The Russian Tu-95MS bombers, also known as the “Bear” in NATO terminology, are long-range strategic bombers that have been a prominent part of Russia's air force since the Cold War era.

I am not surprised. Kinda expected that before I clicked on the link.

Isn't the B-52 from the 1950s? They're still in-use too.

And is projected to be in service for another fifty years, IIRC. Something to be said for not fixing things that aren't broken.
