could heavy bombers make a come back?

I don't know about heavies but what about tactical bombing?.
I remember in a documentary that USA had a small jet bomber which was modified to allow fitting of an F-4 engine for tests, instead of heavy bombers these tactical bombers can be used, easy to make, easy to maintain. Or bring out a squadron of MiG-15s which were very cheap and easy to maintain?.
You mean the A-7 Corsair II LTV A-7 Corsair II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia repowered to form Vought YA-7F - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ?

Or the F11F-1F Super Tiger Grumman F11F-1F Super Tiger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, based on the F-11 Tiger Grumman F-11 Tiger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ?

F-16/79?
F-20 Tigershark?

again this is for poor countries who can't afford modern jets.

F-15 is a beast for the U.S,Israel,Saudi Arabia etc.......

but for Syria and other countries who have to fight civil wars and terrorists they have limited options.
Mig 23bn, Su-22 and Su24 in the case of Syria and older soviet planes (mig 19, su 7, Il 28).
