Tupolev TU-95 Bear Bombers.
These are the bombers that that were constantly edging into our airspace during the Cold War. and now Vladmir Putin is edging our airspace again.
"Russian bombers penetrated U.S. airspace at least 16 times in past 10 days
Russian strategic nuclear bombers conducted at least 16 incursions into northwestern U.S. air defense identification zones over the past 10 days, an unusually sharp increase in aerial penetrations, according to U.S. defense officials.
The numerous flight encounters by Tu-95 Russian Bear H bombers prompted the scrambling of U.S. jet fighters on several occasions, and come amid heightened U.S.-Russia tensions over Ukraine. Also, during one bomber incursion near Alaska, a Russian intelligence-gathering jet was detected along with the bombers."
