"We are the strongest and most powerful country on Earth. And by the grace of God, the United States of America is the most successful, most accomplished, most exceptional nation ever to exist in human history." - President DONALD J. TRUMP 🇺🇸
A U.S. Air Force HC-130J Combat King II provides fuel for several A-10C attack aircraft. Aerial refueling allows aircraft to operate for extended periods of time.
🇺🇸 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. ✈️🔥
