B52s over the Baltic Sea

U.S. Air Force B-52H Stratofortresses assigned to the 96th Bomb Squadron missions over the Baltic Sea during Bomber Task Force Europe 20-1, Oct. 23, 2019. Strategic bombers contribute to stability in the European theater, as they are intended to deter conflict rather than instigate it, demonstrating the credibility of U.S. forces to address the current global security environment.
