I was not aware, but they carry up to 20 cruise missiles these days (potentially nuclear). Also, we pulled this same stunt in November and last January.

 

These slow old geezers aren't getting anywhere near a conventional military with full anti-aircraft capabilities to drop bombs. They would be shot out of the sky in minutes.

 

True. They're only effective with air superiority and a complete degradation of ground-to-air defenses.

 

While I think any actual attack is highly unlikely, it's more posturing by trump and likely intended as a favor to MBS.
