Very interesting -that puts it into perspective. That's a lot of metal

And 1000 nm of penetration is quite an ask - based from C Poland that means you can strike as far as Tunis, Georgia, Murmansk, Kazan and just into Kazakhstan - that's almost strategic bomber country. Or from S Japan almost the whole of Eastern and NE China

The Uk couldn't afford the TSR-2 or the F-111. And that was during the cold war - I can't see how we'll be able to afford anything similar today.
