US Air Force Strategic Bomber crashed in Montana

The US Air Force strategic bomber B-1B crashed in the US state of Montana. Two pilots and two crew members managed to eject.

According to preliminary information, they received minor injuries, ITAR-TASS reports with reference to Kevin Kennedy, a representative of the US Air Force.

A bomber assigned to an airbase in South Dakota collapsed in remote areas, 270 km southeast of the city of Billings.

Rescue services are sent to the crash site.

It is not reported whether any weapons were on board the bomber. The cause of the accident is not yet known.

The B-1B Lancer strategic bomber, with variable wing geometry, was created at the end of 1970's as a carrier of nuclear weaponshowever, it has now been re-equipped to deliver high-precision non-nuclear ammunition to targets.

They have no new bombers. Well, except for the B-2, but it’s hard to call him a mass bomb. It stands like a bridge made of platinum, and the practical benefits of it are not commensurate with its value.

In general, the news, of course, is positive.

These Americans are just eating burgers and chewing gum. They don’t know anything. A backward nation, a country is heading into the abyss, only claims.

I think if a bomber would fall with us, all Americans would write something similar about Russia. Only change the text of the Americans to Russian, and hamburgers to vodka.

In New Jersey, a U.S. Navy-based explosion occurred. According to ITAR-TASS, citing CNN, eight people were injured. The explosion occurred in one of the buildings located along the coast. The house started a fire. Rescuers work at the place of emergency.

The destination of the Navy base in the city of Middletown is the storage of ammunition. About 1,5 thousand military personnel and civilians work at the facility.

It means that you simply have not yet matured to understand some things. There is only one greatest value on earth - life. Do not confuse the government and the oligarchy with the people. Americans are an unhappy people who are zombified and twisted as they want. There is no freedom as such at all, but only its illusion. We, Russians, are a peacemaker and the qualities that you describe are not peculiar to us. The overthrow of the tyrant / the destruction of the enemy - yes, but not the destruction of the people. Look at our story.

So I suggest that you put your populism aside and think about the meaning of life

[uralkos]

It is important to educate the spirit and not the life of the beast (body). As the very purpose of being on earth, if you want the meaning of life. Go through many worlds, knowing them, and perfecting your spirit.

The cause of the accident is not yet known.

Well, residents of several states threatened to shoot down UAVs, they saw a little mistake Well, or in continuation of all the hesitant LGBT topics, I can assume that the accident occurred due to gender inequality in the crew, the US pilots must be gay!

B-1B is not a strategist

12 thousand km range, why is he not a strategist?

[Constantine]

Quote: Wedmak

12 thousand km range, why is he not a strategist?

With the fact that it is converted to simple weapons and it makes little difference how far it flies. Front-line bombers fly in the air as much fly, but what's the point? It is strategic from the fact that it carries strategic nuclear weapons, and without it, it is an ordinary bomber.

The strategic bomber B-1B Lancer, with variable wing geometry, was created at the end of the 1970's as a carrier of nuclear weapons, but now it is converted to deliver high-precision non-nuclear munitions to targets.

It is customary to call a bomber strategic only when it has an intercontinental range (over 5000 km) and is capable of using nuclear weapons. For example, aircraft such as Tu-22M, Tu-16 and B-47 are capable of using strategic nuclear weapons, but do not have an intercontinental flight range, and therefore are often called long-range bombers. (Actually, this use of the term “long-range bombers” is incorrect, since such bombers, without having an intercontinental flight range, are technically strategic bombers as well. That is, intercontinental and so-called “long-range” bombers are nothing more than two subclasses of strategic bombers.)

I agree with you about the failure of avionics, but this fits into my version, why not ??? Rescuing the plane after the test of the secret weapon is a dubious question, perhaps it was not possible. And along the way they rolled out new modifications of the catapults, this is a plus, they are not to be occupied in practicality. I agree 100% about our guys

But I wonder if the United States is able to reproduce such bombers again.

[Wedmak]

Well, the F-22 did the same. A promising bomber is such a cut of dough that all of their printing presses will overheat.

[shower]

Yes, I would also like to add that someone may doubt that it is inexpedient to run weapons in a full aviation complex + pilots, you can use models, UAVs. Here I can assume that the weapon is in the final phase of testing and by the way were there pilots, and if there were then at what point the catapults worked?

[Wedmak]

that weapons are in the final phase of testing

What weapon? Over the past two decades, the United States has created so much ... so much ... new ... you can count on your fingers! Moreover, half of this is still being completed. And the second half is unlikely to go beyond laboratories and test benches.

By the way, were there pilots, and if there were then at what point the catapults worked?

The "Crash" light came on, and they flew away ... there they don't worry about the equipment, as we do. Each plane is a living organism, a friend and partner of the pilot.

[Oskar]

It has always been like this with us. Pilots cherish every penny, especially now, when many losses are irreparable. It is a pity that no one cherishes a job for those who are supposed to be ex officio.

[shower]

What weapon?
For example HAARP, heats the atmosphere to a plasma state.
If interesting

For example HAARP

All results are classified, but there is reason to believe that the cat wept for these results.

Heats the atmosphere to a plasma state.

Not the atmosphere, but the stratosphere, where there is no particular air anyway, some electrons with protons go around. That is, in fact, rarefied plasma. And it does not warm, but ionizes. They, in addition to breaking long-distance radio communications, did not achieve anything in my opinion. The project was recently closed.
More options?

Well, if something was significant, there would be a continuation of the project. Or its modernization. But everything quietly closed peacefully. But Americans are famous lovers of praising their own achievements.

I agree, but as a rule, deliberately failed projects are praised, they are pushing disu while no one has yet understood, but how they get silent they are silent in a rag.

[Wedmak]

but how come what is silent in a rag.

Well, not really either. An example of this is F-22. Oh, like a booster plane. But no .. little is known about him. Those. he is, flies, here! He is cool! But the characteristics are hushed up, in hostilities it does not accept (by the way, but against whom, in fact?). HAARP is more difficult of course, but using all the achievements in high technology as an example - hypersound, railgun, combat lasers, wave weapons, etc. we can conclude: Americans want to bite off a piece that they can not swallow. Too expensive technology at the moment.

In addition, I propose to issue Russian citizenship to all pilots, the ship's commander a three-room apartment in Lyubertsy and the Black Volga, the rest of the crew members a two-room apartment and the prior's car. In addition, I consider to present the entire crew for the awards "Air Defense Veteran"

[AIR ZNAK]

The plane crashed from the strategists. In the short term, it seems like not bad. One less carrier. But if you still get one, then, of course, this model will be replaced with new products. It’s better if they fly longer and calmly become obsolete mentally and physically, than new developments will soon come in their place. Ahead of ours. And that the pilots are alive, plus.

[Wedmak]

than new developments will soon come in their place.

And they don’t even hear about the development of a new strategist. We even started ... However, their 60 B-1 and hundreds of B-52 will be enough for a long time. And how they will protect the B-2, blow off dust particles!

B-52 when released, and everyone will upgrade it. Already a CD carrier have been made. The platform is good, so they drive until the metal fatigue does its job.

Bgg, the version about pedras is confirmed

The pilots of the strategic bomber that crashed in the United States were gay and were "high"

The US Air Force B-1B bomber that crashed on Monday, August 19 in Montana was driven by drunken pilots, the Associated Press reports, citing witnesses to the incident/
The B-1B crew members were injured, but their lives were not in danger, US Air Force officials said. The circumstances surrounding the B-1B crash are under investigation. Immediately after the incident, the pilots “giggled” and asked for food. This is a sign of marijuana use, experts say.
In addition, according to eyewitnesses, the pilot-in-command and co-pilot acted as if there was “something” between them.

To follow up with a photo of the crash site. Judging by the round trail, these stoned gays tried to make a vertical landing on the bomber
