Operated by the U.S. Air Force, the B-1 Lancer, a supersonic-capable heavy bomber, stealthier than the B-52 but less so than the B-2 Spirit, has intercontinental range through air refueling. "Lancer" is rarely used; the informal name is the "Bone" (B-ONE). Under arms control agreements, it is not equipped to carry nuclear arms.
