THE CASE FOR LONG-RANGE STRIKE: 21ST CENTURY SCENARIOS.

Put your comic books away. There hasn't been any air to air combat with strategic bombers of any consequence since WWII. If there's any probablity of offense, you send in tac air with the strike package. or use standoff weapons. Much cheaper to build standoff than a goofy ramjet FB-22. Which has limited the strategic bombers to the reach of carrier air. The USAF has become a bomb truck service for the USN. It's gotten so bad that stealth strikes against active defenses require Navy jammers or they just don't go into harm's way. If The Force wants to go deep inside Russia and China and attack high value fleeting targets then they need a new capability. Otherwise the future of deep strike excludes the manned bomber. -HJC |
