The B-52 Stratofortress, nicknamed the “BUFF,” is the world’s most feared nuclear bomber. Built during the Cold War, the B-52 has remained in active service for over 70 years and is still a vital part of the US Air Force’s strategic bomber fleet.
With its long-range, nuclear strike capability, and massive payload, the B-52 is a true legend of military aviation. Even in 2025, this nuclear-capable giant continues to dominate the skies and symbolize US air power.
Watch this video to discover why the B-52 remains the world’s most feared nuclear bomber and how it has adapted to modern warfare.
The B-52 is one of the most iconic and intimidating aircraft ever built. It’s been flying for over 70 years, has the capability to deliver nuclear weapons anywhere in the world, and it’s still a critical part of the U.S. Air Force’s mission today.
