I would be more worried about short, medium and intercontinental range ballistic missiles which Russia is hitting Ukraine with very often.
Like the Iskander platform and missile stockpiles and factories.

They were strategic bombers?
And a Russian equivalent of an AWAC? Expensive bit of kit, that.

Some were , yes, but some were Soviet Era and just used as missile carriers, if you will.

You know this, how?
Because I'm in the business to know, unlike you.

That type of military strike would trigger a full response. Lets say the fleet wasn't as operational as advertised and they don't care, that would be a clear sign that Russia was no longer a super power and I think that would cause some additional fallout. Also if you think U.S. couldn't get a b-52 to any point in the world it might surprise you.
They would get shot down so far away its pointless. Sure it was a hit and they lost a ton of bombers that are so obsolete they wouldn't be able to preform the task they were designed to do in the first place. Those bombers don't make Russia a superpower anymore than B-52s make us one. Its the weapons that would actually make it to the target that make us superpowers.
If anything wiping out 1/3 of their TU-95s freed up some budget to spend elsewhere...and thats if they even actually destroyed 40 planes...I have yet to see proof other than 4 planes. If they could get footage from the drones hitting the 4 we have seen why not all of them. Wouldn't that make great propaganda for them to show all those different hits?...wonder why we haven't seen more flaming planes than those 4 we are shown on repeat..

This was the equivalent of Ukraine hitting a section of Davis Monthan AFB and wiping out some old B-52Gs and then clapping themselves on the back.

I only know what you have claimed to do.
As for not knowing anything about me, I'm not a "lady".
Epic fail.
I will reply to whoever I want to, thanks.

I have not once ever claimed to have ever "inspected civilian aircraft" I said I'm an inspector for one of the 4 MIC companies, so you can cease with the lies.
