The US military is flexing its airpower muscles in the Middle East with supersonic bomber flights in the region

• The US military's B-1 Lancer carried out another mission around the Middle East this week.
• The supersonic bomber has flown several missions around the region since the beginning of November.
• The display of combat power, though unrelated, comes at a time of increased military activity in the area.

US military B-1 Lancers have been busy in the Middle East this month. The lastest mission is the third time in just a little over a week that the supersonic bombers have been used to put American airpower on display in the region.
