The U.S. Has Now Joined the Ongoing War Between Israel and Iran
The United States has now entered the ongoing war between Israel and Iran. In this attack, the U.S. deployed B-2 stealth bombers, which are capable of targeting deeply hidden facilities. Here, we explain what B-2 stealth bombers are.
The B-2 stealth bomber is a unique weapon in the U.S. Air Force and has been the backbone of American stealth technology for three decades.
Since its first flight in 1989, this aircraft has been one of the longest-operating bombers in the world. The B-2 stealth bomber has an incredible ability to penetrate enemy air defenses. It was developed by a company called Northrop Grumman.
What makes the B-2 stealth bomber special is that it is extremely difficult to track. It can also fly at very high altitudes, making it even harder for air defense systems to intercept.
The B-2 can strike enemy targets with pinpoint accuracy. It is designed using advanced engineering techniques that make it nearly invisible to conventional radar systems. Due to its unique structure, flying wing design, and extremely low infrared signature, it produces a radar cross-section of just 0.001 square meters equivalent to that of a small bird. This is why, when it comes to entering enemy territory and striking key targets with high precision, no other aircraft compares to the B-2 stealth bomber. It can fly at a speed of 6,000 nautical miles and is capable of carrying heavy weapons.
Israel had launched attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities, but since these facilities are underground, the Israeli strikes didn’t t cause significant damage. Israel does not possess weapons capable of destroying deeply buried structures. This is where the U.S. stepped in. The United States used one of its most advanced weapons , the B-2 stealth bomber, armed with 30,000-pound Massive Ordnance Penetrators (MOPs) or bunker-buster bombs, which can cause massive destruction even underground. These bunker buster bombs were used specifically to destroy the underground nuclear infrastructure in Fordow.
