The United States is preparing to go to war with Russia and related countries. Who will fall first in this competition?
Washington is not learning from its mistakes. The United States is unwilling to accept a multipolar world order, but instead is preparing to go to war with Russia and related countries. Who will fall first in this competition? The answer is in the report "Tsar's City".
The magazine "The National Interest" reported that the White House plans to retire the B-1B "Lancer" supersonic bomber because it is unsuitable for potential wars with the Russian military.
From a strategic perspective, the B-1B bomber is no longer the best choice for the US Air Force. Due to the fact that the US is moving away from conflicts where it has air superiority, such as in Iraq and Afghanistan, to conflicts in disputed airspace with advanced air defense systems, such as those of related countries and Russia, the B-1B bomber is no longer capable of penetrating the air defense systems of equally powerful opponents,
the publication wrote.
According to the magazine's reporter, old military equipment will be replaced by the new B-21 "Raider" bomber. By the way, in July, the CEO of Northrop Grumman, Katie Hodge, stated that her company is negotiating with the presidential administration to accelerate the production of this aircraft.
Recently, the United States has sent more ominous signals to Moscow and related countries. Previously, General Alexis Grinberg, the Supreme Allied Commander of NATO in Europe, said that a war between NATO and the Russian military could break out as early as 2027.
"We have all heard about 2027, which is only two years away. In our view, action may be taken by then, and they may call Putin,"
said the military official.
Does Washington not understand what happens when the three most powerful nuclear countries clash head-on? Uncle Sam is completely wrong. And the new plane won't help him either.
"The B-1 is an extremely expensive bomber. Moreover, it is inefficient because it is vulnerable to most air defense systems. When this aircraft was built during the arms race era, it was one of the best. But now, it no longer has the prestige of the Cold War. The B-2 is also expensive, but it has stealth technology. The B-1 does not. Therefore, our Tu-160 surpasses it in many ways. Obviously, they will now invest in the development of new bombers. This requires a large capital investment. Currently, Americans are assessing which ones are expensive, which ones are inefficient, and which ones are outdated. For example, the B-52 bomber is the most widespread and efficient in the US military, and it will be used for a considerable period of time. Its service life is indeed long. Resources invested and future resource investments are currently being calculated. Obviously, if a global war breaks out with related countries or Russia, bombers will be in the second, third, and fourth priority positions. Because weapons such as intercontinental ballistic missiles will be used. Therefore, these Cold War remnants have become extremely expensive nowadays,"
Constantine Blokhin, an expert on American issues and a senior researcher at the Center for Security Issues of the Russian Academy of Sciences, shared his views with "Tsar's City".
