I was talkin with a friend about the way bombers don't use guns for defense anymore, and he told me that B-52s use a stinger missile launcher instead of the old 20mm cannon in their tail compartments. Is this true?
Also, I saw that the Russians have developed missiles that can be fired at targets behind the aircraft, which is why the Su37 has a big tail extension, so that it can house the radar for this.
I was just wondering if they plan to use systems like this in new bombers like the B-1 and the Tu-160 Blackjack?
