B-1 vs Tu-160 I might be wrong, but I don’t see long-range bombers today flying over targets and dropping bombs directly anymore, except in completely undefended areas. These bombers have essentially turned into standoff launch platforms for missiles and precision-guided bombs. The truth is that missiles have advanced tremendously... show more

Strategic Bombers Are More Relevant Than Ever Decades ago, these aircraft had to fly directly over their targets to drop bombs. That era is over, and things have only gotten easier for them. Now they are standoff platforms capable of launching modern, heavy, long-range missiles (thousands of kilometers), including hypersonics, in large quantities, without ever entering contested airspace. This proves they are far from obsolete and have become massive flying weapons platforms. These bombers operate in squadrons, with missile ranges of 1,000–5,500 km (cruise) or around 2,000 km (hypersonic), devastating warheads, and launched in high numbers. Hypersonics like Kinzhal, YJ-21, and the future ARRW can evade modern defenses, while cruise missiles like JASSM and Kh-101 achieve saturation at a much lower cost. Russian glide bombs are being motorized to become an even cheaper option, and there are already configurations where bombers carry up to 20 glide bombs. Imagine 5 B-52H Stratofortress launching 20–24 stealth AGM-158 JASSM-ER missiles with 1,000 km range each. That’s over 100 missiles in a single salvo. Or 5 Tu-160M2 launching 6 Kh-47M2 Kinzhal each, or in another configuration up to 12 Kh-101 missiles per aircraft. If you want to go further: what navy could survive a squadron salvo from Chinese H-6 or H-20 launching 4–6 anti-ship hypersonic missiles with 1,500–2,000 km range? Strategic bombers are more relevant than ever and now operate much more safely. In the future, in possible larger conflicts, we’ll see waves of 20 bombers launching salvos of 150–250 missiles, overwhelming defenses and causing immense destruction. These platforms provide extended reach at a far lower cost than medium- or long-range ground launched missiles. Not to mention the low operating costs of the B-52, Tu-95, and H-6, with the latter probably having even lower costs. The trend is toward missiles and bombs with ever-greater range, lower cost, and modular designs to be launched from bombers. We can expect these aircraft to remain in service for at least another 20–30 years.

‼️🇺🇸🇮🇷 BIG | The United States conducted another long-range strike against targets deep inside Iran overnight, with a pair of B-1B Lancer strategic bombers departing from RAF Fairford on a flight profile similar to a previous mission. According to available information, only one of the bombers continued to Iran, while the second aircraft turned back and returned to RAF Fairford approximately six hours after takeoff. The B-1B that reached the target area reportedly carried JDAM precision-guided bombs, striking military targets located far beyond the effective range of tactical fighter aircraft or ground-based strike systems such as HIMARS. The mission also highlights an important operational trend. Instead of relying on long-range cruise missiles, the U.S. once again employed a strategic bomber with guided bombs, a choice that underscores the continuing shortage of JASSM and other long-range precision cruise missiles while maintaining the ability to hit heavily defended targets deep inside Iranian territory.

🚨 B-52 RETURNS TO ENGLAND AFTER IRAN STRIKE A U.S. Air Force B-52H Stratofortress heavy bomber has been spotted returning to its base in England after taking part in strike operations linked to the Iran campaign. The long-range bomber is part of the growing U.S. strategic air presence at RAF Fairford, where multiple American B-1 and B-52 bombers have been deployed to support the air campaign against Iranian military targets. These aircraft are capable of carrying tens of thousands of pounds of precision-guided bombs or cruise missiles, allowing them to strike targets deep inside enemy territory before returning to base after missions that can last many hours. As the conflict intensifies, RAF Fairford has effectively become one of the main launch hubs for long-range U.S. bomber operations connected to the war with Iran.

Russia is currently carrying out a large-scale combined missile-drone attack on Ukraine. Sea-launched Kalibr cruise missiles struck the cities of Dnipro and Zaporizhzhia, while Shahed/Geran-type long-range OWA-UAVs hit Sumy and Kharkiv. Also, the launches of Kh-101 cruise missiles from Tu-95/Tu-160 strategic bombers have been reported minutes ago. If the launches were real, the missiles are expected to enter the Ukrainian airspace in less than an hour.

🚨 U.S. B-52 BOMBERS NOW STRIKING IRAN AFTER AIR DEFENSES DESTROYED After reportedly dismantling much of Iran’s air-defence network in the opening phase of the campaign, the United States has now shifted to large-scale bombing runs using B-52 Stratofortress bombers. The sequence of operations reportedly unfolded in stages: • Stealth B-2 bombers conducted the initial penetration strikes • Ship-launched cruise missiles targeted radar and air-defence infrastructure • Supersonic B-1 bombers followed with high-speed strike missions • Now B-52s are conducting sustained heavy bombing Once air defences are neutralised, the B-52 becomes extremely effective. Despite being first introduced in the 1950s, the aircraft remains one of the most powerful conventional bombing platforms in the world. Each bomber can carry up to 70,000 pounds (32,000 kg) of weapons, including precision-guided bombs, cruise missiles, and bunker-buster munitions. With the skies reportedly under allied control, these long-range bombers can deliver massive payloads against command centres, missile depots, and military infrastructure across Iran. The use of B-52s typically signals the shift from initial air-defence suppression to sustained strategic bombardment. In other words, the opening phase of the war may be over — and the heavy campaign has begun.

Yemen’s Houthi terrorists have released this footage showing the use of locally manufactured, short-range tactical ballistic missiles against trucks carrying military equipment from Saudi Arabia at Al-Wadiah military camp near the Saudi-Yemeni border. What is particularly notable is the apparent precision of these missiles. The footage shows the ballistic missiles striking very close to, or directly among, individual trucks and other relatively small targets inside the camp — demonstrating a precision-strike capability far beyond that of conventional unguided battlefield rockets. The Houthis have developed several families of precision-guided short- and close-range ballistic missiles over the years, with Iranian technology, guidance systems and specialized components historically playing an important role in their development and production. What remains unclear is how the Houthis are currently sustaining production of such precision-guided missiles, particularly their guidance and control systems, now that their ability to obtain specialized missile components directly from Iran has reportedly become severely constrained. If these missiles were indeed manufactured recently inside Yemen, the strike demonstrates that the Houthis have retained a surprisingly capable indigenous production and integration capability for precision-guided tactical ballistic missiles despite those supply constraints.

🚨 BREAKING: U.S. STRATEGIC BOMBERS ARRIVE IN BRITAIN: TRUMP: IRAN TO FACE THE BIG ONE. Three U.S. Air Force B-1 Lancer bombers have landed at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, placing powerful American strike aircraft on British soil as the Iran war escalates. The 146-foot aircraft are capable of flying over 900 mph and can carry up to 24 cruise missiles or dozens of precision bombs, giving the U.S. the ability to launch long-range strikes deep into the Middle East. Each bomber is worth roughly $317 million, meaning more than $1 billion in strategic airpower has arrived at the base within hours. RAF Fairford has long served as a key U.S. bomber hub for operations in the Middle East, and its activation signals a major expansion of American strike capability. President Trump has warned that Iran could soon face “the big one.” With strategic bombers now positioned in the UK, the next phase of the conflict may be approaching fast.

'Trump gave Ukraine long-range missiles, and Ukrainians are already learning to use them' – retired US Army General Jack Keane. 'Regarding the missiles: President Trump strengthened Ukraine by providing missiles with increased range — about 400-450 kilometers. Training is underway so that Ukrainians can use them. He is adding air defense systems — Patriot installations, which are necessary to protect the population. And I don't think the issue of Tomahawk missiles is completely closed. We have enough missiles in our arsenal to provide Ukraine with a limited batch to strike very specific targets — for example, the drone production center 'Alabuga'. - SK

Iran's Large Missiles Are a Challenge for Interceptors In this image, we see once again how Iranian missiles with larger and more modern warheads pass through the interceptors without any problem whatsoever. In recent days, I have been reporting that, from what it seems to me, Iran has developed technology for better coating of these missiles, associated with evasion techniques. This image is from one of the attacks on Haifa recorded last night. Due to its robustness, it appears to be a Kheibar, Shahab-3 or Sejjil-2. They are missiles with warheads of 1,500–2,000 kg. As I have been saying, even if Iran launched only 20 per day, it would still be a big problem that would persist for a long time. And the solution to this is not carpet bombing. In Yemen, which is infinitely smaller, that did not solve it.

❗️Zelensky on Gripen from Sweden: «We will receive fighter jets with armament, not just jets. These "Gripen" with specific armament — in particular with "Meteor" missiles — are capable of destroying targets at a distance of 100 kilometers. We believe that we will be able to push back Russian aircraft, and they will not be able to massively use glide bombs. That is the first point. There are many other things that I cannot tell you publicly — but this is a very important moment.»

🇺🇸 The bomber built to hunt a superpower 🧐 At the height of the Cold War, the United States built the B-1B Lancer for one purpose: to penetrate deep into the Soviet Union and strike heavily defended targets at high speed. Only 100 were ever built. Yet decades later, the B-1 remains one of the most powerful conventional bombers on Earth. It can fly at Mach 1.25, carry up to 75,000 pounds (34 tonnes) of bombs and missiles, and reach targets thousands of kilometers away with aerial refueling extending its range across the globe. The B-1 has been used in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and against ISIS, where it delivered more conventional weapons than any other U.S. bomber during key phases of those conflicts. Designed to confront the Soviet Union. Proven in real wars. Still flying today. Some weapons are built for battles. The B-1 Lancer was built for history. ✈️🔥

Today, there are new significant results from our deep strikes. In Russia’s Samara region, one of the key enterprises within Roscosmos – the Progress Center, which was involved, among other things, in electronics production – was hit. Flamingo missiles were used. A good achievement. The distance from our border is about 900 kilometers. Our long-range sanctions also reached the Savasleyka airbase, where the carriers of Russian missiles that strike our cities and villages are based – about 700 kilometers from Ukraine. We also have confirmation of the damage we were aiming to inflict at an oil facility in Ust-Luga – more than 800 kilometers from our border. I am grateful to all the units involved for their accuracy. Our plan of long-range sanctions against Russia for this war is being implemented, and it is important that Russia’s war potential be reduced. Peace is needed, and this must be evident in Russia – through concrete damage to specific facilities. Glory to Ukraine!

🚨This is what interceptor reality looks like today: Systems like Russia’s S-300 are high-tech air defenses. They can, in theory, shoot down aircraft, cruise missiles, and even ballistic missiles. But modern attacks don’t try to beat these systems head-on. Instead, they use swarms of missiles, drones, and decoys to overwhelm radar and confuse interceptors. Low-flying cruise missiles slip under radar coverage, while electronic warfare jams sensors. In the Russia-Ukraine war, ballistic missiles and drones are used together. This combination makes strikes deadlier, even though Ukraine intercepts up to 90% of drones. In the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict, Israel's multi-layered air defense systems such as the Iron Dome, David's Sling, and Arrow 2/3 have achieved high but not perfect interception rates against Iranian ballistic missiles. The numbers still favor the attacker: defenders may have dozens of interceptors, but attackers can launch hundreds of targets. Air defense gives you better odds, not certainty. Every missile launched is a roll of the dice, and the math always catches up eventually.

On June 1, 1996, the last nuclear missiles were brought from Ukraine into Russia. The next day, Ukraine has lost its status of a nuclear state after signing the Budapest Memorandum. The US, the UK and Russia gave their assurances that Ukrainian security and sovereignty would not be violated. In exchange, Ukraine promised to give up its nuclear arsenal - one-third of the Soviet nuclear arsenal in total. Ukraine held up our end of the bargain. By 1996, all Ukrainian nuclear warheads were transferred to Russia. Some other military equipment - like strategic bomber planes - was simply scrapped; some were transferred to Russia, and, according to recent investigations, they are now used for missile strikes on Ukraine. In 2014, Russia broke its promises by annexing Crimea and invading Donbas. In 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion on Ukraine. Russia would not have dared to attack another nuclear state. The Russian aggression today is a direct consequence of the Budapest Memorandum. Today, Ukraine has launched a successful attack on Russia's strategic aviation. Tu-95 and Tu-160 are capable of launching cruise missiles with nuclear warheads.

Repair work to restore critical infrastructure is ongoing in many regions of Ukraine. In January alone, Russia launched more than 6,000 attack drones against us, around 5,500 guided aerial bombs, and 158 missiles of various types. Virtually all of it targeted the energy sector, the railways, and our infrastructure – everything that sustains normal life. The strikes are continuing now. Over the past week, Russia has used more than 980 attack drones, nearly 1,100 guided aerial bombs, and two missiles against Ukraine. We are recording Russian attempts to destroy logistics and connectivity between cities and communities. That is precisely why the need to protect the sky persists. Missiles for Patriot, NASAMS, F-16s, and other platforms are needed every single day. I thank all partners who understand this and help us.
