Already nobody can stop a B-1B.

But, we'll need to look to the future.

What I hear now days is the concept of "clusters". A big bomber with a few small craft in company. One of those craft will have a pilot, weapons officer and a "cluster controller" which can be backed up via Satellite comms or another "cluster" if in range. The bomber itself will be unmanned.

The other smaller vehicles will be "threat suppression"...similar to fighters, though they will not supplant Raptors etc.

Of course this could all be drunks talking and I could be a chronic liar.

Problem is, we found out how risky this UAW thing is over Iran.. I’d like to think it was a ‘Trojan horse’ mission but who knows..

Wow, I looked it up, and apparently we fly 100 of these? I don’t hear much about them. Saw one at an airshow.

I hope you mean the B-2. The B-1B is not much more survivable than a B-52.
