This is Why the Rockwell B-1 Lancer No Longer Carry Nuclear Weapons
Показать описание
The B-1B Lancer bomber is no longer certified to carry nuclear weapons. In 2022, the US Air Force completed the removal of the B-1B's nuclear capability, as part of a broader effort to modernize the bomber fleet and comply with arms control agreements.
The B-1B's nuclear mission was officially terminated in October 2022, and the aircraft will now focus on conventional missions. This change allows the Air Force to focus on modernizing the B-1B's conventional capabilities, including the integration of new precision-guided munitions and sensors.
It's worth noting that the US Air Force still maintains a nuclear-capable bomber fleet, including the B-2 Spirit and B-52 Stratofortress, which will continue to play a critical role in the nation's nuclear deterrence strategy.
