? The B-1B never got ALCM capability, and when they were on alert for a short period before being de-nuked I'm pretty sure they did use the AGM-69 on occasion. B-1B and B-2A would've both used SRAM-II had it proceeded and the B-1B retained the nuke role. Never. That's one of the more asinine myths that keeps getting repeated, just like the one that claimed that SR-71s stopped flying in locations where MiG-31s were deployed. MiG-31 pilots intercepting the Blackbird tend to disagree with that one. The SR-71A did overfly Libyan SA-5 GAMMON batteries. Whether they were operational at the time (post-EL DORADO CANYON) is another story. Regardless they often flew into SA-5 engagement zones along the Korean DMZ and various palces in Europe and the Middle East.
