B-1 stand-off weapons and payload

Stand-off missiles and a quoted payload of 23 tons support the proposed British B-1's strike role, without establishing a particular weapon fit.

What missiles could the proposed British B-1 force carry?

Short answer

Various stand-off missiles and about 23 tons of carrying capacity are suggested, without confirming a specific weapon.

Notes

Various stand-off missiles are envisaged for the hypothetical British B-1 force, without confirmation of the particular weapon suggested in the question. A payload of about 23 tons is quoted to support the view that the aircraft has substantial carrying capacity. The proposal remains a broad force-design sketch. No detailed weapon fit is established.
