>>> The upgrade comes as the air force tried to keep its remaining 76 H-model B-52s combat-relevant through 2040 as the classified Northrop Grumman long-range strike bomber (LRS-B) enters service <<<

What’s that: 80-90 years in service?

"its remaining 76 H-model B-52s"

Wonder if there is even a molecule of the original metal left on the airframes.
