The rapid development of science and technology not only promotes the realization of people's modern life, but also has a very important role in the progress of military equipment. As a symbol of national air force strength, strategic bombers not only enhance the overall combat strength of the air force, but also play a role in the strategic deterrence of the show muscle.
