Meh.
Much ado about nothing/clickbait. The TU-160 wing is [looks at airshow pictures of people walking by them] like 15-20 ft in the air unloaded. She had plenty of room. The MI-24 was a closer, but still feet away, at least, and had just taken off so was going pretty slow. The flybys were well above her.
American safety standards aren't everyone's, and while we tend to have pretty good "but nobody died" records we also tend to be *very* conservative about things like industrial and military safety.
I'd assume that the bigwigs in both the military and news wanted a cool shot, told the pilots to get a little close but not hit her, and they did just that.
