Try Kh-22 or Kh-55 variants of Bears and you got a bomber with supersonic or 3000km range cruise missiles where exactly do yours compare to? , now tell me if that doesn't sound useful to you? Even without them , even without anything but simple bombs you got yourself a strategic bomber that nobody but Russia or the USA has , and strategic bombers have proven themselves to be everything but useless.
-Old bomber? the bombers have been upgraded several times and they are far from being old , same goes for B-52 , you got a bomber that was created several decades ago but all the versions are upgraded to very modern standards and are not the 50's bombers anymore
-What are you talking about?? no man portable anti air systems can reach 39,000 feet

To other ppl im not comparing B-52 and Tu-95 because B-52 is better overall in my opinion but the Tu-95 does not fall that much behind too call it useless , and I suggest you go read more articles on the Bear because you don't seem to know much about it calling it useless and bad.
