Think about what you just said - getting B-52s involved. Firstly, the B-52s would have to release these bombs within their stated range - 150km of the target. What B-52 can survive at that range against S-400s? Simple answer - none.
Secondly, involving B-52s means unambiguous direct involvement in the war by the USA. Think now "WWIII".
