Footages & images coming from RAF Fairford shows American B-1B Lancer aircraft being prepared for a strike mission targeting Iran.
The video captures ground crews loading the bombers with a mix of precision-guided weapons. Among the munitions visible are AGM-158 Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) , a standard long-range strike weapon carried by the B-1B, as well as GBU-31 Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) fitted with BLU-109 penetrator warheads designed to destroy hardened or fortified targets.
The footage also provides a clear view of the bomber’s revolving weapons rack being removed from the internal weapons bay, a component that allows the aircraft to carry and rapidly deploy multiple cruise missiles during a single sortie. The bomber seems poised to be loaded with bunker-busting JDAMs, indicating a shift in the operational environment.
In this video, Defense Updates analyzes why B-1B getting armed with GBU-31 JDAMs instead of JASSM is bad news for IRAN?
