Well, they were not exactly visiting in a welcome sense Russia has resumed long-range bomber flights over Europe, much as the Soviet Union did in the Cold War. More info here:

Yes, I'm from England.

B52 and Tu 95

Romani:

I believe the B52 entered service in 1952. The Bear dates from 1957.

I love the Tu 95. Looks so elegant and menacing at the same time. Love the photos on that site. Thanks Sreiko for the link.
