The B-52 wouldn’t be as much of a threat - these days it’s not a very good penetrator against modern air defenses. It can only be used if hostile air forces and much ground defense has been suppressed or destroyed.

So... next week, then...

Pretty much, but again, the ‘52 isn’t nearly the initial threat it used to be - technology has moved on and the F-35 is far more threatening in terms of destroying defenses. The ‘52 is what happens to your country after your defenses are destroyed.
