B-52s don't fly close support. What they do is shock and wonders on infantry. Secondly actually they can do a lot against enemy armor, there is no armor on top and even a close hit will cause concussion to the crew and make them combat ineffective...hard to fight while your ears, nose and eyes are bleeding. Enemy armor only survives if its in concrete bunkers. If you are going to use Apaches, you need to bring in armor as well to over whelm the enemy.

70 dead T-72's (the Iraqi's best tank) sounds pretty overwhelming. The results of this engagement speak for themselves.
