#B52 bomber lands in the backyard of #China !

US Air Force ‘Heavy Bombers’ has landed in Indonesia.
Amid escalating tensions with China in the Western Pacific and efforts by Washington to strengthen alliances, two B-52 Stratofortress bombers from the United States Air Force (USAF) recently arrived in the archipelago.

The mission was carried out by the Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC) and Pacific Air Forces (PAF). Originally from the 23rd Bomb Squadron at Minot Air Force Base (AFB) in North Dakota, the B-52s departed from Guam's Andersen AFB.

These two B-52s are part of a group of four bombers that arrived in Guam after departing from Minot AFB on June 12 and June 14. Their deployment is part of a Bomber Task Force (BTF) rotation in the Indo-Pacific.

BTF rotations involve the deployment of USAF bombers worldwide and typically last a little over a month.

In this video, Defense Updates analyses why B-52 in Indonesia is a nightmare for China?

The US usually uses a B-52 to make their point. If a B-52 can go there, a B-2 also can. Howver, a B-52 is more visible.

Probably because 1 B-52 packs more punch than all their bombers combined

The B-52 entered service in the SAC in 1955.

The narrator you guys use it great but there is a nasty "nasal" sound at about 2khz. Please put a de-esser or an eq on that frequency, its a bit annoying to the ear. Thank you for the great content, keep it up.

This exercise in Indonesia will know doubt have the PLA and PLA:AF some private heartburn😁😈.

These days, given the stand-off weapons instead of gravity bombs the B-52 uses these days, maybe it can't be referred to as a 'bomber' any more. Maybe just B52 covers everything it offers or maybe 'The Multirole B52' should be used when referring to it. While it still capable of dropping bombs, I doubt it will ever operate in a combat zone again given the technology of the anti-aircraft threat these days. I speak as a former B52 combat pilot during Vietnam and the Cold War that followed.

Expect a nuclear weapons-capable Chinese bomber to visit Cuba in the near future....

[jackbobrick]

i CAN'T IMAGINE ruling Russia losing to such a small 'rebellious' band of rebels, , , no way Jose, It won't happen, , unless the rebels can unite other like minded disenchanted souls very quickly, if not its going to be a free trip to Siberia, where the wind blows cold, and nobody knows what goes

[danhenderson]

How about learning how to pronounce words used in the video…archipelago was brutally mispronounced….

[Chuck_Hooks]

I hear US is now training some in the Wagner Group to fly B-52s against targets in Russia

[thegreyhound]

2 bombers would have to sit at 5 minutes alert or they would eat nukes before they got all 8 engines cranked up
