And the reason Israel wants us to participate, is because they don’t have the heavy bombers needed to carry this massive non-nuclear bunker busting bomb of ours.
It really does seem to be a very sharp dividing line. Fighters have a very prescribed mission, size and range. A bomber is all about delivering a large payload very far away. Very few countries have (or had) the ability to churn out large numbers of long range bombers.

Love the props.
In Russia, the you don’t drop the bomb. The bomb drops you.
The turboprop bomber used for the Czar Bomb test was the Tupolev Tu-95 "Bear". The Myasischev M-4 "Bison" was jet powered.
