Yeah, right over of one of their million man “Death to America” chants.
The B-1B is subsonic, but it is very maneuverable at low altitude and carries 75,000 pounds of bombs internally.
Yeah, only supersonic at altitude.
Okay, throw in some F-15s, then.
I want broken windows across the country.
Not to be too contentious but the Bone was designed to go 900 plus mph on the deck, the Air National Guard had them where I worked, they had flown one to Eielson Air Force Base Alaska to participate in cold weather war games. and I overheard them chatting about it. They were talking in nautical miles per hour, somewhere north of 750, saying they were being chased by F-15s and 16s, which were faster by a good six or seven hundred miles per hour. But going that fast burns JP5 fast too, they all had to give up the chase because they ran low on fuel…
Thanks
Yeah, B-1B can do 1.2mach dash on the deck;
but it goes high-subsonic for low-level penetration
due to structural fatigue considerations.
Reckon it’ll be okay for a supersonic, full-afterburner, low pass over Tehran, though.
