disaster Russian Jet Buzzing By American Plane

For all that the Tupolev Tu95 airframe is 70-years old (it was first in 1952), it's got a beautiful style to it. That raked tail and swept wing looks so aggressive.
Not forgetting those 4 Kuznetsov NK-12 turboprop engines, with the contra-rotating blades - that give the plane it's distinctive roar when flying - they are the most powerful turboprop engines on any plane still in active service.

Yes, I'm a Bear fanboy. I might disagree with the Russian political agenda (or Putin's dreams of making Russia an empire again), but damn... Andrei Tupolev made an awesome plane.
