U.S. Air Force, Navy build inert mines for BALTOPS 15

Airman 1st Class Jesse Johnson, 5th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron weapons load crew member, waits for Staff Sgt. Jason Walters, 5th AMXS weapons load crew chief, to strap down an inert MK-62 Quick Strike Mine to an MJ-1 lift truck at Royal Air Force Fairford, England, June 11, 2015. The B-52H Stratfortress was one of two which used the inert mines in the BALTOPS 15 exercise, testing their ability to precisely drop munitions into a target zone off the coast of Sweden. Three B-52s were forward deployed to RAF Fairford from Minot Air Force Base, N.D., to participate in multi-national exercises, train with the United States’ allies and partners and showcase the aircraft’s capabilities.
