But FWIW I would not want to be hauling one of those giant arse bombs in a plane that had not been "operationally safe tested".

For sure. But the bone can carry way more payload than the B2. It can carry something like 75k lbs internally and another 50k externally.

I'm sure the air force will eventually certify the B1 to drop the GBU57. Seems they just wanted to put it on the B2 because of the stealth componnent. The B1 can carry the most payload of any bomber in the fleet.

ive seen some people suggest that iran might be holding back its hypersonic missiles to target our carrier fleets

that does not seem like the greatest idea on their part

Not one single nation has a true hypersonic missile which is operational. All ballistic missiles are hypersonic because of gravity.

Is Japan the last nation to sink a US carrier? I have to think yes. Did not end well for Japan. Would expect a similar ending if Iran totally loses it mind.

If Iran fired upon an American carrier it would be the end of Iran

Another quiet night. Maybe they've reached kind of a stalemate pending US kinetic involvement.

My guess is there's been a bit of a de-escalation while some backdoor talks are going on behind the scenes.

Israel set a nuke back 3-5 years and will do so again in 3-5 years.

Or Iran doesn’t have the weapons most think they do. They are all talk over there.

The U.S. State Department said Wednesday it had "no announcement about assisting private U.S. citizens to depart at this time," after the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem said it was working on dispatching evacuation flights and cruise ships for American citizens who wish to leave Israel amid the country's ongoing conflict with Iran.


Estimates seem to put number of Americans in Israel at around 600,000 prior to October 7 attacks.

We have satellite based cold fusion laser weapons for decades, but they are not used for shite like this. Often when u hear we used a drone to terminate some terrorist or something it’s this system really.

It would take 4 or 5 hits to knock it out. But it would still help if they hit it with their bunker busters first to create a crack the mountain first which could drop the times we need to hit it.

We have cold fusion tech but we're not using it for energy dominance

Makes perfect sense

They are close ally of Russia and likely patterns their behavior after them. A heavy dose of bullshite sprinkled over corruption and incompetence.
