B-1B Train LRASM Capability During USAF Bomber Mission Across The Black Sea

Wondering where the best place is to post this Naval News article is.  Hoping it's here.

First, recently I posted here a SF2 missile file that is the Long Range Anti-Ship Missile or LRASM.  It's intended to provide a long-range stick - like over 300 miles - to deal with modern warships.

With that, this might interest us all:

Quote

Two B-1B Lancers from the 28th Bomb Wing, Ellsworth Air Force Base, South Dakota, conducted a long-range strategic Bomber Task Force mission to the Black Sea region, 29 May, 2020.

During the mission, the two B-1s conducted training on the Long Range Anti-ship Missile (LRASM). Designed to target adversary ships, the LRASM gives the B-1 the ability to have advanced stand-off and counter-ship capabilities.

The LRASM is a next generation weapon designed to detect and destroy specific targets within groups of surface warships in electronic warfare environments.

 

The whole article is worth a read.
