五角大楼总算意识到F-22/35火力不足了，要装备武库机来 ...

五角大楼总算认识到只顾雷达隐身的F-22和F35四代机的携弹量小、火力不足问题了。米帝防长卡特宣布，在2017年军费里要划出一笔经费来把一些老旧战机改装成专门发射导弹的武库机来辅助四代机， 弥补其火力的缺口。专家们估计，B-52和B-1轰炸机可能是首选。

米帝的F-22内舱只能携带两枚空空导弹和2至8枚炸弹。严重超支的F-35因为软件的问题目前也只能携带2枚炸弹和两枚空空导弹。

米帝海军九十年代曾经闹得沸沸扬扬的武库舰计划因为费用超标而被最终放弃。

A semi-secret Pentagon plan to convert old war planes into “flying launchpads” or “arsenal planes” to aid stealthier, less weapons-capable planes was mentioned by Defense Secretary Ash Carter in a speech outlining a $583 billion military budget for 2017.

The F-22 is capable of carrying just two air-to-air missiles and from two to eight bombs, depending on the type. The F-35, a notoriously over-budget and under-performing plane, can only handle two bombs and two air-to-air missiles due to its unfinished software system.

One likely contender for the arsenal plane is the B-52, a bomber first introduced in 1955, which can carry a weapons payload of up to 70,000 pounds (31,750 kilograms). Another is the B-1 bomber, which debuted in 1986 and is able to reach supersonic speeds, meaning it is relatively well-suited to accompany F-22s and F-35s. Other possibilities include cargo planes such as the C-130 Hercules and the superior C-17 Globemaster.

A similar “arsenal ship” program was sought by the Navy in the 1990s, but ultimately was deemed too expensive to complete.
