It takes 12 hours for the B-52 to reach their targets inside Russia. Do you think with the ever improving air defenses and fighter defenses they can reach their targets?

Well, you have two choices from what I know. The B-52 can be used as a missile carrier or you can go in low. I've seen footage of a B-52 flying Nap of the Earth in West Virginia, it was pretty cool and I'm sure takes a lot of skill.

The B-52 would have a problem with modern air defenses. It would be best as a missile platform, bringing large loads of cruise missiles near the target while staying out of range of enemy AAM. It would also be good for leveling places without modern air defenses.
