As an intermediate bomber i guess it could be more accurately compared to the B-58 rather than the XB-70, as the XB-70 was of course meant as an intercontinental strategic bomber.
Well, it seems that the T-4 is much smaller, meaning it would probably hold less fuel. Maybe it also has less range. The XB-70 does seem more refined and I still question the reason the T-4 program was quit, especially considering that it supposedly held a record of Mach 1.89 over a closed course. It might not have been successful in reaching its claimed top speed.
Wow. Funny how it mentions that they blatantly copied “several J93 features.” How would they get the blueprints of the XB-70 engine. While people might refute that the Soviets copied many American planes, I think this is strong evidence that they did. Anyhow, the Valkyrie actually went Mach 3, while the T-4 didn’t, something no one can refute.
Why not expand it to whatever you or your allies have built? IMO, that would give a bit more flexibility, otherwise we’ll end up with a lot of force lists that look remarkably like what’s been used.
I guess that the EU could be counted as a single force, given they use the same currency, have integrated companies, and are very intertwined.

Well, Australia does have a somewhat diverse range of planes. A quick look at wikipedia shows:
C-130, C-17, F/A-18, F-111 (only country besides US with that one), KC-30, and the Super Hornet in the future.

I put the Mirage IV in the same class as small-medium bombers such as the TSR.2, F-111, B-58, Tu-22M, etc. How does the IV compare to those? Can it compete with them in range? speed? payload?
Firebar, why do you keep on insisting that the Mig-25/31 has the speed and range of the Blackbird. I guess you cannot face the countless facts and world records the SR-71 has set and will never be satisfied. Oh yeah, the YF-12 has carried and launched missiles while cruising at Mach 3, a speed the Mig-25 can only desperately achieve. Please, the facts speak for themselves and no account by any person can change them-you can’t argue the numbers.
A shot at the M-21, a part of the Blackbird family, eh? Well, it was a different idea, but they got it to work with the B-52 and D-21. At least one still exists in the Seattle Museum of Flight.
