The plan includes increasing the payload capacity of the "B-1 B" bomber and enhancing its weapon-carrying ability, with the purchase of 145 launchers and restoring its external weapon attachment capability. Additionally, modern satellite communication systems will be installed on 18 aircraft by 2027. As for the "B-2" bombers, updates will include upgrades to the launch systems and radars to improve their capabilities and safety, with procurement beginning in 2027 and new equipment installed by 2029.
