Russian bombers at it again...

Sam.

That's actually the core strategy behind MAD. It's a single-pass scenario akin to the Prisoner's Dilemma.

Stop harshing my 80s buzz Yale.

Haven't they been doing this since the 50s/60s?

Yes, with the same planes.

[Moose242]

Yes, with the same planes.

Our bombers are just as old.

[Trip McNeely]

Our bombers are just as old.

Not the B2. B-52 and B1, yes.

[Sgt Beavis]

Not the B2. B-52 and B1, yes.

Last I checked, the Tu-95 was a 1950's design. The B1 (actually the B-1b) is a 1970's design that went into production in the 1980s.

The B1 is still one bad bitch.

[Trip McNeely]

I always thought the B1 was older than the B-52. I'm no military plane expert though.

[Sgt Beavis]

The B1 is still one bad bitch.

It's not bad at all and they avionics on it were upgraded recently.

[Ruffdaddy]

Yes our shit is much newer, and our bombs fly themselves largely. They are also transported by other means now.

There's a reason the recent development has been on multirole 5th gen fighters. Go ahead and send that ancient pos bomber out here.

[Baba Ganoush]

It's not the planes we should worry about, it's the payload.

Hope we shoot them down far, far away from land.

Hope we shoot them down far, far away from land.

And that payload ain't getting close...

A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.

Classic!

If they are carrying certain versions of the Kent of Kangaroo missiles, it could (and probably should) be cause for some concern. Even the older versions were very capable, and who knows what updates they've made to them.
