I agree that B-52s are top notch , but you will rarely see in Western MSM "old Cold war" or " old 50`es era" design when it comes to B-52 (or anything else for that matter) reporting while you will see such style when it comes to Soviet/Russian produced planes. I`m not criticizing B-52 but MSM...
@Penguin , I never said Tu-95 is not Soviet era design , i said that Tu-95 currently in service are 80`s era production and technology and therefore Soviet era in this case doesn`t mean it `s old and obsolete.
Started sea trials of first "Grigorovich" Class frigate
Военный дневник Игоря Коротченко - Начались заводские ходовые испытания головного СКР проекта 11356 "Адмирал Григорович"
People should not take serious anything coming from Western MSM these days , I mean most of these journalists don`t get that for instance Tu-95s in RuAF active service is on average 30 years younger than USAF B-52s and they still dare to call "Soviet era" as it is something old LOL
T-90 is indeed T-72B but T-90A (including Indian version T-90 Bhishma) is more closer to Object 187 (turret)
Object 187 was being developed as successor of T-72 for Soviet army.
T-34 is an icon of WW2 victory in Russia and FSU and it`s inclusion to parade symbolizes respect to people who worked in factories to produce them , people fought in the machine(s) and machine itself in joint endeavour to achieve final victory.
There are limits to what copying can provide, WS-10 engine development started in 1987 and only recently (2014) brought to satisfactory performance to PLAA chiefs.
