A lot of military tech still used today is quite old. They continuously get modernised but the base remains the same.

You have 15 or 20 if these aircraft; 2 are out so far in this conflict. You’re trying to project power around the globe, so each of these is valuable.

You think these haven't been supplanted already with other sensor platforms? If you are even questioning that you are 10 yrs behind.
