A guy on reddit posted photos of two air tankers with F-15 escorts, a B-1B, and a B-52, flying over Somerset some 7 hours ago. The B-52 was loaded with what looked like JASSMs, which is essentially an air-launched cruise missile, intended to keep the plane out of SAM range. FWIW, it’s what they’ve been lobbing for the past few weeks anyway.
Can someone explain some details?

OK, thanks for clarifying.
