It will reportedly have a new engine — four of the NK-32 02 series seen below — which will add 600 miles to its flying range.

Russia is the only European country that uses strategic bombers.

They do not use strategic bombers because they do not have strategic military goals. It is prerogative of the US - the "defender" of Europe.
