They did?
Are you talking about the Tu-95? But that has nothing to do with the B-52.
More than you think mach... The russians were copying designs of ours as much as possible. This did not mean that the Russian equivalents were exactly alike the American designs all the time and you just pointed that out. the Bear was the ANSWER to the B52
but they stole our space shuttle, they stole the concord, they stole the B29, they now have a Russian version of the F22. theres other models of american designs that were taken by the russians too i just cant remember them all
