For many years the Vulcan in particular performed exceptionally well in various strategic bomber competitions again the Buff..
With probably half a dozen and usually Tory ( we are the party of law order and defence not) defence reviews and stand downs; there would be no way a conventional heavy bomber and one with a nuclear free fall bomb capability would be in service today; it’s a fantasy dream period stop
The roll of the Buff in carpet bombing is pretty much redundant after the first few days of any military intervention today, and even that can be accomplished via alternative methods including cruise missiles and stealthy cover of night attacks delivered on strategic targets.
These are what’s called command and control facilities including media, power, air traffic , runways and controls systems .Cut these and the enemy is blinded
None of those require Buff to be honest .
