Physics might say that the bomber didn't cross over those mountains in the background and be that level at that altitude. It looks impressive, but seems to be unrealistic.
I like the picture though.

Bomber flys in left to right, turns over lake.

However, the scenario is not contra indicated by physics or aerodynamics at all.

As a pilot, I can easily see how it could be done, but a hallmark of the B1B is an ability to fly low and slow.

It was designed to penetrate Russian defenses by doing exactly that.
