B52 on track to Russian Border

Money is only better gear and material but in combat doesn’t make all the difference . Pay to win doesn’t work in real life like in video games.

Won't it fly on its own? Why does it have to be transported by rail to the Russian border?

All that being said….they have to want to win, not just be able to. Which is why we didn’t.

Won't carry gravity bombs like the B-61 according to the link. It mentions it still can use the AGM-86 series which are nuclear capable cruise missiles that could fire from the hold point in Estonia and hit Moscow if using the AGM-86B variant (range of 1500 ish miles).

Makes sense. B-52's wouldn't fare well in the modern SAM environment, even one as poorly proven as Russia's. Leave the gravity bomb types to the B-2 and B-21's as they come online.

Neither did the Russians... No one actually has any idea how it will go down between these two powers.

You're talking about a plane that has been through a lot and come out strong! I was in the Air Force. I've been inside the B-52 have you? Don't talk bad about things that you don't understand. Bombing the crap out of people that hide in caves in multiple thousands of acres of land is a difficult thing to achieve. You have to have boots on the ground. The Russians couldn't handle it and they got out

But I really agree with you that we need to leave foreign lands alone. Aside from us having bases all around which is a good thing. Thomas Jefferson even warned against foreign entanglements

Who keeps pinning these garbage threads. Makes the whole site look stupid.

so what's the point on making circle here and there for this Stratofortress?

I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed, but 30 million tops.

Just so you know, both the US and Russia understand that 1 bomber will never start a preventive nuclear strike on the US. So, nobody in Russia really cares about that. They will say that an American nuclear bomber came close to Russia to galvanize Russians against the West, and the Russians will get angry at the West over it, but the reality is that nobody in the military is really scared.

This is an act to put America's vassals in Eastern Europe at ease. They still believe that a single plane can scare Russia so America flys it for them to make them feel "safe" and they, like idiots, actually believe that.

FYI, if the US will ever decide to carryout a preventive nuclear strike against any country, it will have to use its entire military.

Thanks for all the pins today

Unless you are referring to a Hellcat (unlikely), Chargers are the future trailer park cars, not unlike the Trans Am of past.

Noise does not equal speed, and they are fugly.

To the topic at hand hand, I agree, we do not really know what Russia has, but on the same note, we don't really know what we have either.

For all we know, both sides may have weapons that make nukes look like child's play; thus, putting us all in far more danger than we realize.

Looks like a dick pic to me

Ohhhh noooo!

A B-52 already crossed about a mile into Russian airspace about maybe 2 weeks ago. This may have been part of the reason the Russians got aggressive with the drone in the Black Sea.

Afghanistan was outstanding Russia 3 to 1 thanks to the USA. Building DUMB's bunkers. Sending load after load of munitions manuals etc. Training their leaders. Same thing happening in 🇺🇦. If the USA ever has to go against a real adversary not fishermen and farmers 40 years behind us ugh. Lord help us....

Nice propaganda, but US troops obliterated Russian troops in Syria.

USA was nation building in Afghanistan, not genociding and annexation like what Russia is doing to Ukraine.

Theyd have to fight some b2s and f22's first.

We've got a few updates on this as of 30 minutes ago:

B-52s will fly 200 feet above the ground and reach the Target.

I see you're a news watcher. Keep watching your news
Obliterated bwahahaha.
Like when Russians rammed our buffalo and 3 of our soldiers hit the infirmary with "jolted necks"

They are used as cruise missile platforms. they can carry 8 internally and 12 externally. If there was a war, you would see multiple B-52's with plenty of fighter escort.

I suspect that the B-52's are being fitted to carry multiple hypersonic nuclear missiles. The U.S. has had two successful tests of the hypers so far, and may be further along in development than we have been told. The U.S. will make Russia complacent seeing B-52's flying close to their border, until they launch hypersonic's at Moscow in an attempt to destroy Russia command and control systems, at the beginning of the U.S./NATO attack on Russia.

B-52's won't be dropping B-61's at 200ft above the ground unless the USAF wants to lose every single aircraft.

Any mission to enter Russian airspace would be given to the B-2 and soon B-21 in today's age. The B-52 would be stand off, firing cruise missiles.


Regardless, if we have aircraft heading in to Russia to attack, it's the worst case scenario because that would mean Russian ICBM's have already hit the US or in route to do so.

What a simpleton.

Lmfao lay off the crack mate. Your hel ets getting a little tight.

Any day i would put my beater biscayne up against a hell cat or demon or whatever pos comes off the factory line. The fact is you are unable to look past the first pass. Not only would that car take anything coming off the assembly line, it would do it for far longer and would survive and thrive refit after refit. but you can keep your crappy italian-made chinese -owned fragile uniframe shitbox if it makes you feel better. Just know there are more chargers and challengers in the scrap yard right now than there are on the road. newer is not better. it could be, but it's not.
