A U.S. Air Force B-52 Stratofortress from Minot Air Force Base, N.D. approaches a KC-135 Stratotanker before an aerial refueling mission over the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility Dec. 30, 2020. The deployment underscores the U.S. military's commitment to regional security and demonstrates a unique ability to rapidly deploy overwhelming combat power on short notice. The B-52 “Stratofortress” is a long-range, heavy bomber that is capable of flying at high subsonic speeds at altitudes of up to 50,000 feet and provides the United States with immediate nuclear and conventional global strike capability.
