The real version of "the landlord has no more food". If we were to ask who is the biggest landlord in the world, it would be the United States. However, the American landlords really have no more food, so they can only patch up the surplus food for another 50 years.

Let's take a look at what's going on. The United States plans to spend $15 billion to upgrade the B-52 strategic bomber. B-52 is a strategic bomber from the 1950s and 1960s. It's already 2024. How many years have passed? 70 years have passed, and the B-52 is still so-called old and strong. So how many B-52s are in service in the United States now? 76. If converted, one will cost $200 million to upgrade. How many F-35s can you buy with $200 million? So what does the upgrade of the B-52 strategic bomber mean? On the one hand, it means that the plan for the US B-21 strategic bomber seems to be delayed. At the same time, the number of the US B-21 strategic bombers seems to be unsatisfactory, so the only way is to extend the life of the old B-52 strategic bombers and upgrade them.

We also need to emphasize that the United States' current air-based nuclear forces in the three-pronged strategic nuclear force only have B-1b, B-52, and B-2. However, the B-1b is not good, the B-2 is not good, and the B-21 is late, so only the B-52 is left. If the B-52 serves for another 50 years, it will become an antique and a living fossil.

As for the United States itself, its current nuclear arsenal is seriously outdated. This is not what I said, but what the American media said. If I were to say that it is true, the triad strategic nuclear force, the Minuteman-3 is outdated, the B-52, B-1b, B-2, and the sea-based nuclear force, the Ohio-class strategic missile nuclear submarine is also outdated, which means that the US nuclear arsenal is seriously outdated.

The United States is now trying to extend the life of the B-52 by robbing Peter to pay Paul. The B-52 strategic bomber had a maximum of 744 aircraft, and now only 1/10 of it is left, which is 76. So the United States, as the landlord, is really having a hard time, which is why it keeps upgrading these old aircraft and extending their life to continue its hegemony.
