US hides the goal of transferring several B-52H to Britain
At the same time, Fairford is reportedly awaiting the arrival of two more aircraft of this type.
This transfer has become the most massive over the past 15 and more. And if in the 2003 year, the target of the transfer by the Americans was announced immediately - the fighting against the troops of Saddam Hussein in Iraq, now the redeployment of strategic bombers of the US Air Force is carried out without comment from the American command. The target is hiding.
The appearance of the B-52H Stratofortress near the western borders of Russia can tell about the real purposes of the transfer. The American "strategist" recently appeared over the Baltic - near the air borders of Russia in the region of the Kaliningrad region. The US Air Force bomber, as noted by the Ministry of Defense, did not come closer to the Russian borders closer than 150 km.
For reference: B-52H - one of the modifications of the aircraft B-52, consisting of the US armed with 1955 year. The task that was put by the customer to the Boeing company during the creation of this aircraft sounded as follows: to deliver nuclear bombs for dumping over any point of the Soviet Union.
In May, 1956 was tested to drop a hydrogen bomb from this aircraft.
Earlier, the US military command decided not to abandon the operation of B-52H before 2040 or 2042. It is noted that this will save money and will allow to achieve the full development of the pledged resource of gliders.
