The B-52 doing nuclear missions?

Riiiiiiiiiiiiggggggghhhhhhhtttttttt!

Unless it's carrying a Cloaking Device, the B-52 couldn't get to its target now in a nuclear environment in a Month of Sundays. It's radar signature must be off the chain!

"Now if you take a big plane like a 52, see..."

Teh Won's cancellation of the B-3 will have serious effects for strategic air down the line.

Best,

Between the electronic countermeasures and the nuke-tipped cruise missiles, a B-52 is very difficult to defend against.

The B-52 would be a standoff platform to launch nuclear cruise missiles in a real strategic environment. Launch shortly after takeoff from Guam and nuke Vladivostok.
