A strategic bomber is a type of military aircraft designed to conduct long-range bombing missions. These bombers are capable of carrying large payloads of bombs or missiles, targeting enemy infrastructure, military installations, and other strategic assets. They play a crucial role in a nation's defense strategy by projecting power and deterring potential threats. Strategic bombers are often equipped with advanced technology, including stealth capabilities, to evade radar detection. Notable examples include the B-52 Stratofortress and the B-2 Spirit, which are used by the United States Air Force. These aircraft can operate at high altitudes and are designed for both conventional and nuclear warfare.
