And isn't their fleet as old as Putin himself?

I don't see much of a threat there.

You must be thinking of the old Tu-4

Those old Soviet bombers are B-29 knockoffs. About 325MPH.

The Tupolev Tu-95 now in service is a completely new design and is similar to the B52. It is the fastest prop-driven aircraft in the world with a top speed of 570 mph and a cruising speed of 442 mph.
