The F-35s are a bigger show of deterrence than the F-22 could ever be in the Pacific. F-22 is much more suited for combat operations in the European theatre than in the Pacific.US need F22s into the arena to have any credibility of deterrence. B52s are the old elephants of the show and won't last long in any battle.

2025 full rate production date for B-21 is too optimistic IMO ... the first prototype is only supposed to roll out in 2022. The B-2s first flight was in 1989 and only entered service in 1997 (note this was during a time when delays and extensive cost overruns were not an issue).Over 1,000+ F-35s expected by 2025. That's also around the time B-21 should enter full rate production.
B-52 is world's most versatile war-fighting platform - easy to upgrade and equip for new types of missions.US need F22s into the arena to have any credibility of deterrence. B52s are the old elephants of the show and won't last long in any battle.
So how many B52s were sent over Afghanistan and how many of these types of weapons were dropped?B-52 is world's most versatile war-fighting platform - easy to upgrade and equip for new types of missions.
Range = 8800 miles
Payload capacity = 70000 lbs (expected to be expanded further with new types of munitions)
*Short demo:
- Optimized for employing precision standoff munitions* beyond the envelope of surface defenses in order to degrade/destroy them from afar
- Comprehensive EW capabilities (surprise)
- Economical
- Can be escorted if necessary
In a mission over Afghanistan in 2018, one B-52H was able to unleash 24 x precision standoff munitions to strike at and destroy different targets from afar - OPERATIONAL VALIDATION for sure.
This platform alone enable USAF to bomb a country back to stone age from standoff ranges.
