This is historical footage of a test drop of an unarmed AGM-86B air-launched cruise missile by a B-52H Stratofortress over the Utah Test and Training Range on September 22, 2014. Twenty nuclear tipped AGM-86B missiles can be deployed by one B-52H. The weapon has a range of 1000 miles, so no B-52 aircraft has to enter enemy territory. The ending footage is Castle Bravo nuclear test.
