The TU 95 (Bear) is slow, but has enormous range. Its a 50 year old design but still relevant. The Tu22 backfire, the ones they are using in Syria and the ones they test our air defence with, have a range of about 2500 miles. Both of course can be air to air refilled. Both a throwback to the nuclear age designed to deliver the big one, both now equipped with anti shipping missiles. (which means designed to cripple a US carrier battle group)

How suitable they are for pin point ground attack or carpet bombing against well spread out terrorists is another matter.
