Stealth Bomber B-2 Spirit has recently performed one of the longest and most complex missions in military airline history.
blueThe aircraft of the aircraft departed from the White Man Air Force Base in Missouri and flew for 37 hours in a row, reaching the target of Iran’s Forth Nuclear Agricultural Facilities. The round -trip flight required several air refueling, fighter flights and escort support, and operations were carried out based on minimal communication and absolute precision.
Designed to penetrate the enemy’s air defense network, the B-2 Spirit is one of the most advanced aircrafts. The stealth technology is rarely detected by the radar as a small bird like sparrow, and the ability is enhanced with a flying wing design, a tail -free structure, and a curved surface that scatters electromagnetic waves.
For a long time, the B-2 is equipped with amenities in fighters. The pilot can use the toilet, microwave, and refrigerator for storing food, and there is a space for one person to rest. This is due to the high automation level and the design that can be operated by only two crew members.
One B-2 can be equipped with up to 80 tons of weapons, and can operate a powerful GBU-57 ‘bunkerbuster’ bomb that penetrates several tens of meters of concrete.
The B-2, which is operating only 19 units worldwide, and the price of more than $ 2 billion per unit, plans to operate at least by 2058 as the core of the US Air Force Strategic Aerospace.
The operation was carried out with six bombers and once again proved that the B-2 was one of the most sophisticated and deadly attack platforms.
