On Saturday (21), President Donald Trump announced that the United States were directly involved in the Israeli and Iran conflict, making aerial attacks on three Iranian nuclear facilities.
B-2 was one of the vehicles used to carry out bombings, with its ability to achieve strongly protected goals, such as the underground nuclear facilities of Iran.
How is the B-2 firefighter spirit
The B-2 Spirit, the United States Air Force Strategic Air Force, is appointed one of the country’s most advanced military vehicles. At an estimated cost of $ 2.1 billion per unit, B-2 is the most expensive military plan ever.

Made by Northrop Grumman, the development of the plane began in the late 1980’s during the Cold War. It was affected by the fall of the Soviet Union, which changed the plans of the Pentagon, leading to the manufacture of only 21 units.
Equipped with state-of-the-art technology, B-2 is designed to be practically invisible even to the most sophisticated air defense systems. Its furtive resources, combined with the ability to fly long distances without supply, make it one of the main assets of the United States.
The bomber can travel more than 11,000 km, able to carry out world missions, as already shown in operations from the United States to Afghanistan and Libya in recent decades.
With a capacity to carry up to 18 tons of weapons, B-2 can launch both conventional and nuclear weapons.
One of his most notable weapons is the GBU-57A/B bombs, known as “Bunker Buster”. Each pump weighs 13 tons and is designed to penetrate more than 60 meters of reinforced concrete, destroying fortified structures such as bunkers and underground installations. The bombs are guided by the GPS, ensuring the accuracy of the target.
In addition to the “BUNKER BUSTER”: Other B-2 spirit weapons
In addition to the GBU-57A/B bombs, B-2 Spirit:
- JDAMs (joint direct attack municipalities), which are GPS guided bombs for high precision attacks;
- JSows (StandFF joint weapons), which plan bombs for long -term attacks, without compromising aircraft theft;
- Jassms (Stop Missiles on the joint surface), which are long -range missiles capable of reaching more than 800 km goals with poaching technology.
