covers wartime needs for its continental force; US production supports global commitments and a larger inventory.

>>543485498American bombers actually work tho
>>543485607Bullshit. Russian bombers demonstrate far higher operational tempo than US ones in recent campaigns. In the Ukraine war, Russian Su-34s alone fly hundreds of daily sorties dropping glide bombs (often 200-250+ bombs/day, peaking at 8,000+/month in mid-2026). Strategic Tu-95s and Tu-160s sustain regular long-range missile strikes despite attrition and redeployments. By contrast, US bomber missions over Iran (Operations Midnight Hammer and Epstein Fury) involved limited numbers: dozens of B-2/B-1 sorties across weeks, including 18 ultra-long round-trips totaling 62 bomber missions in one phase, nowhere near sustained mass volume. Russian UMPK/UMPB glide bombs now reach 150-300 km (powered variants), exceeding standard JDAM-ER ranges of 70-120 km. This allows safer stand-off employment. Volume and adaptation matter more than pure platform quality in prolonged high-intensity conflict.

>>543486616The 1982 outdated critique is unfounded. The B-52 entered service in 1955 and remains a core US strategic bomber after continuous upgrades into the 2050s (LMAO). The B-1B dates to 1986. Modernized Tu-160M/M2 aircraft is a completely different beast with top tier standoff capability, just as US bombers rely on modernization rather than pure age.
>>543484327>russian plane crashes>actually we didn't need it>crashing planes is actually part of the planZigger copes always manage to get more ridiculous no matter how many times you think they couldn't cope any harder

>>543486500"Glass cockpit" is a modernisation? Was it made from cling wrap before?
>>543486844You are deluded, Pole-subhuman. Bolanda cant even produce a fkn ballistic missile that Houthis mastered to above-West levels, not to mention a strategic bomber. Bolanda is too primitive to build XX century gasoline engine in its current neocolonial form. Bolanda will pay for its ignorance just like the Country 404 aka UPAdlina pays now xD
>>543486500That is my favorite looking bomber, for sureThose engines are just chef's kissStats are better than I would've guessed as well, wild to think our B2, which used to be unmatched, is aging.
>>543486990So another 80 years at the current pace and russia will be in lviv staring at you
>>543486874A glass cockpit replaces analog dials and gauges with digital multifunction displays, integrated computers and improved avionics. Pre-upgrade Tu-160s used traditional analog instruments like most 1980s aircraft. The change reduces pilot workload, boosts situational awareness, enables modern systems, all of this was standard, meaningful modernization - same for US fleet.
>>543486990>You are deluded
>>543486500but how many wheels does it have compared to yank bombers?

The TU-95 is equivalent to our B-52, which is over 70 years old. Russia never even built a strategic stealth bomber like the B-2 and B-21, they have totally different use doctrines. We still fly the B-52 because non-stealth planes are way cheaper to run and maintain than stealth planes. It can be used as a long-range missile truck like the TU-95, but it actually still does a lot of traditional high-altitude gravity bombing, as Middle East air defenses can't reach that high.
>>543487455Sądząc po wybuchach złości to vpnowi wojownicy z Indii... strasznie dużo ich tu Ruskie napuściły ostatnio...
>>543484637Nah, knowing Russian engineering the engine would likely have ran on vodka just fine. Knowing Russians, someone probably drank the vodka and replaced it with water before it was filled into the plane.
>>543487881russia really is Nigeria with snow
>>543484327The US also has 76x B-52s in service, which OP conveniently failed to mention when comparing American and Russian strategic bombers.
I miss Nighthawks.
>>543487930The Tu-22 and MiG-25 both had open-loop evaporative cooling systems that used a mixture of 40% ethanol and 60% distilled water, effectively identical to standard vodka. This resulted in many incidents with ground crews siphoning off the coolant and drinking it. The Russian military tried replacing the ethanol with methanol (which is toxic) but this just resulted in severe poisoning and death among ground crews servicing those jets.
>>543487683Tu-95 and B-52 are both 1950s designs heavily modernized as standoff missile platforms (Tu-95MS/MSM with Kh-101, B-52 with ALCMs/JASSM). Russia fields the Tu-160 as a more advanced non-stealth strategic bomber, the U.S. relies on B-1B (1980s too) similarly. Neither has fielded a stealth bomber yet (PAK DA delayed, B-21 entering service). B-52 gravity bombing occurs mainly against weak defenses, both doctrines prioritize long-range missiles over penetration.

Recently, i sold all my real estate in this shithole already in 2023 and obtained few foreign passports along with real estate abroad, and i rent here now. I persuaded my parents to do the same. Thats because i _know_ that Bolanda will become a part of drone warfare soon just like Ukrwanda. I am not here to spread propaganda, i just state facts.

>>543491095I like Russia. I like their culture, huge contribution they made to science, art, literature, music etc. I love Dostoyevskiy and Bulghakov. They defeated Napoleon and Hitler. They were even smart enough to kick out all Jews to borderlands (Poland + Ukraine). I would want Poland to have great military/technological/economical relations rather with Russia and China than with the bankrupt West. I prefer having good constructive relations with empire having a border with my country than with distant empire overseas.

>>543493474>>543493605B-1B Lancer is optimized for NOE penetration at high subsonic speeds. Tu-160 was designed primarily as a high-altitude, high-speed standoff missile platform, not a dedicated NOE penetrator, different doctrines, moron. Glass cockpits became standard in many Western combat jets and airliners in the 1980s, but original Tu-160s retained analog instruments like many contemporaries. Upgrading them (as done on Tu-160M) is a real modernization exactly as the US has done repeatedly with the B-52 and B-1B, you fkn stupid Mutt. The original B-1B (1986) used a mostly conventional analog cockpit with limited CRT/VSD, not a full glass cockpit. Full digital upgrades (IBS) came decades later. Soviet/Russian aircraft also adopted glass cockpits in the 1980s: the Ilyushin Il-96 and Tupolev Tu-204 featured them (fully replacing analog gauges in later variants) matching Western airliner timelines.

>>543484327coping pretty hard for just 6 russians killed, why?
>>543493919B-2 aint truly stealth. Its early radar-absorbent coatings are humidity/rain-sensitive, need climate-controlled hangars, require massive post-flight maintenance. Its stealth is mainly frontal, side/rear radar and IR signatures are far less controlled. So its more "lab/fair-weather stealth" than real operational stealth.B-21 aims for durable, all-aspect stealth: RAM integrated into composite skin, weather-resistant, outdoor parking, buried intakes/exhaust with IR cooling and designed for daily sorties with lower maintenance so it is a real stealth, at least on paper

>>543484327Is Russia's nuclear posture in trouble, calmanon? Personally I think its solid but the air-leg :S
>>543495149BTW, B-2 required over 50 hours of maintenance per flight hour for stealth skin restoration (kek). The mid-2000s introduction of a sprayable RAM coating improved repair turnarounds a bit, but never fully erased its delicate operational nature
