Then your evaluation scheme is flawed. Would you have said the B-2 was a less capable bomber than the B-52 before the 1998 Kosovo campaign, I think not.

The fact that the B-52 has undertaken loads more missions and dropped loads more bombs only serves to verify the capability of the B-52, and not degrade the capability of the Tu-95.
