ronca- You mean to say a B-2 couldn't refuel in non-hostile airspace and
reach any
point in Russia or China? I know they're big, but are they that big?
You'll have to show your math. BRBR

The 'math' is that a squadron of them, 6 aircarft, cost the same as a CV and
the airwing. They are assets not normally included in any strike scenario. Too
valuable and night time only. They were invited to show recently because they
needed to be showcased...they really meant little unless they are delivering
the 'big heat'..

I don't know, that seems like a long distance to launch a carrier strike.
What kind of ordnance can they deliver at that range? BRBR

The CV can close to w/i 500 miles in 20 hours...it takes 20 days just to decide
to forward deploy a USAF wing...

Many aircraft were put out of action, that's true, but I don't recall any
runway being put out of action. Do you have anything to support your
assertion? BRBR


Ya think all those bombs hit just aircarft and not the runway at Hickam???

ya need to watch the mooovie again...
