#2 Those would be the propellor-driven Bears, which would be wiped out immediately by any armed opposition?

#4 Those ancient, propeller-driven BEARS carry a very nasty Air-to-ground nuke missile that can hit a target 1400 miles away, so don't dismiss them. They're also great for threatening. The Russers are playing an old game that we've learned to respond to quite well. The Brits did exactly the right thing - show Russia they're still a capable fighting force if pushed too far. Not a GREAT fighting force, but enough to bloody Russia's nose and make Moscow uninhabitable.
