  1. Back then they did not carry long range cruise missiles they carry today. These days Bears don't need to come very close

  2. Bears don't need to come close. Their job is not to fly near the age of airspace. If they do, this is only for pilot training. In reality, Bear has a very long range and it can launch 12 (or more) cruise missiles. They sit deeply in the middle of the country and they will have enough time to take off if Russia is under attack. These are literally launching pads for long range cruise missiles.

  4.  kolovrat...  You repeat Admiral Kirby's propaganda. Some publications however place Russian army 1st in the world as of now. They have a functional and modernized nuclear triad while Airforce and Army have learned miscalculations. And today there is no other force in the world that has combined experience of Russia. I take your comment as a joke. You called Russia second in Ukraine while Russia already has destroyed 3 Ukrainian armies. Ukraine practically does not produce any military equipment. They collect broken tanks and ship into different countries for repair. They don't have own satellites, intel, spy drones. Other states do it for Ukraine. Without it, Ukraine can last 3 days

  7. Joseph Stalin was a great state builder. He wouldn't believe what Gorbachev did to the empire he has built.

  8. Russia is not interested in faraway territories. Even czars realized on the experience of Spain Portugal, UK, etc that holding to the territories beyond the ocean is expensive and often not possible. This is why they sold Alaska, got rid of California Company, Hawaii.

  9. Why do you say, Putin ordered, Putin this or Putin that? Putin is not a military guru. Russia has intelligence, military intelligence and general staff. If they did not fly such missions, it was due to financial restrictions of the military. They emphasized the nuclear and submarine capability to ensure MAD. But once funds were available and planes can be regularly maintained and reproduced, and especially in the context of the world passed 2008, Russia found it affordable and necessary to fly these missions again. And I doubt Vladimir Putin personally orders or cancels these missions. This is business of the Russian Air and Space force in conjunction with military intelligence. + this is great way to give airmen flight hours.

  10. You have quite twisted view of Russian "dictators". Look what Murchison said Sir Roderick Impey Murchison, a prominent British geologist, traveled extensively throughout Russia. He addressed a large meeting at Hyde Park, London, against Great Britain entering The Crimean (Eastern) War with the following: "Even when Russia extends its possessions into bordering territories, it gives its new colonies more than it takes from them, unlike other world colonial powers. This doesn’t happen because Russia is governed by a particular philanthropy, nothing of the sort. Initial aspirations of all empires are hardly different from each other, but everything changes miraculously a when a Russian person comes in. Eastern Slavonic moral values formed way back in pre-Christian times and kept a Russian person from violating another’s soul or property when they don’t rightfully belong to them. Out of his deeply rooted unrelenting compassion, he is more inclined to give his last shirt than to take one from someone. Therefore, no matter how successful and victorious Russian arms are, Russia always loses as far as profitable gains go. Upon somewhat thorough research, one can easily discover that those defeated or under Russian patronage would usually win in the end: they keep their way of life and sacred institutions intact, in spite of their obvious insufficiency for any kind of progress, and they also gain financially and become more civilized overall. The cases of Estland [The Governorate of Estonia, or Estland, part of the Russian Empire in 1721 – 1917.] and Northern Caucasus are exemplary. For centuries, the peoples of these regions had been despised and violated by their neighbors, but took an honorable place among the nations of the Russian Empire and reached unparalleled prosperity. The life conditions of peoples of Russia, the metropole’s own population, didn’t improve at all. The latter seems paradoxical to us [people of Great Britain], but such is the reality, and it is undoubtedly based on the special nature of Russian morality."

  14. And it could be that way. But Russian action is a counter action. Russia has realized that they are becoming a frog in a boiling pot. Russia did not come to meddle in Mexico and Canada. It was someone who meddled in Ukraine

  15. Ike was misled by military that Soviets!! have crazy number of bombers while in reality they were lagging behind. Then, in the end Ike tried to warn about military industrial complex. He wanted to say "military industrial congressional" complex but removed last part due to political situation,
