Finally! US Deploys B-52s with Hypersonics & New Rolls-Royce F130 Engines!

Описание: Middle East Pivot! US Deploys B-52s with Hypersonics & New Rolls-Royce F130 Engines!
In 2026, the B-52 Stratofortress is no longer a "Cold War relic" but a rejuvenated Mach 5+ delivery platform. Witness the transition to the B-52J, featuring the Rolls-Royce F130 engine integration and the lethal HACM (Hypersonic Attack Cruise Missile) suite.
The Commercial Engine Replacement Program (CERP) is officially dismantling the legacy TF33 turbofans in favor of the high-efficiency F130, extending the BUFF’s operational range by 40%. Beyond the "heart transplant," the integration of the AN/APG-81 AESA radar—shared with the F-35—transforms this 70-year-old airframe into a critical node for distributed maritime operations. From the "Crab Landing" gear mechanics to its new role as a "Hypersonic Missile Truck" carrying AGM-181 LRSO stealth nukes, we decode how Boeing’s open architecture ensures the B-52 outlasts the stealth bombers it was meant to precede.
