How US and Russia Lost Two Strategic Nuclear Bombers in 24 Hours | Vantage on Firstpost

On the 15th of June, the US Air Force lost one of its B-52 strategic nuclear bombers in California resulting in the death of 8 aircrew. A day prior, Russia lost its Tu-22M3 strategic nuclear bomber due to an engine failure with the four crew ejecting safely. However, the loss of these two strategic bombers hurt the US and Russia deeply as it forces them to ground the entire fleets of the B-52 and the TU-22 respectively. With the US firepower stretched till Iran and with Russia struggling to end the war in Ukraine, both the superpowers are witnessing rising strain on their respective air forces.
