Strange they still use the bomb aimers windows 

 

Consider that GPS / Glonass may be jammed or flying in high latitudes where GPS/Glonass coverage is inadequate.  So no, it is not strange at all.

I guess they also use it to check out the landing zone when dropping supplies or parachuters. The standard Il-76 has a secondary bomber role too, so maybe the MD-90A retained that feature because of this? Or the work to redesign the whole front was just not considered worthwhile, and the navigators complained about the loss of their panoramic view :D

 

Cheers
