The air superiority B-52 seems hopeless, but what about a similar
concept: having the B-52 drop lots of laser-guided bombs, which are
guided by smaller aircraft lower down?

This way we could achieve air superiority at least against helicopters.  :-)

Of course the bomb might have a bit of trouble acquiring the target
from 6 miles up.
