Today they are used to knock out key rail and highway bridges, blast airfields, and deliver sledge?hammer attacks on supply storage areas, dock and harbor facilities and marshalling yards. Radar?aiming techniques make the Far East Air Force Bomber Command "Superfort" an ideal weapon to strike enemy frontline positions and troop concentrations. Machinegun fire from the medium bombers have destroyed or damaged about 60 enemy MIGs and numerous propeller driven aircraft since the start of the Korean War.
