Ok, then it makes sense.
But Kirov definitely looked a lot better in 1998 than today.
But did they really have red star bow insignia in Yeltsin's times?

yeah man why not

So T-90A took part in V-Day parade in Volgograd, Moscow and Rostov-on-Don. How about other cities? As far as I know T-90A's also are in some brigade near Vladikavkaz.

and in Abkhazia.

LOL Yeah-yeah, Russia is the homeland of elephants.

Just FYI, but this is hardly "first time in world aviation". In 1957, 3 B-52B Stratofortresses have flown a round-the-world non-stop mission in 45 hours and 19 minutes.

I suppose the key is "Supersonic". The Buffs obviously didn't fly Mach 1
So they want to beat the 1957 record by more than half.

It's not a round-the-world flight. They are flying from Engels AFB over the Arctic Ocean, skirting Alaska, flying around Japan and then over Siberia back to Engels. And the video mentioned that only 10 minutes are spent in supersonic cruise.

Sure, it maybe a record for Tu-160, but not a world record.

SO these are t90A, looks alot worse than the usual t90 model, these look like modified t80s.
