I have seen this beast at a few airshows.

Amazing how agile it is!

USA is the most powerful nation...way ahead of anything in modern era and also in coming decades...Israel is mini US in all respect...wonder if Israel was as big as US...who would have been ruling this world????

According to some, Israel already rules USA. Hope that answers your question.

@CoLdHeArTeD DUDE The B-1B and the Tu-160 are amongst my all-time favorite planes. Pity they don't get the recognition they deserve.

Hey i have a question, is it the B-1 which was used in Transformers-2 : Revenge of the fallen ??? I am referring to the scene where in the final assault the USA does the carpet bombing on decepticons.

I agree with you...mostly people talk about B-2 or B-52...so i decided to open this thread.

They came too late in the cold war to be symbols of cold war, like the B-52 and Tu-95. And since they are not a completely new concept like B-2 they are usually overlooked

But a lancer or blackjack can still fly at supersonic speeds and deliver over 30 or 40 tonnes of destruction anywhere. and a B-1 or Tu-160 armed with Long-range nuclear-capable cruise missiles like Tomahawk or Kh-55 Kent can deliver destruction with precision over an incredible range. An absolute nightmare for the enemy.

I would say the bomber is still a game changer, for those who can afford to maintain one.
