FB-22 "Hustler II" firing a long range ramjet missile can be in

Three more years of F-22 production to keep the line warm then restart
production with FB-22s and every city on Earth will be hostage to
prompt stealth strike from existing USAF bases.

Of course this would require long range planning and initiative on the
part of The Force, so don't hold your breath.

We already have the B-1B. That aircraft can fire missiles. Attack mode
can be added to F-22s, but the B-1B is already up and running.
