There was once a plan to not only upgrade the B-1B for an extended lifespan, but to make it so much more than it is today. That proposal, dubbed the B-1R, would have equipped the Lancer with powerful new engines ripped straight out of the F-22 Raptor and it’s own bevy of AIM-120 AMRAAM air-to-air missiles, nearly doubling its top speed while giving this massive jet the means to hunt for and destroy any enemy fighter that flew its way.
