"It won't be replaced since the B-2 line was shut down a long time ago. The Air Force has much more pressing needs than replacing a single airplane with a 40% operational readiness rate."

Just pull one of these out of the boneyard to replace it:

I think we only got 90 or so B-52s left, many of them were scraped and destroyed under the disarmament treaty we had with the Russians......

There wouldn’t be any B-52Hs at AMARC (Boneyard). Minot AFB has an attrition reserve of B-52Hs.

I think that's an -H model. None of those in the bone yard, AFAIK. However about 1/3 of the B-1s are in the bone yard, pull a couple of those, assuming they haven't all been too cannibalized for parts, to replace the lost stealth.
