minus-squarepiccolo@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8arrow-down2·11 个月前The B52 payload capacity is 70,000lbs. The GBU-57 is 30,000 lbs. So B52 can easily carry two. (After all, the b52 was built to carry nukes half way around the globe). They arent configured to carry it simply because its a slow, big target.
