Firepower - Strategic Air Power (Part 3/3)

No aircraft is a better symbol of strategic power than the B-52 Stratofortress bomber. Take part in a B-52 mission, high in the stratosphere over Iraq. From its beginnings as a long-range nuclear bomber in the early years of the Cold War, the B-52 has assumed an important new role as a conventional bomber, continuing to play an important part in US military operations, alongside such hi-tech bombers as the B-1B Lancer and the stealthy B-2 Spirit bomber.

Ту 160 лучше он сверхзвуковой и имеет возможнось "низкого полета" (50 метров) для прорыва противовоздушнй обороны противника.

I like this plane it's proven excellent for carpet bombing but I do prefer the Tu 160.
