Assuming it was a test munition with no warhead, why bring it to TTR/Sandia ranges to test drop it? I know the Luftwaffe does live fire training in Sweden. Couldn't they test drop a B61-12 over there and see if its guidance system worked? I'm just trying to think through whether there is something mechanically different about the B61-12 that requires some kind of specialized telemetry that is worth a trip across the pond. Or, if not, whether they actually brought a live warhead with them and had the team at NNSS give it a once over. Thoughts?
