TIL, thank-you.  Huh, wonder when they changed the nomenclature?

Anyway, the succesful project to rename it---I don't believe for one second that the US has gotten rid of default targeting options for the NCA in the insanely-unlikely event of the strategic deterrent being threatened---probably did give some O-6 their star.

Wow, I would've guessed that tidbit recipe-worthy.  Although, if only counterforce options are available in the SIOP...

The SIOP hasn't existed for over a decade.

I don’t think so.

The original photo is of B61s, so....yes, "canned sunshine".

If you wanted to get really pedantic, they're not B61-12s in the photo, so those specific versions of sunshine-in-a-can in the pic won't be falling out of a B-21 weapons bay, no.

Oh, there are certainly still plans, they're just under the "OPLAN" nomenclature now.

There are many OPLANs which offer a variety of strategies for a long, long list of possible scenarios rather than a "one size fits all doomsday plan" like the SIOP was.

I suspect it’s too soon to comment on exactly how they’ll use the B-21 other than bombing. The presence of two small bays besides the large one likely indicate the ability to fire AAMs and almost certainly indicate a SEAD capability not present on subsonic bombers in many decades. USAF has always tried to have at least one strategic bomber capable of penetrating without escort and the B-21 is going to be that bomber.

^^ This^^

The self-escort and self-DEAD/SEAD possibilities are very interesting for a strategic bomber, indeed.
