Not just that. The B-52s are doing runs with low tech Gravity Bombs. Directly over the targets. Which means there is nothing left in the area of operations capable of challenging or even remotely threatening the BUFF.
Aircraft are either destroyed or inoperable. Air Defense capable of reaching the B-52s operational ceiling is gone. Essentially we’re just stunting on them. We could probably run a formation of Museum Planes through their airspace on a strike to add insult to injury.
Granted some of the older B-52 airframes are closing on 75-80 years themselves. So I suppose we technically are using Museum Birds to Bomb people just because we can.
