Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine
And the TU-95s (large long-range strategic bombers) and the TU-22M3s (supersonic long-range bombers) aren’t being manufactured any more, so they can’t be replaced…
Addendum - as these planes were also part of the Russian nuclear deterrent triad (land, air, and sea, and the Russian boomer subs aren’t on continuous patrol, unlike the U.K. and the USA), I would imagine there’s a lot of re-planning taking place to balance out the loss of a substantial part of the air delivery side of Instant Sunshine…
