I saw that plane at an airshow.

...in 1975.

[aulussulua]

Biggest threat is it breaking down and crashing on someone.

[BoxcarWillie]

Looks like a good target for an air to air missle. Oh yeah, nice avionics!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[allan]

Putin, don't wear the old planes out now, you might need to fight NATO 😅😂

[Kohen]

How nice it would be to be able to shoot down one of those flying junks.

[paulk]

It amazes me that the Russians are still using propellerd bombers. The UK decommissioned its excellent V class jet bombers in 1970 talk about obsolete.

[FullFrontalInvestigations]

Old bomber with outdated navigation equipment lol😂

[mimilapetite]

NATO :
Why does Russia still use these propeller antiques ?
RUSSIAN STAFF:
To refresh the pilots in flight, if you don't believe us, stop the engines and watch as they sweat...

The missile sent to shot that dinosaur down would have pitty on it and turn away🤣

[gtc]

Happened all the time back in the 80's, nothing new.

[darrellhall]

It's always nice to see planes from the 1960's flying around so proudly. Aerial cannon fodder

[canadaphil]

Its a good thing there weren't any P51's and Corsairs on patrol... That thing could have been in trouble.
😂

[antonioimago]

The Russian plane that dropped bombs on Syrian civilians

[mimilapetite]

Open days at national museums or back to the future for Russia ?

[lostinpa-dadenduro]

Yeah well, this has been going on for about 60 years now, so don’t get excited.

[TC-smrc]

Russians wouldnt know wat to do with these lol

[dominicgoudos]

lol strategic bomber.... you can hear that Dinosaur coming from a mile away

[USViper]

Who cares, we could fly over Moscow in our B21 Raider undetected

[stingrayman]

Pretty sure the Americans aren’t concerned about a turboprop bomber

[lawngaiyi]

Is the bouncing bed bouncy enough to return the bomb to the bomber?
