Lance Twiggs is the romantic partner, roommate, and key prosecution witness in the Charlie Kirk assassination case, cooperating with immunity after his DNA and communications linked him to suspect Tyler Robinson.

The B-52 is not a stealth aircraft. Modern radar systems can track it from hundreds of miles away. Russia's S-400 and China's HQ-9 surface-to-air missile systems are specifically designed to engage large aircraft at long range. So how does a 70-year-old, non-stealthy bomber survive in a world with these weapons — and would it even try to fly into range of them?

In the weeks before the Gulf War ground assault began in February 1991, B-52s flew over 800 sorties against Iraqi Republican Guard positions in Kuwait and southern Iraq. The psychological effect was as significant as the physical destruction. Iraqi soldiers who survived the bombing were surrendering to anyone they could find — including journalists — because they would rather be captured than spend another hour under B-52 strikes.

In Vietnam, B-52s dropped bombs in patterns that obliterated everything within a football-field-sized area. Today, the same aircraft can drop a weapon from the same altitude and hit a specific room in a specific building. Here is how bombing accuracy changed across seven decades — and what made the transformation possible.

The B-21 Raider is America's newest bomber — stealthy, modern, and designed for the most contested airspace on earth. The B-52 is from 1952, visible to radar, and older than most living pilots. The US Air Force is flying both simultaneously and has no plans to retire the B-52 until 2050. Here is what each one does that the other cannot.
