The Tu-95 oneof the few Soviet aircraft that does not not have an insulting code name that it a sign of respect!

It just so happens that whatever happens to be in the queue is what is issued to the aircraft. For bombers, it's any noun starting with a "B": Tu-4, "Bull;" Tu-16, "Badger;" Tu-22, "Backfire", Tu-160, "Blackjack," and finally, Tu-95, "Bear." These NATO codenames are fear inspiring, in my opinion. Western commanders took these Soviet pieces of flying hardware as very serious threats capable of some impressive nuclear strikes and gave them appropriate names.

crucial to producing even supersonic air trust with CR props is the fact that two CR blades that are about to meet at near-supersonic speed in absolute terms, *relative to each other* are actually approaching each other at a speed that is way above supersonic. so if the first blade pushes the air at say 800 km/h the second one can give it a ferocious 2nd slap because it actually hits the moving air at 1600+ km/h. the tu 95 could go supersonic no prob without its props' blades going supersonic.
They fly routs of cold war: directly to UK or US but turn away from last moment. What does this mean? to fly loaded with weapons to the borders of "friend" country? They are training to bomb with nuclear weapons EU and US or Canada?
... or they are training EU and US forces and pilots to be ready for real intercept ;)
Any way they cannot violate airspace of EU and US or Canada. They just can do this with small countries like my Georgia.
