Its not a nuclear bomber. Its a bomber. It can carry nuclear bombs. But so can many other bombers. Nuclear bombs are not as large as they once were. And we would rather send nuclear weapons on missiles anyway. Less human error. And missiles are harder to shoot down.

Did much of our stealth plane technology design come from reverse engineered alien aircraft, recovered from crashes or shoot downs?
