Ribit> B-52 Bombers Deployed To Fight ISIS: Carpet-Bombing To Be Employed Against Terrorists?


Actually,
Our B-52's have been upgraded to carry smart bombs.
Word has it, that a few smart bombs do more damage
to the intended targets than carpet bombing ever
accomplished.

The B-52 gets upgraded weapons bay

http://www.gizmag.com/b-52-weapons-bay/35706/

For a plane that's now being flown by the original crews' grandchildren, the B-52 is still going strong. For its latest upgrade, Boeing has installed a new weapons bay launcher that will allow the venerable bomber to carry smart weapons inside and reduce fuel consumption.

When the B-52 entered service in the 1950s, launching its main weapons was very simple; it opened the bomb bay doors and the bombs slid out of their racks. Sixty years later, the B-52's conventional arsenal of "dumb" iron bombs has given way to a suite of laser-guided munitions, cruise missiles, and an assortment of stand-off and smart weapons. As a result, the bomb bay has become something like a cross between a revolver and a vending machine, with a rotating cradle that allows the pilot to select particular weapons and move them into launch position automatically.
