The flight of the B-52 of the US Air Force with nuclear AGM-181A missiles is a signal to Moscow, the media reports.
The flight of the B-52H strategic bomber with unknown cruise missiles, which could be nuclear AGM-181A, was noticed in the US. Demonstrative tests may be a signal to Moscow, the media reports.
An amateur photographer captured a photo of a US Air Force (USAF) plane flying at low altitude over the Owens Valley in eastern California. Under the wing of the aircraft, a pylon with two cruise missiles was observed.
It is speculated online that these are AGM-181A missiles being developed under the Long Range Stand-off program. Their demonstration could be a response to reports about the testing of the Russian missile with a nuclear power plant, the 'Burevestnik'.
It is noted that the B-52H flew at an altitude of 1,500 meters with its transponder on over an open area. Orange stripes indicating the test nature of the flight were visible on the wings and fuselage.
"The bomber's flight with these missiles is a direct signal to Moscow. A signal that the US is preparing for nuclear war, testing and adopting new weapons intended specifically for this type of conflict," the media suggests.
