There is zero confirmation on this, the fuck would you post it?

Do you have fucking brain damage? Support your claims or fuck off.

Wrong board for this shit.

Nigger I don't even know if OP pic is real, much less whether it's standard propaganda/fake news or not.

Welcome to Clown World, circa 2018.

I can kind of understand where the various air forces were going with that line of thinking, but their logic only makes sense over a window in time that has since passed them by. The bomber fleets of the world's premier air forces were strategically "good enough" to achieve all the goals expected of them in the early post Cd War period.

To meaningfully improve upon heavy bombers such as the B-52, Avro Vulcan, or Tu-95 would require a massive investment in R&D and a huge flyaway cost per airframe (See: B-1, B-2, Tu-160, etc). It simply didn't make sense to continue developing new designs and it also didn't make sense to keep buying new examples of outdated designs, especially when converting more up-to-date fighter designs to handle light bombing duties was so much less expensive.

Unfortunately, that kind of thinking stuck around a decade or two longer than it logically should have. The fleets of older heavy bombers are now so old that many of them were simply retired due to the airframes reaching their fatigue limit (Avro Vulcan being the #1 example). We can't keep re-winging B-52s forever and even the last "new" heavy bomber designs (B-1, B-2) are becoming difficult to service. That's why you've seen such a rapid scramble to get the B-21 Raider program off the ground, at least the US has realized they are royally fucked if they can't get a large number of airframes into service within the next decade.

If heavy strategic bombers are a mene then why does the West hate dedicated ground attack aircraft so much?

sensible Vlad

Because the chairforce fap to planes duels same as the chairvalry fap to tank duels and the chairfantry fap to small arms effectiveness.
Even if all of it is completely irrelevant in modern warfare.

What does the Navy fap to?

each other

That would explain their random sexual outburts on civilian cargo ships.
