    The image shows an overhead/top-down view into what appears to be a military aircraft bomb bay, revealing multiple munitions mounted on internal racks along with extensive wiring, hydraulic lines, and mechanical hardware. Several large cylindrical ordnance items are visible, secured by mounting hardware and surrounded by color-coded cables and conduits. The interior structure shows riveted aluminum panels typical of military aircraft construction.

    A U.S. B-52 Bomber sits on a flightline with munitions loaded on a newly installed conventional rotary launcher in its bomb bay, at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar, Nov. 17, 2017. The CRL will allow the B-52 to carry more smart bombs . The CRL upgrade was used in support of a new offensive campaign in Afghanistan Nov. 19, 2017. Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF) and United States Forces-Afghanistan (USFOR-A) launched a series of ongoing attacks to hit the Taliban where they are most vulnerable: their revenue streams. Together, Afghan and U.S. forces conducted combined operations to strike drug labs and command-and-control nodes in northern Helmand province. These types of strikes represent the highest level of trust and cooperation between ANDSF and USFOR-A. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Staff Sgt. Patrick Evenson)
