Useful only against weak countries having no air defense or counter measures. Stealth bomber are somewhat useful but others can easily be shot down by even ordinary air defense systems.

These days they are mainly cruise missile platforms. They strike from several thousands of km away. Very difficult to defend against.

Cruise missile can not strike from several thousand km away. Ballistic missile can do that. Yes, they can strike at some 1000 to 1500 km range.

The latest ones can. Kh-101 can strike 5000 km. Struck Syria from Russia airspace.

Kh-101 does not have a range of 5000 km. The missiles that hit Syria were fired from 1000 km away

They were fired from 1000 km away. The max range is 4,500 km according to Shoigu.

Aircraft of strategic aviation used for the first time air-launched missiles Kh-101 with a range of up to 4,500 kilometers in real combat conditions," the minister added.

Missiles are very rarely fired from their max range. AMRAAM has max range 100 km but typically they are fired from about 20 km away.

By then the Su-22 was in striking distance of friendly forces and it began to dive, releasing its weapons in the process, before making a climb out after the attack. Based on the rules of engagement that were briefed to the naval aviators, Mob locked the Su-22 up from behind with an AIM-9X Sidewinder and fired.

The missile zipped off the Hornet's wing rail trailing smoke but quickly disappeared. It wasn't clear why the missile failed to track the Su-22 or where it had gone. Mob quickly selected an AIM-120 AMRAAM and fired once again. He noted how long it took for the missile to fire off the Super Hornet's "cheek" station located along the outer edges of its air intakes.

you are free to believe anything that is claimed

And Americans never ever shot an AMRAAM at 100 km. What's your point? AK-47 has max range 1000 meters. It's almost always shot at 100 meters or less.

Actually deary they were designed from the start to be nuclear / carpet bombers against rival superpower tu has speed and b52 has special electronics countermeasures to confuse enemy air defenses yes they would be losses that's why non stealth bombers were made in large quantity to absorb losses

they also have massive amount of ECM/ECCM/EW/ESM gear to defend themself @HariPrasad

all long range ALCM has a range of 2500 to 3000 km, research if you have a net @HariPrasad

But it is not sufficient to save them from modern SAM.

2500 km sand off weapons do not generally required to be launched from plane. These planes are designed to deliver tons of payload cheaply on enemy unprotected target. Any ballistic missile can do it very cheaply. Anyone with basic knowledge of modern warfare can understand this.
