What additional useful capability does this provide? ICBM's already provide global nuclear strike capability. FWIW the US also had a mad doomsday nuclear power

  It's the dream. A flying carrier delivers conventional air superiority anywhere on the planet in hours at a fraction of the cost and risk associated with naval carriers. ICBMs are a ww3 doomsday weapon and belong to a completely different class. The ideal air superiority fight for USA would be to get a bunch of large long-range cargo planes carrying pallet launched missiles and drones and dump it all at standoff range. The only thing holding that strategy back is the cost and logistics of keeping those planes fuelled in the air.

    Keeping those planes maintained and serviced is going to cost abit too.
