Probably the main reason its still in service is due to its high reliability, like the 52, and probably lower cost to operate per hour compared to others.
Also if they can be be outfitted with stand off weapons with long range cruise missiles so it doesn’t have to go into danger zone, just close enough is good enough like 52. It’s the long range missiles that keep these old bombers still in service, if no long range missiles then they would be useless.

Маленькое уточнение: ваш брат летал не на Ту-95, а на Ту-142МК. Это противолодочный вариант на базе Ту-95. Советский Союз поставил для Индии 8 таких машин во второй половине 80-х годов. Они эксплуатировались до 2016 года. Индийцы очень высоко ценили Ту-142МК. Мне посчастливилось эксплуатировать эти машины в Индии на авиабазе Араконам в качестве авиатехника. За тридцать лет очень интенсивной эксплуатации ни одна из 8-ми машин не потерпела катастрофу. Да, были иногда летные происшествия, но в основном из-за человеческого фактора. Ярким примером этого было летное ЧП, когда после проведения работ на одном из внешних двигателей индийские авиатехники не полностью провели монтаж жаровых труб ( выхлопных по простому), а только наживили болты по всему периметру. А на следующий день машина ушла в полет. В результате в полете возник пожар. Самолёт и экипаж спасло мастерство летчиков. Зафлюгировав винты они экстренно посадили самолёт. После проведения ремонта самолет продолжал ещё долго летать. Выскажу здесь восхищение профессионализму индийских пилотов и одновременно подчеркну высокую надежность самолёта Ту-142МК. Я знаю о чем говорю. За 35 лет работы на этих машинах многое повидал. Низкий поклон Андрею Николаевичу Туполеву за этот легендарный самолёт!
Just funny to consider the B52, the TU 95 and CH47 all came out in the 1950's (I think the first ch47's came out in 1959) And they are still in service.
Comparing Tu 95 and B 52 I came to the following conclusions: - The B 52 consumes 4.33x more fuel - Has 4x more expensive engine response That says the B 52 is 17.33x more expensive to maintain. - B 52 is 1.14x faster - B 52 has 2.12x more the payload - The B 52 has 1.52x longer range That says the B 52 has 3.66x better features than Tu 95. Altogether Tu 95 is 4.74x more economical in performing its tasks than B 52.
Its still potent because of the missiles it carry which are modern cruise missiles, including the new hypersonic variants. It doesn't need to be agile or fast, because its range strike are the missiles not the platform itself. Plus, its reliable, efficient.
The US fear it. They will even send the F-22 Raptor to intercept it. Why send such capable fighter jet not other propeller driving fighter?? Bear is the monster of the sky....
There have been attempts to make another aircraft with such an awesome soundtrack, including with contra-rotating propellers, but all failed to deliver. That's why the BEAR remains in service.

to induce instability. because its so heavy and the wings root towards teh upper half of teh fuselage cross-section that "hanging weight" makes it awfully hard to control with ailerons. therefore negative dihedral gives it that instability and thus sensitivity to roll input. mind you there is likely other reasons for this too but i imagine what i said applies to it just as much as the titanic antonov AN-225
Minor correction: The Avro Vulcan was taken out of service in 1984, but some examples remained airworthy and were used in shows and government things for the Royal Family etc. Sorry!
The Tu-95MS is a cruise missile bomber born in the 70s. Its first flight is in 1979, in the city of Taganrog, into mass production from the 80s. It is basically a Navy Tu-142MK, modified for the Soviet (now Russian) Long Range Aviation. Nothing to do with a "Tu-95 Bear". The Tu-95 Bear is not in the Russian service sice early 90s..... Nothing to do also with the B-52 (the last B-52H is from 1962...), different aircraft, different purposes: the Tu-95MS is a cruise missile carrier, no bombs.
Basically the TU-95 and its variants are the Russians opposite to your (US) B-52, but without the much better payload capacity? The RAF retired the Vulcan years ago. Last combat usage was against Argentine Airfields in the 1982 Falkland War.
People have been dissing the Tu-95 and its propellers since 1952. And here it is, still working. Your argument (what little there is) is nothing new, and just as wrong.
And yet it was converted into an airliner and was and still is the fastest turboprop aircraft. Not just that, the fact that it WAS the fastest aircraft at it's time tells you a lot more.
The Tu-95 is equipped with a turboprop engine and is a missile carrier. Dropping free-falling bombs from it is useless. A turboprop engine is quite economical compared to a turbojet engine. And it still does not enter the air defense zone thanks to the X-101
Constructive criticism? I think you put too much inflection in your narration which sounds too much like TV programs which is not a good thing in my opinion. Apparently 559k people don't mind or tolerate it so maybe it is just me but it really does deter me from watching your videos which is a shame i love aircraft.
One of the reasons it's still in service? Perhaps because it has never gone to war. Think about it . . . In the late 60's and 70's the BUFF was flying over hostile territory with combatants doing their best to bring it down. And pretty much in every decade since, the B52 has delivered; one might argue whether for good or bad, but it was doing what it was designed to do. Now, the Bear is an interesting plane, but how many times was it really put to the test?

- The B 52 consumes 4.33x more fuel

That says the B 52 has 3.66x better features than Tu 95.
Altogether Tu 95 is 4.74x more economical in performing its tasks than B 52.
Both are highly reliable, just shows how great they're and how both countries refuse to let go of these old but capable beasts.
boris, that is cool!
Analyzing both planes, I came to the startling fact that for the same money, the Tu 95 can carry 2.23x more weight.
I started the analysis with the preconception that the B 52 was a better aircraft, but the facts convinced me otherwise.
Price wise B-52 likely cost 2 to 4 time more.
Also the in 1961,Tu-95 was used to drop hydrogen bomb "Tsar Bomba" on the Novaya Zemlya Island.
Very simple, just like the B-52, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!
