I'll match your bet and raise you a hyena with t2 gear.
Dead crow.
Ok, someone please do the math and tell me if the missiles would hit.
Also do the results for a crow doing 9.5km/s (the rocket crow above does 8.5km/s).
I'm rather rubbish at math but I am very curious how this situation would go if the bomber pilot is good (read, to attack or not to attack ^^).
Hyena = Minnnie EAS, not a bomber.

hehe. It would come down to your travel time of your rockets. Hyena can go 6000-7000, so if it nabs you before you can lay the smack down it would get interesting. I'd be willing to test on test server? (Mainly cause I like the hyena.)
I have a faction web though, which can be overloaded if needed, i dont know much about the EA frigs tbh.
But, stealth bomber cruise missiles vs my setup?
The cruise missiles of a bomber get a explosion radius bonus but no explosion velocity bonus. In other words, if you're at speed they won't harm you anymore than the cruise missiles from a Raven would. Most stealth bombers carry 1-2 damps though, so you'd have to come in very close to fight him. And if he's set up to bait interceptors he'll have a web ready for you at which point you'll get one-volleyed.

laugh # 1
a lonely hyena? against a crow?
you have to be kidding.
laugh #2 is actually at your signature.
To the op: 8.5 km/s is tremendously slow with that faction gear you are fitting, and implants you claim to use, besides your EFT shows you cannot even use that, hence that screenshot is broken.
To the rest, if you think a plated crow cannot fly over 10km/s, you have yet a lot to see. hell, a machariel can fly at that speed!
8.5km/s is fast enough, who cares what gear you're using, if its fast enough its fast enough, show me the maths of a weapon system that can hit 8.5km/s and we'll talk.
Thrasher with 250mm artillery II and some tracking mods (and NOT using tech 2 ammo since it either kills your tracking or your range) can hit a 15 km/s Crow orbiting it at 20-25 km range hard enough to force it to run away. Tested.
(And that was with destroyer 4, so only 40% tracking bonus. Would do even better with destroyer 5.)

That sounds bloody insane :D
Though, that would be rather nasty to any interceptor :)
Yeah, but they'll just run away.  The dps is pretty poor, and the alpha strike is not enough.
