>>64090952No, we're doing that thing where you pretend that deep penetration raids are something you can just do at the drop of a hat. Apparently you need it spelled out that the USSR still had an air force in 1945, and that it wasn't completely swamped with intercept mission to the point where "probably a recon flight" wasn't worth the effort of intercepting. You're not getting one of the less than 5 nukes the US can get together in late '45 into Moscow without first winning the air war for a third time, against an enemy that now knows what a lone bomber can mean.
Can it be done, yes. But now you're asking for a major air campaign that's going to involve throwing that bomber force that just got done thinking it was over back into months of high-intensity operations, including about 300 miles round-trip outside of escort range. It took less than 6 months for the Cold War mentality to settle in, you do not have time to re-invigorate the armed forces for another round or develop a smaller bomb.
You stupid fucking niggers fundamentally fail to grasp the monumental scale of the things you ask for, and then have the utter fucking gall to ask with a straight face why nobody does it.
