BARKSDALE AIR FORCE BASE, La., Jan. 14 (UPI) -- U.S. B-52 bombers now have a new weapons capability through the use of upgraded internal weapons bay launchers from Boeing.
The upgraded weapons bays, which can be transferred from one aircraft to another, have been installed on six bombers at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana and enable the B-52s to carry GPS-guided or "smart" weapons in their internal weapons bay for the first time.
