Even against the new Russian S-400 (SA-20) SAM? With it’s phased array, mach 8 speed and 200 mile range?

Or the Mig-31 with it’s phased array radar, long range AAMs?

I like the BUFF, but it isn’t a penetrator in these times against a threat like Russia.

Do a pre-sweep with air superiority fighters? I don’t think it would be wise to send in bombers without a sweep first, unless they were lightning quick, even then, you’re better off to gain air superiority before delivering to the ground.
