The B-52H Stratofortress is a long-range, heavy bomber capable of various missions including strategic attack, close-air support, air interdiction, offensive counter-air, and maritime operations. Highly effective for ocean surveillance, it assists the U.S. Navy in anti-ship and mine-laying operations. The Air Force plans to operate B-52s through 2050. First flying in 1954, with the B model entering service in 1955, a total of 744 B-52s were built. The B-52 primarily provides the United States with immediate nuclear and conventional global strike capability. Its high mission-capable rate, large payload, long range, persistence, and ability to employ both nuclear and conventional precision standoff weapons make it a critical contributor to U.S. National Security Strategy.

Russia faces increasing challenges in the Middle East, having already lost a key ally, Bashar al-Assad. A recent meeting between China, Russia, and Iran focused on nuclear issues and sanctions lifting, highlighting their shared interests.
