Noel Mintern what that underscores is the fact that intercontinental range nuclear bombers became so prohibitively expensive early on in the cold war that trying to replace them was beyond the means of even the two superpowers. If you recall, the United States Air Force originally planned to replace the B-52 with the B-70 but the Kennedy administration realized that Russian SAM missile technology rendered that aircraft obsolete. Then they tried to replace them with the B-1, then the B-2, in each time the cost was so extravagant that only a limited number of airplanes was produced.

And yes, of course they are upgraded in avionics and engines, I mean upgraded to a new aircraft completely. The reason they aren't is because it's a strategic bomber do you understand? Nuclear war, end of the world. These are not used in tactical or limited scope Wars. It would take five or six of these things reaching mainland United States to functionally destroy this country with the cruise nuclears it carries. Five or six. So it doesn't need to be a couple of hundred miles an hour faster, it doesn't need to be able to maneuver it doesn't need it just needs to be able to take off with a huge load of bombs and move them pretty quick. And they keep upgrading there's like we do ours, and these things have awesome engines that are efficient, good Avionics and pilots who are well-trained. If these are launched at you, do not call them cold war junk. If they launched 100 of these things, we would have to down all 100 otherwise the United States would be torn apart. And we would not get all 100. That piece of Cold War junk could kill 30 to 40 million people with one payload

One area where the Tu-95 really needs updating, is the propellers. It's the noisiest plane on the planet, which isn't an issue for delivering stand-off weapons, but even if you disregard nuisance value and crew discomfort (as Russians are wont to do), ll that resonant vibration has gotta be hard on the airframe and sophisticated equipment that makes it more advanced. There's gotta be a better, quieter, and more efficient solution that doesn't sacrifice speed. Adding blades could reduce prop diameter and thus tip speed (maybe allow for lighter, less-leggy landing gear), although I doubt they could get the prop blades subsonic and still pull that aircraft at speeds usually reserved for jets. Maybe exotic-shaped blades and/or ducting...

I personally enjoy tu 95 somewhat more. with round fuselage instead of oval and those magnificent props it looks a lot more classy and elegant than b52, though being almost just and brutal. And what i like more is fuel efficiency of those turboprops (actually a passenger derivative - tu114 which is a close match to b767 in terms of size, weight, range and speed, has on average the same fuel consupmtion with its late 50s engines as b767 with engines of 1980s which is still in white spread use) - so with the same range and load and only lightly lower speed, tu95 is 20 tonnes lighter in full load and is significantly more economical to operate.

The reason for the Contr-rotating Props is you would need a much larger propeller for the engine's output, and they couldn't clear the ground or they would have to have all 8 blades on each engine. But then the torque would tear the engines from the wings. By using the "counter-rotating props, you nullify the engine torque.
