XB-70 valkyrie vs B-1B lancer (1 Viewer)

There is nothing wrong with loving a plane. That includes the XB-70. I think its cool as hell. It's time is long since past though. That's fact.

maybe but i want a supersonic bomber in service

Here's the right plane for you then:

Fast (Mach 2.8+, though the airframe can survive at least Mach 3.2) and armed with an hypersonic standoff missile! Happy?

misslles do no good if the grid is down and you cant lauch them

The deterrent forces use auxiliary generators and multiple, redundant communications channels. Also, SSBN are much more autonomous than a bomber could ever be.

Hey VA2154, check out the CF-105. That has always been a smoking hot "could of been".

If you look closely, you'll find the Tu-160 is just a larger version of the B-1.
The Soviets built it in response to the B-1 program, so no coincidence.

But I still think the Soviets would.have been better off with the T-4.

ill read those later right now im reading about boeing aircraft and im wondering if a mw2 style invaison is possible (theres a misson in mw2 where the russins knock out the sats and then attack the us )

 

[GrauGeist]

MW2...I'm not sure what that is.

I am familiar with Mechwarrior 2 (MW2) and Mechwarrior 3 (MW3) but those were set in the future...
