Excuse me, but by the same measure, strategic/MPA Bears can also be used in a package, together with fighters, AWACS, tankers, and more modern Su-34s, Blackjacks & Backfires. Thanks to their range, they may get into positions to attack multiple targets before they are themselves can be attacked. Otherwise, why keep them in the RN/AF & Indian AF?
Make the effort to understand what supporting systems are available, what systems exist, what logistics is required to present a persistent package on a mission.

STOP throwing names and numbers into responses unless you understand the basics. This is getting really tiresome, and you have been repeatedly warned about your posting behaviour.

Longevity of a platform has no relevance against a capability matrix - there are a whole pile of other factors involved - including the purchasing and replacement frugality/cycle/competency/threat matrix issues.
