Russia and China Should Freak: A B-52 Bomber ‘Super Squadron’ Is Coming Soon
Story by Maya Carlin •

Earlier this month, the 49th Test and Evaluation Squadron and 340th Weapons Squadron jointly created an integrated team designed to further develop tactics for un-fielded B-52 Stratofortress systems.

The commander of the 49th TES noted that “The B-52 is the foundational part of strategic deterrence; we need to start at a full sprint to keep pace in the ever-changing geostrategic environment. The synergies gained by this WPS and OT endeavor will help ensure we do just that.”
 
Although the B-52 has been in service with the U.S. Air Force for many decades, the platform is expected to undergo expansive upgrades in the future that will require training and also “cultural change” in the responsibilities of the B-52 aircrew.

Not to worry!

They will only be used to bomb  states that don't vote for the DNC.
Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!

The USAF has had a stable number of B-52s for several decades. I doubt that enough boneyard B-52s could be restored to operational condition to create a "super squadron", but I guess clickbaiters gotta clickbait.
I am not and never have been a leftist.
