B-58 Hustler compared to Soviet types(Blinder and Backfire)

i was wondering how the american B-58 Hustler bomber compares to the Tupelov Blinder and leter Backfire(2versions) in speed, payload, range, electronic countermeasures(are soviet systems known about on the 2 Tupelov bombers yet?), radar and similar avionics capability, crew member numbers and roles, and more info. has anyone done any detailed studies on these planes? i think they should be compared and talked about, at least the Blinder and Hustler. as the american jet was rather advanced with podded weapons and escape capsules how far ahead of the time wa sit? why was the Hustler pulled out of service in 1970, too labour intensive? a lovely jet though and the russian ones are nice too.
