Yes. The Tu-160 is a deadly aircraft. Thank heavens Russia doesn't have many of them. I think 24, and not all in flying order. Of course, they don't need many. The B-1 is basically it's equivalent and we have more B-1's with cruise missiles (nuclear warhead equipped), then they can muster. Plus we've got B-2's and B-52's which gives us the quantitative and qualitative edge over these few Russian bombers. My only thought is why there is not more of an outcry from any global peacenik organizations screaming about the destabilizing effects Russia may be bringing with these flights. They may not be viewed by the Pentagon and the UK's Defence Ministry as threatening, but they aren't exactly friendly flying exhibitions.
