The Bone
“硬骨頭”
Nicknamed “The Bone,” the B-1B Lancer is a long-range, multi-mission, supersonic conventional bomber, which has served the United States Air Force since 1985. The aircraft is on track to continue flying, at current demanding operations tempo, out to 2040 and beyond, and Boeing partners with the Air Force to keep the B-1 mission ready. Originally designed for nuclear capabilities, the B-1 switched to an exclusively conventional combat role in the mid-1990s. In 1999, during Operation Allied Force, six B-1s flew 2 percent of the strike missions, yet dropped 20 percent of the ordnance, and during Operation Enduring Freedom the B-1 flew on 2 percent of the sorties while dropping over 40 percent of the precision weapons. The B-1 has been nearly continuously deployed in combat operations over Afghanistan and Iraq since 2001.
B-1B型“槍騎兵”轟炸機外號“硬骨頭”，是長距離、多任務(wù)、超音速的常規(guī)轟炸機，從1985年起就在美國空軍服役。該機型擬繼續(xù)服役，在達到目前苛刻的行動速度條件下，一直飛到2040年以后。波音公司會與空軍合作，繼續(xù)維持B-1型轟炸機的任務(wù)。最初設(shè)計時，B-1轟炸機是能夠搭載核能力的，是在上世紀90年代中期才轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)閮H具備常規(guī)作戰(zhàn)能力的機型。在1999年的“聯(lián)軍作戰(zhàn)”行動中，六架B-1轟炸機在2%的打擊任務(wù)中投下了占總量20%的彈藥；在“自由長存”行動中，B-1轟炸機出動架次僅占總量2%，卻投下了四成以上的精密武器。從2001年起，在阿富汗和伊拉克的行動中幾乎在不停部署B(yǎng)-1轟炸機。
