The Swedish fighters escorted the B-52s to Vidsel Test Range, where the bombers released GBU-30 joint direct attack munitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joint terminal attack controllers from both the U.S. and Swedish militaries were on the ground supporting the drops, the Air Force said, and helped the forces practice how air and ground units work together with one another to deliver precision strikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vidsel is located about 580 miles north of Stockholm, and is the largest land proving ground in Europe. The Air Force said this was the B-52s\u2019 first live weapons drop in Sweden since the country joined NATO last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/B-52-over-Oslo.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-119358\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/B-52-over-Oslo.jpg.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/B-52-over-Oslo.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/B-52-over-Oslo.jpg.jpg?resize=768,512 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A B-52H Stratofortress, escorted by Norwegian F-35 fighters, flies low over Oslo, Norway on Friday. B-52s have made public flights alongside the air forces of Scandinavian countries this week to show support for the NATO allies. (Norwegian Armed Forces)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The B-52s and their crew are deployed to RAF Fairford in England as part of the 69th Expeditionary Bomb Squadron\u2019s Bomber Task Force 25-2 deployment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That expeditionary squadron, which contains four B-52s, air crew and other airmen needed to support the bombers, deployed from Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota in February to train alongside NATO allies and partners in the region. Viking Nebula was the 11th operation this bomber task force completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And on Friday, a B-52 that is also part of the bomber task force conducted a low pass over Oslo, Norway as part of a mission dubbed Tower Blockhouse. That B-52 was escorted by two Norwegian F-35 fighters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Air Force regularly rotates B-52s through Europe on temporary deployments \u2014 as part of bomber task forces \u2014 to deter Russian aggression and show U.S. commitment to NATO\u2019s collective defense and Europe\u2019s regional security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But this task force comes as the war in Ukraine, the largest conflict in Europe since the end of World War II, grinds into its fourth year. Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine alarmed much of Europe, and prompted Sweden to cast off its traditionally neutral stance toward conflicts and seek NATO membership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President Donald Trump has upended the U.S.\u2019 long-established support of NATO, casting doubt on the value of the longstanding alliance and publicly suggesting America may not come to the defense of NATO members he feels are not spending enough on their own defense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The bombers also flew over Sweden&#8217;s
