    If the plane is so good, why not restore its production?
    Or is it that the "Soviet galoshes" of modern Russia are no longer within our power to make?

      Wherever there, only "deep modernization of galoshes" is possible.

    It took more than 160 years to repeat the Tu-5, and it is not clear whether the new one was made from the old backlog or is it really all new.

    Why not make saber blades for Tu-95MS propellers? Vibrations will disappear, it will easily go to subsonic and the plane will last another 50 years soldier

    Tu 160, Tu 95. These planes launch missiles at Ukraine without entering its space. Seems like normal. But, the question arises: If not entering, then why such an expensive plane. Can a cheaper transporter be used for such purposes?
