Ok some be over obsessing over flying to Moscow and dropping bombs there to fly home.No.Flying close enough that stand-off missiles can fly the rest of way, is much more likely.Besides at the current development of NATO, we're talking of flying from Poland and Sweden if not from Finland.Whereas, what Lybia, and Syria showed was every drop tank reduces the ordinance carried and forces more hours of subsonic flight just to get weapons on target. Lots of fuel burnt for little outcome.I was trying to suggest this over 25 years ago about the UK needing something like the Russian Joint Continental Bomber / Long-range fighter (701) concept to succeed Tornado.
