Is the AGM-129 really being retired?

The "Operational History" section currently says "In March 2007... the USAF announced that it will retire its entire inventory of AGM-129 missiles." It cites a 2007-09-05 source. Later another 2007 source is cited. The USAF fact sheet page, http://www.af.mil/information/factsheets/factsheet.asp?fsID=3548 , currently says "The ACM is anticipated to remain in service until 2030." This page is dated 5/24/2010. I am not an expert on the AGM-129 or the best sources of USAF inventory sources. (I am merely a person who likes planes and missiles... a lot. :) Nevertheless, it seems like af.mil with a recent date is a good source for this sort of fact. Does anybody have any thoughts? Should we update this page?

Russian wikipedia has this link: http://www.tinker.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123299303

seems they were retied and destroyed more than a year ago. Why doesn't the English page contain this info?5.102.215.187 (talk) 14:07, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The AGM-129 can also be carried on the B-2 Spirit Bomber

According to Military factory, the B-2 Spirit bomber can carry 16 AGM-129 ACMs, which would mean that they can be carried on platforms other than the B-52 Stratofortress, and that the part of the page that says that the AGM-129 is "exclusively" carried on the B-52 is incorrect. ^[1] 107.12.192.66 (talk) 17:18, 30 April 2016 (UTC)Anonymous[reply]
