B-1B Bomber

The B-1B Lancer is a supersonic strategic bomber developed by the United States during the Cold War. Designed for long-range missions, it features variable-sweep wings that allow both high-speed penetration at low altitude and efficient cruising over long distances. Although originally conceived for nuclear deterrence, the B-1B has been extensively used in conventional roles, thanks to its large payload capacity and advanced avionics. Fast, flexible, and heavily upgraded over the years, the B-1B remains a key asset of the U.S. Air Force despite its aging design.
