The cruise missile definitely has a significant role.


Yeah, but it is going to be less and less. Too many other cheaper weapons. And very few targets that are not in range of Carrier Aircraft, especially with refueling.

The aircraft that finally does replace the B-52 will be unmanned. And flown by an operator setting at a computer screen at a base in the interior of the US. Amazing how fast things change.
