Message to Iran: B-52 Bombers Deployed To Middle East

The U.S. military deployed B-52 bombers to the Middle East Saturday, just days after the Trump administration announced a partial withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan and Iraq. 

U.S. Central Command said the U.S. Air Force B-52H “Stratofortress” aircrews conducted the mission on "short notice" to "deter aggression and reassure U.S. partners and allies."

“The ability to quickly move forces into, out of and around the theater to seize, retain and exploit the initiative is key to deterring potential aggression," said Lt. Gen. Greg Guillot, 9th Air Force commander.

"These missions help bomber aircrews gain familiarity with the region’s airspace and command, and control functions and allow them to integrate with the theater’s U.S. and partner air assets, increasing the combined force’s overall readiness.”

A lot of truth and attitude.

The B52 is great against a massed target, but if you want precision targeting, use A-10s. Yes the I know the f@@king US Air Force does not agree.

I would guess that the Massive Ordinance Penetrator will be going with the B-2s to bust the re-enforced concrete bunkers that the Iranians have for their nuclear facilities.

I heard Boeing offer to build new B52s back in the 80/90s timeframe. The Air Force said no...

The A-10 is useless except in undefended airspace, or in a situation where its life expectancy is measured in hours, as it would have been against Warsaw Pact forces in an all-out war in the 1980’s. The B-52 can launch 20 cruise missiles against targets as far as 600 miles away. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGM-158_JASSM#AGM-158B_JASSM-ER Another way of putting this is that it can target any point in Iran from outside Iranian airspace.
