If the EU is looking for more reach without carriers, how about heavy
bombers


They don't need bombers for two reasons:

1. The USA will protect them. They claim they don't like that, but it
speaks volumes that they have all (except for the UK) let their military
budgets and capabilities decline to ludicrous levels.


The Chancellor has reduced the military budget by 1 billion GBP for the
next year.
