I would like to order some form a of a long range bomb like a B-52 but maybe even better... suggestions?

Check your TG's. Ah what they hey....this works now so I may as well try the forum..

Why have a B-52 when you can have an EB-52, stealthier then the B-2 but with a much higher bomb compacity and equal range. Or the EB-1C, even stealthier then the EB-52 but with less of a bomb load and more speed.

The Republic of China does not sell it's military hardware overseas, but is more than willing to sell it's airliners - which can be converted to military use fairly easily.

CIWS? Isn't it supersonic?

what difference does it make? If missiles are coming up on it's tail they flip up and spew lead

We will glady give 789 of our EV-90 "Eagle-Eyes".They are very efficient and powerful.PLus we will give them to you for free.They are on the aircraft carrier "Triumph" heading for your ports to deliver the aircraft.

Too clunky and un-aerodynamic.

Not if you think about it. The plane already has RFR, so all it needs are some 12.7mm gatling guns with about 120 degrees of motion laterally and at least some partial movement horizontally
