“Meanwhile, the B-52 penetrating Russian or Chinese air defense is getting more and more difficult.”

In this day and age,, that would be as archaic as parchuting in a team to blow up the Guns of Navarone.
Today, there would be 2 cruise missiles fired from a sub,, and the movie would only last a couple of minutes.
Ohhh,,, and the coastal gun are also obsolete.

B-52s are awesome where we have air supremacy, but we have far better missile and precision options in the nutty event of a world war with China or Russia.

A B-52 type aircraft can serve as both a bomb truck for leveling crap holes like Kandahar, and as a stand off missile launcher.
