The US Air Force is thinking about upgrading B-52 bombers.

According to experts of the US Air Force, B-52 bombers still have a high potential, however, some disadvantages with engines seriously reduce the effectiveness of these aircraft, in particular, bombers often need additional fueling, which deprives them of the chances of successful fulfillment of the assigned tasks .

In the near future, experts will consider the possible modernization of these aircraft, in particular, it is about replacing engines, but the rationality of this approach will most likely rest on the cost and timing of the project, however, experts note that this approach will prolong the use of these aircraft For at least a decade.
