 * Wikipedia cannot cite itself, so we need a reliable published source for the claim. There is a cited source in that article for the claim, but it's behind a paywall. Since I can't verify the claim, I won't add it. It does seem odd that an event that supposedly happened over 20 years ago is already the article, and I certainly don't remember hearing about it in 2001. BilCat (talk) 03:06, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
 * According to https://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/systems/b-1b-loss.htm there were two losses near Afghanistan, but neither were due to combat. Mysticdan (talk) 13:56, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Overkill F-111
Seperating from the standard notion of flying fast and high, the F-14 on steroids instead flies low and very fast. the small murican' Tu-160 has a top speed around mach 1.8 or, one bajillion miles per century. the actually useful murican' MiG-23 is one of the 3 American strategic bombers. the oversized Tu-22m is far more useful and overall better than the Tu-22m.
