The Russkies say they aren't flying their
new bomber patrols w/
nukes.

Russia has 79 strategic bombers in service including 64 Tupolev-95MC, known as Bears by NATO pilots, and 15 Tupolev-160, known as Blackjacks by NATO, according to Russian media.
"There is deep modernization (of the bomber fleet) going on," Androsov said. "We are working on a new generation (of bombers), I don't even know what it will be called."
Oh well. Guess the Doomsday Clock can go back a few seconds.
