It is definitely the B-2 bomber. The B-2 is a strategic bomber that is currently ready, replacing the previous B-1b. In fact, the purpose of developing this aircraft during the Cold War was to use it in times of emergency. One plane carries 10 to 20 nuclear bombs to make another country disappear, and it drops conventional bombs in peacetime. Have you heard of the "duty flights" used by the United States and the Soviet Union? Russia has recently resumed "duty flights", which means that several strategic bombers take turns in the sky every day. Even if its own country is completely hit by a nuclear attack, there is still a chance that the other country will disappear.

The Lockheed AC-130 Gunship is a heavy ground attack aircraft operated by the United States Air Force. The attack aircraft system is further modified based on the Lockheed C-130 "Hercules" transport aircraft and is mainly used for close air support and armed reconnaissance. The AC-130 is equipped with various types of cannons of different calibers, and even heavy artillery such as the Bofors howitzer or 105mm howitzer carried in later models. It has a fatal strike capability against troops scattered on the ground and lacking aerial fire protection. .

Boeing B-52 long-range subsonic jet-powered strategic bomber (English: Boeing B-52 long-range subsonic jet-powered strategic bomber, nickname: Stratofortress, "Stratofortress" ") is an eight-engine long-range strategic bomber developed by the American Boeing Aircraft Company and used to replace the B-36 bomber to perform strategic bombing missions. The design plan was proposed in 1948, and the first prototype flew for the first time in 1952. The batch production model was delivered in 1955, and eight types including B-52A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H were developed. , production ceased in 1962, and total production was 744 aircraft.

There are 76 B-52s in active service, and they are still the main strategic bombing force of the U.S. Air Force. The U.S. Air Force currently has a budget to keep the B-52s in service until 2050. This brings the service life up to 90 years. One of the reasons why the U.S. military is willing to keep the B-52 in service is that the B-52 is the only U.S. strategic bomber that can launch cruise missiles.

Northrop Grumman B-2 Stealth and Strategic Bomber (English: Northrop Grumman B-2 Stealth and Strategic Bomber) nicknamed "Spirit" (English: Spirit) ) is a low-observability flying-wing bomber developed by Northrop and Boeing in partnership with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for the U.S. Air Force to perform strategic nuclear/conventional strike missions.

The B-2 is the only stealth strategic bomber in the world today. Its most important feature is low detectability, commonly known as stealth capability. It can safely penetrate the tight air defense system to attack. The B-2's stealth is not limited to the radar detection level, but also includes reducing different signals such as infrared, visible light and noise, so as to minimize the possibility of being detected and locked. The B-2's combat range can reach 12,000 kilometers without refueling in the air, and it can reach 18,000 kilometers with one refueling in the air. The air flight time for each mission is generally not less than 10 hours. The US Air Force claims that it has "global reach" and "global destruction" capabilities.

The B-2's stealth performance is comparable to that of the small F-117 attack aircraft, but its combat capabilities are similar to those of the huge B-1B bomber. In 1997, the first batch of six B-2 bombers officially entered service, and only 21 were produced in a year. The cost of each B-2 is US$2.4 billion. In terms of weight, the price per unit of weight of the B-2 is two to three times more expensive than the value of gold when it was in service.

The bomber is an aerial fortress. In addition to dropping bombs, it can also drop various torpedoes, nuclear bombs or launch air-to-ground missiles. Bombers can be divided into three types: light bombers, medium bombers and heavy bombers. Light bombers can generally load 3 to 5 tons of bombs, medium bombers can load 5 to 10 tons of bombs, and heavy bombers can load 10 to 30 tons of bombs. Here are the Earth Bombers rankings.

1 The U.S. B-2 stealth bomber and B-2 strategic bomber are products of the Cold War period and were developed by Northrop Corporation for the U.S. Air Force. In 1979, based on strategic considerations, the U.S. Air Force requested the development of a high-altitude penetration stealth strategic bomber to deal with the air defense systems that the Soviet Union might deploy in the 1990s. Production of the prototype began in 1981, and the prototype flew in 1989. Later, the plan was modified so that the B-2 bomber has both high and low altitude penetration capabilities and can perform dual missions of nuclear and conventional bombing.

B-1 supersonic bomber, B-1 "Lancer" (Lancer) is a supersonic heavy long-range bomber that the United States entered service at the end of the Cold War. It was developed in the 1970s by North American Aviation (later merged with Rockville and acquired by Boeing). It first flew in 1974 and entered service in 1985.

B-52 Flying Fortress large bomber. The B-52 bomber is a subsonic long-range strategic bomber of the U.S. Air Force. It is mainly used to perform long-range conventional bombing and nuclear bombing missions. Design began in October 1948, and the first prototype flew for the first time in 1952. The production B-52B began to be equipped with troops in June 1955, and 8 aircraft including A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H were developed successively. type. B-52 production ceased in October 1962, with only 744 produced. Now the B-52, together with the B-1B and B-2 bombers, form the strategic bomber force of the U.S. Air Force

2. The Russian Tupolev Tu-160 long-range bomber (Tupolev Tu-160) is a change of Russia Swept-wing heavy-duty supersonic strategic bomber. NATO codenamed it "Blackjack". The Russian Air Force calls it the "White Swan". The first test flight took place on December 18, 1981. 35 aircraft were actually produced by the former Soviet Union, and about 16 were in service with the Russian Air Force. It is Russia's most advanced bomber.

Tu-22M3 medium-range bomber, Tu-22 is mainly used for penetration, launching cruise missiles, nuclear bombs and other tasks at the enemy at supersonic speed and low altitude. After filling up the tank at one time, the transition radius can reach more than half of China. After the Sino-Soviet Battle of Zhenbao Island on March 2, 1969, it was once the main defense bomber of our national defense air force, and also the key defense target of Japan and its US military stationed in Japan. The Tu-22M was once one of the main focuses of disarmament negotiations between the United States and the Soviet Union. Currently, the Tu-22M3 is still a core component of Russia's strategic bombing and anti-ship operations.

The Tu-95 is a long-range strategic bomber developed by the former Soviet Union's Tupolev Aircraft Design Bureau. Development began in 1951, and the first prototype flew for the first time in 1954. The mass production model began to be delivered in 1956. More than 300 early models were produced. In addition to being used as strategic bombers, they were also used to perform electronic reconnaissance, photographic reconnaissance, maritime patrol anti-submarine and communication relay tasks. In the mid-1980s, production of the Tu-95 bomber began again, mainly producing the Tu-95MC bomber that can carry cruise missiles and the Tu-142M3, a maritime reconnaissance/anti-submarine aircraft modified from the Tu-95. Production ceased in 1992. There are currently about 150 Tu-95M/K/MC still in service, which together with 40 Tu-160 variable-sweep-wing supersonic long-range bombers and more than 220 Tu-22M medium- and long-range supersonic bombers form the Russian strategic bomber fleet. .
