Market Overview

A medium-to-long-range bomber aircraft known as a strategic bomber is made to dump massive quantities of air-to-ground weapons on far-off targets to the enemy's ability to wage war. Strategic bombers are built to travel far inside enemy territory to carry out nuclear strike missions and destroy strategic targets such as important infrastructure, logistical facilities, military stations, factories, and cities. A strategic bomber can be a more deadly force against adversaries and provide more flexibility in a situation of increased tensions and conflicts. As such, a strategic bomber is widely used in training, numerous tactical operations, and the military and defense sectors. Increasing geopolitical tensions, particularly between neighboring countries, and the growing threat of terrorism are some of the primary factors driving the growth of the strategic bomber market. Growing geopolitical tensions and the fear of terrorism, particularly between adjacent nations, are major factors driving the growth of the strategic bomber market.
