US B-1B shows hypersonic missile, where is it deployed?

The US Air Force has released images of the B-1B Lancer bomber carrying the AGM-183 ARRW hypersonic missile, signaling a renewed push for hypersonic weapons development. The 2026 budget allocates significant funding for the B-1B as a test platform and for the development of ARRW and ALBM programs. This move reflects increased strategic competition with China and reinforces the B-1B’s role as a key platform for US deterrence.
