The Boeing B-52H Stratofortress is a long-range strategic bomber, designed in the late 1940s and introduced into service with the United States Air Force (USAF) during the Cold War, specifically from 1961. It is the successor to earlier B-52 variants and remains a core component of strategic forces to this day, participating in numerous military conflicts — from Operation Rolling Thunder in Vietnam and Desert Storm, to contemporary missions in the Middle East.
