Old bombers for Iran!

 From the 1960's B-52 to the 1990's B-2?

What fire power the USAAF are deploying is old kit perhaps with modern computer chip technology and new types of bombs like the buster ammunition's, but last time around in the twelve day war they were not as effective, as the U.S. president wanted everyone to believe!

Now with the introduction of the Stealth B-1 there is hope tthat hey the will do a better job that the aging B-52's and forty year old B-2's, but in their own right they are old too some fifty plus years and nothing really new has been invested in the bomber fleet over that time?

As to fighters, only the F-22 and F-35 are newer kit, perhaps with improved long-range drones such as the triton, which is limited to day-light operations!

The truth about the USAAF is that even its air refueling KC-135's were new in the Vietnam war, proving a lack of investment, but they may do a good job in breaking the missile power of Iran, but ending the religious fanatics is a different matter?

USAAF Strange Movements!

 Chagos Redeployment's?

With the arrival of the B1 and 2 USAAF bombers there has been a sudden change with the arrival of the original B-52 fleet and this maybe due to progress on talks with Iran over its nuclear developments that the U.S believe they can achieve peace with!

The truth may be that the United States have not as many aircraft as they claim that they have or they are scared of losing them for costly replacements?

But what ever is really going on many believe now that the President is playing TACO in chickening out of anything that costs too much or that he might lose out one when others by-pass him?
