First flown in 1952, the Boeing B-52 has seen service in Vietnam, Desert Storm, the Global War on Terror \u2014 and now Iran. <\/p>\n

U.S. forces have hit 2,000 targets in Iran since the opening salvos of Operation Epic Fury on Feb. 28, adding the B-1 Lancer<\/a> and B-52 Stratofortress bombers to the air attacks, U.S. Central Command reported Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

The long-range, heavy bomber has the potential to become the first military aircraft to remain in service for a century. <\/p>\n

As of Sunday night, U.S. Air Force B-1B Lancer bombers conducted long-range strikes deep inside Iran. Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters Monday at the Pentagon that the strikes targeting ballistic missile facilities and command-and-control infrastructure resulted in \u201cthe establishment of local air superiority.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis air superiority will not only enhance the protection of our forces but also allow them to continue the work over Iran,\u201d Caine said.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, U.S. Central Command confirmed on X<\/a> that an armada of B-52s, nicknamed \u201cStratosaurus\u201d for its advanced years, was used in a strike against \u201cballistic missile and commander control posts.\u201d<\/p>\n

The B-52H is capable of flying at high subsonic speeds at altitudes of up to 50,000 feet. It can carry nuclear or precision-guided conventional ordnance, and it has a payload of approximately 70,000 pounds of mixed ordnance-bombs, mines and missiles, according to the Air Force. <\/p>\n

First flown on April 15, 1952, the prototype YB-52 Stratofortress was America\u2019s first all jet-engine intercontinental strategic bomber, according to historian Carl O. Schuster<\/a>.<\/p>\n

By building a remarkably light yet simple and durable airframe with an enormous volume of internal space, Boeing\u2019s design has allowed for continual upgrades well into the 21st century. <\/p>\n

The B-52D was the most numerous version in service when Stratofortress planes were ordered to support the Vietnam War in 1965, becoming the backbone of America\u2019s strategic bomber force.<\/p>\n

The B-52\u2019s most prominent missions over Vietnam were part of Operation Linebacker II, when the bombers were unleashed for 11 days in December 1972 to crush Hanoi and the seaport of Haiphong, according to historian Stephen Wilkinson<\/a>. The devastation they wrought convinced the North Vietnamese to return to the negotiating table. <\/p>\n

The plane has been in continuous use since then. <\/p>\n

During a Pentagon press briefing Wednesday on Operation Epic Fury, Caine, alongside Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, noted that, to date, the U.S. has hit over 2,000 total targets across Iran and destroyed more than 20 of the Islamic Republic\u2019s naval vessels<\/a>.<\/p>\n
