Dutch Air Force Jets Intercept Russian Planes

None of the Russian prop driven bomber uses/purposes exist in the modern world. Russia has satellites, is no longer our total advesary and we even share space missions with joint US/Russian astronaut crews.

Russia has huge infrastructure needs, not the least of which is better public housing, better hospials, more modern medical colleges.

There should be multiple railroad lines from Russia thru Siberia to the Pacific coast of Russia, Vladavostoc and other cities on Asian end of Russia.

There are already a goodly number of US-Russian student exchanges, but more would be healthy, both with the US and the res tof the educated world, Europe, Japan, Australia, etc.

1. While Russia would build another rail line on its far east. United States at this time will set its missiles on the western borders of Russia. In my opinion some do not match? So sometimes have to make difficult choices.
2. Before we talk about infrastructure development do not forget about the climate. Russia is the only civilization was created in such extreme conditions. Canada, Norway, Finland and Sweden can live very well, with four F-35 and 2 tanks at all. Their total population is about 35% of Russian. If they try to create a proportionate military arsenal to Russia. Two years later they will have nothing to eat.
a) Let us compare the banal housing (for clarity, private brick house). In the U.S., in most of the I can do wall thickness of 0.5 bricks (with increased load-bearing structures). In central Russia, I need to build such a structure with thick walls of brick 2-2.5 (otherwise I would freeze to death or to splurge on heating). Add to that the double windows, ceiling insulation, and other things. Add also the heating system.
c) Add the cost of heating this building for seven months a year.

So in all things (clothing, food, etc.).
 
. .
then why does the American Air Force plan to keep the B-52 in service till probably 2050
B52 is likely the most successful bomber aircraft ever built. It is superior to Tu-95 in most aspects. Learn about its capabilities from here.

The amount of firepower it can deliver is enormous and it can fit in to a wide variety of roles.

Tu -95 easier. As I wrote above, the platform Tu -95 performs a variety of features not available to the B-52 (TU -95 is more versatile). All Tu-95 produced from 1981 to 1992 (consisting at this time in service).
This is a fairly new aircraft in its class.
The most potent strategic bomber Tu-160 is.
Maximum speed 2200 km / hour.
Maximum load 40 000 kg. (12 cruise missiles X-55 or 24 X-15).
However, the platform is the Tu-160 was excessive for some missions. Therefore, production and use of modifications of the Tu-95 took place in parallel with the more advanced Tu-160.
