Just one thing, Chico -- the Tu-16 is not capable of supersonic speeds down on the deck. If you want a combination of age and down-on-the-deck supersonic capability, I would replace the Tu-16s with Tu-22 Blinders, which are capable of Mach 1.22 on the deck (though they have no NOE capability and bombing accuracy would be poor; probably better to arm them with cruise missiles or SRAMs).
