EU Bomber Speculation?
Again, old news. EADS was quoted as saying that if an airbus design
was selected to be converted over to a heavy bomber akin to the B-52
Stratofortress that its own EFW facility (former Junkers) would
perform the German conversions. The company is currently converting
former Airbus aircraft into cargo carriers and tankers for the
Luftwaffe.
EADS also mentioned using conventional transport aircraft and future
A400M to drop palletized cruise missile launchers.
