Answer 5

Now I just wonder what the U.S. would do with a bomber like that. I think it's on its way to the middle east.

Answer 6

Its to sell the the israelis and threaten the Oil producing countries, and if that isnt enough, it is also so they can say "were alloud this bomb but ur not!"

Answer 7

How far do YOU live from the nearest air wing base with these new style bombers?

Getting a picture there Bub?

Answer 8

Actually its range will be far greater..

One idea coming back into serious consideration under the Long Range Strike Platform (LRSP) is the Missileer, a cargo plane already in production modified to carry three dozen or more cruise missiles. Such a platform would have to have a range of 9,000 miles with one refueling. It would need the advanced Joint Tactical Information Distribution System. Once th US had destroyed enemy air defenses, the Missileer could fly directly over the enemy with vast numbers of Small Diameter Bombs. The aircraft might even fire its weapons out of the rear cargo hatch, allowing it to serve as a regular transport aircraft. One choice would be a missile armed version of the C-17 cargo plane - the new B-17.

The new capabilities ensure that the Air Force can strike a variety of targets, including hardened or deeply buried targets (HDBTs) as required in non-permissive environments... Capabilities should provide the ability to operate at extended distances from the theater of conflict with an effective and flexible payload (e.g., nuclear and conventional precision/non-precision munitions). Desired attributes for GS capabilities are responsiveness, persistence, survivability (including lethal self-protection), lethality, connectivity, and affordability... A new/modernized bomber aircraft may satisfy the proposed capability. Currently, all milestones for the program are tentative, but for planning purposes, a development effort could start as early as 2006 with an Initial Operational Capability (IOC) in 2015 and Full Operational Capability (FOC)

Answer 9

im going to have to say there is something wrong with this scenrio... a 2000 mile range commercial airliners have more range than this, and a bomber on top of this where did you ever here of such a thing
