70,000 LBS OF frickING ORDINANCE.

That's crazy.

B-2 Spirit and B-1 Lancer strikes have seemingly neutralized major air defense nodes and command infrastructure.

Do we know if the B-52s are actually operating over Iran or launching cruise missiles from a distance?






The Buff is over there and sporting revolvers.

You want all this shite to be true so you do your damnedest to speak it into existence.

Sad.

It doesn’t appear so, but I believe the B-1 has a larger capacity, yet is not certified to carry all kinds of bombs that the b52 can.

B-1 can carry 75k plus another 50k externally
B52 carries 70k altogether.

Multiple trade offs and different roles for sure.

Agree with a lot, except don't ever call Iranians Arab.

They are not the same.

You betcha, gumdrop. You sound like you have a much tighter grasp on the situation than the US Military.

Just because the bombs use gravity instead of propulsion doesn't mean that they aren't precision weapons.

They hit the ground 100% of the time.

Growing up in Shreveport roughly 6 miles from Barksdale I love me some B-52s. I miss the days of seeing the A-10s flying low and fast.

Can you imagine being an Iranian soldier knowing you gave no air defense? I can already hear the sound of the WEF countries screaming for us to stop.

The USA must let them know that war is horrible. It must be witnessed. It is the only way to prevent more war.

That is a bad arse base for sure. I remember they sent Bush there first after 911. It is huge.
