Imagine being a salamander just chillin, catching rays beachside… then all of a sudden you see a freedom bird coming towards you

اتذكرها جيداً عندما كانت تقصف بلدي العراق في 2003 كنت مع عائلتي واراها تقصف بجانبنا كانت سيارتنا شفرلي كابريس كانت تهتز من قوة القصف وكنت اعرف صوت هذه الطائرة من صوتها الغريب

كل سلاح الغرب وقوته لا يغير من واقع الإسلام ان لم تضغطوا على الاسلام في تغيرا مافي داخل كتّابهم القرآن من آيات تحثهم على الإجرام في حرق الأنسانية من شعوب الارض

كل هذه القنابل الذكية المتطورة هائلة التدمير بخدمة الاستهدافات الغبية التي تنفجر فوق رؤوس المدنيين والابرياء من أطفال ونساء وشيوخ في معظم بلاد المنطقة . حقا هذه صناعات ذكية لأعمال غبية .
شكرا لغبائكم الا متناهي 😊

I dropped a few bombs on that island in the 1980s. Looks like they now have a camera in the bomb bay so no one has to crawl back there and check for hangers. Good idea.

It's crazy how long the B-52 has been in service. I wonder if the aircraft that eventually replaces it will even have humans onboard.

[scottstevens]

I'd like to say Thank You to all our brave service members for serving!

Europe: "we need to save the environment"
USA: "hold my bombs"

Some view the B-52 as ugly, however it has out lasted any aircraft designed to replace the B-52, I served with the 92d Security Police Squadron around B-52's on 15 minute ground alert with special weapons and fuel on board!! We never had a mission fail because of the maintenance teams taking care of the bombers and tankers at Fairchild AFB. Thankfully that nuclear mission never had to be flown, otherwise none of us would be alive today!! Two life long systems, the B-52 Bomber and the Jeep!!

2:00. “BUFF = Big Ugly Fat Fellow?” Nah, that’s the sanitized civilian name. We had a slightly different name for them. We had lots of acronyms in the USAF. One of my favorites was MFWIC. AF vets; be my guest letting the civies in on that one.

Sang Hà Nội thủ đô của Việt Nam mà xem đống phế liệu B52 còn đó !

[craighoffman]

Older jets smoked a lot during takeoff but the B-52 employed water injection to increase thrust during heavily loaded takeoff, making them even smokier than normal. The B-52 is the original "coal roller" 😆

A lot of US military power, but in Vietnam they beat you in the ass.

[richardsattler]

2:45 Sorry, but that should be an air start unit (ASU), not a GPU. Pretty sure about that.

[massitraki]

Malgré leur puissance militaire, les américains sont des trouillards, ils n'ont jamais eu le courage de s'attaquer seuls contre un pays, ils font toujours appel à leurs ""chiens"" d'alliés, d'ailleurs les soldats américains n'ont du courage que lorsqu'ils sont en face des personnes civiles non armées..

جيوش جرارة معدات وتقنيات محتكرة لهم الوحيدين بالعالم يمتلكوها الف طريقة لانزال الجنود برا بحرا جوا ومع ذلك عشرين سنة يعافرو بالحرب لحد ماطلعو رغم عن انوفهم, سبحان من يعطي النصر لمن يشاء
