Just reading this list, its interesting just how old these designs actually are. I wonder if there will even be a new generation of manned strategic bomber?

Agree Guggy..It's amazing really...

The B1 is the sexiest.
I love to look of the TU22M.
The B2 would be the best but it's just expensively dumb.
The Bear is cool but loses as it can be tracked by subs.
No comment on the H6.

So...for long range shear load capacity, I'd say the B52. The B1/Tu22 are close seconds.


And for the two Russians, before you flame me on going American, one of my favorite plane porn vids is of a Tu22...

B2 is crap, as the stealth can be defeated by rain!!
B1 is a very cool bomber but the B-52 outclasses it in most ways.
TU-22 is a B1 just crappier
TU-160 is a BETTER B1.

But the Bear!!
Might not be as tough as the B-52 or carry as much (even that is debatable) but it is cool. Contra-rotating propellers ftw.

Tu-160 and B-2 right now. The problem with the B-2 is that if it gets shot down it will be a financial disaster and thats very possible since the advent of the S-400 SAM.

Tu-160, because he is the newest. B2 can't be the best because his cost.

Tu22M3M - the best bomber for our conditions.

The B-1B has a special place in my heart because it is flat out sexy. But in terms of actual capability I'd go with the B-2A. Yet we only built 21. It's extremely survivable, but in any major war some would be lost regardless. Hopefully an eventual B-3 won't suffer from the flaws it initially faced in regards to operation.

Why the H-6 and not the Tu-16?
