Thxs for the article link Seminole Red, that is the most extensive I've ever read on the military shuttle that never get's any press. I didn't know that it had weapons, but it stands to reason that it would.
I posted on it to EZ2 some time ago as well: #msg-132977818

Correct Seminole Red, they did. SpaceX Rocket Launches X-37B Space Plane on Secret Mission, Aces Landing

Exactly what the X-37B did during those four missions, or what it will do during the newly launched OTV-5, is a mystery; most X-37B payloads and activities are classified. This secrecy has spawned some speculation that the vehicle may be a space weapon of some sort. But the Air Force has vigorously denied this idea, stressing that the space plane is just testing technologies for future spacecraft and hauling experiments to orbit.
