The long-range bombers of the United States, B‑2 Spirit, B‑1 Lancer, and B‑52 Stratofortress, are participating in combat operations simultaneously for the first time in history.
Modern.az reports that "The Wall Street Journal" has disseminated information regarding this.
It was noted that when the US brings its entire bomber family onto the stage, it is clear that the situation will indeed be dramatic.
US bombers have already struck over 200 targets in Iran, including around Tehran. B‑2s are dropping 2,000-pound penetrating bombs against underground missile bunkers, and even larger, 30,000-pound GBU‑57 bunker-buster bombs are still waiting in reserve – the same bombs that hit Iran's nuclear facilities during “Operation Midnight Hammer”.
B‑1s do not attempt to hide with camouflage – they simply appear swiftly and ferociously, capable of carrying 75,000 pounds of ordnance or 24 cruise missiles. These are the same platforms that the US used to disable Venezuelan air defense systems.
The B‑52, meanwhile, still possesses destructive power as it did until 1968. They can drop bombs, detect ships, and remain over targets for extended periods.
When these three bombers are together, almost continuous strikes are carried out against Iran's missile depots, launch facilities, silo system, and other infrastructure that enables it to continue its attacks.
