A B-52 from the 307th Bomb Wing at Barksdale AFB, La., deployed Tuesday to take part in a Slovak air show. The bomber will participate as a static display in the Slovak International Air Fest at Sliac AB, Slovakia, Aug. 27-28, according to US Air Forces in Europe release. A contingent of A-10s deployed to the Central European country that borders Ukraine in July in support of Operation Atlantic Resolve.
Defense industry leaders say the Air Force needs to be able to update the software on its munitions multiple times a day, not every few months, and a new Pentagon instruction released last week could enable that.
