US Air Force Weighs Supercruising Bomber as B-52 Replacement Option

The US Air Force is exploring a game-changing supercruising bomber as a potential replacement for the B-52, with a $15 billion engine replacement program set to reach initial operational capability by 2033. This move comes as the service weighs its options for the future of its heavy bomber fleet.

[Перевод] Навигация без GPS: как B-52 ориентировался по звёздам с помощью шестерёнок

До спутниковой навигации самолёты могли сверяться со звёздами почти так же, как мореплаватели, только на скорости стратегического бомбардировщика. В B-52 эту задачу решал автоматический астрокомпас: он сопровождал выбранное светило и через электромеханический аналоговый компьютер вычислял курс. В статье разбираем, как шестерёнки, сельсины и физическая модель небесной сферы заменяли цифровые вычисления.

Air Force Clears Boeing to Upgrade B-52s with New Engines

The Air Force has given Boeing the green light to upgrade the B-52 bomber with new engines, a major milestone that will keep the iconic aircraft flying strong for generations to come. This critical design review paves the way for Boeing to swap out the B-52's decades-old engines with Rolls-Royce F130 engines, transforming the bomber into…

It's 2127.

A B-52 makes another orbital patrol, testing its latest modified engines and avionics. The A-10 escorts are doing ok, too.

#Trump's #B52 bombers were en route to #Iran last night, when the two-week ceasefire was agreed.

In use since 1955, these strategic bombers have trashed Iraq, iran, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia. 7½ megatons of high explosives dumped on south-east Asia. 76 B-52s remain, out of 744 built.

The problem is not that Trump now directs the B-52. The problem is that the B-52 still exists, and it's successor the #LRSB is under construction.

Nobody should have such killing power. Scrap the B-52 and LRSB!

#CENTCOM published an image of a B-52 Bomber refueling in the ongoing Operation Epstein Fury, dated to March 26.

The image was geolocated to 27.0477883, 46.9865168, northwest of Ar Rafah, east of the King Abdulaziz Royal Reserve, eastern #SaudiArabia. The aircraft is moving in a northwest direction, which indicates it's therefore returning from an attack on Iran, and heading back to base (likely in the #UK).

#SaudiArabia has consistently asserted it has not given the US permission to use its airspace to launch attacks on Iran. CENTCOM's image states otherwise.

The release of the Image is clearly a signal from US to give Iran the needed proof that KSA is actively helping US/Israel attacking Iran, not just by fuel and US airbase, but also giving them permission to use their air space to attack.

US Air Force B-52H Stratofortress strategic bombers taking off from the UK to participate in attacks against Iran.

The aircraft were armed with 2,000-pound JDAM guided bombs (GBU-31), with up to 20 munitions per aircraft.

Those were the bombs used against targets in #Isfahan least night.
