B-52s are great if you've already established air dominance and neutralized air defenses. If you haven't they are really big radar targets and missile magnets.
As a aviation enthusiast, it's gotta be said, the B52 is one of the best planes ever built. The best by far was the Avro Vulcan though. While it's obsolete today, at the time it was in service, there were very few planes that could compare.
Canadian Avro Arrow , in its day was the most advanced fighter. In 1958, Diefenbaker, the new Prime Minister ordered all Arrows cut up and thrown in lake Ontario. They have, since been recovered for museums and history.
If there was actually a god who could and would physically assist and protect soldiers fighting in a war, why would this god not already know they need to be protected and just do it anyway without people such as yourself praying and asking, and why are children raped and murdered and why do literally hundreds die of starvation everyday?
@@hexhexhexia2964 not entirely true. You would never deploy either aircraft without a sufficient number of aircraft flying in the SEAD role. Then you send in the heavies. Or, like when the Gulf War kicked off. Have the B52’s flying in with cruise missiles, long range launch and RTB

@@simpinainteasyRHEC they’re military personal and they’ve probably trained a good while to fly bombers, so again, I very much doubt they care about the emissions.
US Diplomacy is awesome. The soviets / russians hate this particular aircraft that can change its course in a second. Russian military leaders and their air defense radar operators know once B52's are airborne they can travel into any hostile air space. Some may endure battle damage and be shot down. However, once their on-board cruise missiles are locked on , targets become neutralize quickly. Although, they're not stealth, B52's have outstanding sophisticated jamming systems. Which confuse defenders with decoys. It's no wonder this platform has been around over seven decades.
You're right in what you say about anti aircraft weaponry, but I think Mid 29's and SU30's are a different story. The US would need to have total air superiority and escort fighters and I cannot see that happening over Russian airspace. Mig 17's and Mig 21's are not fighting F4's or B52's trying to avoid basic SAMS anymore.

@heavenCancelor- agree with you about the upgrades and improvements with avionics but they have always used jet engines not props since they flew in 1952. Things have moved on a lot since then, the latest Russian SAMS, the S400, have a maximum altitude of 27000m (about 88000 feet), not exactly like Nam or flying over Berlin in a B17. Russia has vast weapons technology on par with anyone and after todays attacks near the Polish border would not be surprised if Nato has no choice but to join in.
I have great respect for the B52, being able to operate for so many years. Even older then most of us but the smoke this plane generate can kill people without dropping any bombs.
The B-52 Stratofortress is not intended to be used for incursions within reach of enemy air defences, but to be used as stand-off weapons carriers. The theory behind this is that the B-52 airframes are supreme in terms of payload carrying and the required software to operate such weapons can be easily added to them. Therefore, the B-52 is an ideal platform for this role: able to carry huge payloads, able to loiter at high altitude fir a long time, and able to launch long range cruise missiles/ munitions without coming into the range of the enemy.
I'm impressed every time I see that plane. I've watched as they flew over my head several times as I live near an Air Force Base. Video of the plane doesn't do it justice to the size and magnitude of this bomber.
In whatever way we want to look at it. This war shouldn't have started in the first place. Human beings are meant to resolve their differences through dialogue. War is a huge expense. It is very easy to start a war, very difficult to end a war, very difficult to recuperate after a war. Up till now, the North and South Koreans are still arch enemies based on the bloody bitter war they fought. Current example; Iraq, Libya and Syria. War destroys diplomatic relations, war creates hate among people, war destroys a country's economy, war isolates people from peace. War is not a useful tool to resolve conflicts. Not in this day and age. I wonder how the United Nations Security Council goes to bed at night knowing the situation the world is currently facing.
Wow...what insight. "This war shouldn't have started in the first place..." Well, it has, sunshine. Face it rther than conjuring up unicorn hypotheticals.
Yes, the United States Air Force operates B-52 bombers that are equipped with cruise missiles. The B-52 is a long-range, heavy bomber that has been in service with the US military since the 1950s, and it has been upgraded and modernized several times over the years to maintain its effectiveness. One of the B-52's most important roles is as a platform for launching cruise missiles, which are precision-guided weapons that can strike targets at ranges of hundreds of miles. The B-52 can carry a variety of different types of cruise missiles, including the AGM-86B/C/D, which is an air-launched cruise missile (ALCM) that can be equipped with either a nuclear or conventional warhead.

B52 bobbers are high altitude bombers. No rockets could touch them. Only fighter jets, but there’s fighter jets protecting the b52 normally.
Sir hill man they should hire you to run the Air Force. You sound like you know what to do.
The B-52 Stratofortress is not intended to be used for incursions within reach of enemy air defences, but to be used as stand-off weapons carriers. The theory behind this is that the B-52 airframes are supreme in terms of payload carrying and the required software to operate such weapons can be easily added to them. Therefore, the B-52 is an ideal platform for this role: able to carry huge payloads, able to loiter at high altitude fir a long time, and able to launch long range cruise missiles/ munitions without coming into the range of the enemy.
These eight engine models and the B2 carry nukes.
Eco warriors concerned about its engine fumes over its payloads 🤣
I was just thinking the same thing. They all get so wrapped up in their “causes” that they lose sight of the big picture😂
US AND NATO PLEASE HELP UKRAINE 😭😭😭😭🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
One of the best airframes ever produced
The heat signal from those engines must be huge
Can you imagine the size of its carbon footprint?
I have never seen so much smoke come from an aeroplane lol
Just arriving on the scene makes quite the inpression.. B52's have a reputation..
I'm impressed every time I see that plane. I've watched as they flew over my head several times as I live near an Air Force Base. Video of the plane doesn't do it justice to the size and magnitude of this bomber.
Those B52 should be into a museum indeed .....
This footage was also show last week, landing during Storm Eunice.
You gotta keep up the fear factor eh !!
This video is 2 weeks old….
In whatever way we want to look at it. This war shouldn't have started in the first place. Human beings are meant to resolve their differences through dialogue. War is a huge expense. It is very easy to start a war, very difficult to end a war, very difficult to recuperate after a war. Up till now, the North and South Koreans are still arch enemies based on the bloody bitter war they fought. Current example; Iraq, Libya and Syria. War destroys diplomatic relations, war creates hate among people, war destroys a country's economy, war isolates people from peace. War is not a useful tool to resolve conflicts. Not in this day and age. I wonder how the United Nations Security Council goes to bed at night knowing the situation the world is currently facing.
.. BS... it's always been "who has the bigger stick is right!".
Wow...what insight. "This war shouldn't have started in the first place..." Well, it has, sunshine. Face it rther than conjuring up unicorn hypotheticals.
Yes, the United States Air Force operates B-52 bombers that are equipped with cruise missiles. The B-52 is a long-range, heavy bomber that has been in service with the US military since the 1950s, and it has been upgraded and modernized several times over the years to maintain its effectiveness. One of the B-52's most important roles is as a platform for launching cruise missiles, which are precision-guided weapons that can strike targets at ranges of hundreds of miles. The B-52 can carry a variety of different types of cruise missiles, including the AGM-86B/C/D, which is an air-launched cruise missile (ALCM) that can be equipped with either a nuclear or conventional warhead.
That plane needs catalytic converters !
It's running a bit rich for a cat to work
Hahahahahaha too funny
250 tons of pure United States of America Diplomacy from above. You airmen are definitely some of the finest.
Larry wheels can bench press that
Yikes .You know you've been naughty (Russia) when this monster shows up in your part of the world.
Where are the pollution activists? ... surely they should have been sitting on the runway when this thing landed.
Yeah except military people don’t care and would’ve just simply ran them over.
Still stuck to the M25 probably
@@zigzagnemesist5074 ... Yeah exactly what I mean, why were they not sitting on the runway 😂
@@martinwebb1681 haha true. Would’ve been funny.
