So long as they inscribe the names of my brothers killed by the Iranian savages during the long war, I have no issue with them being dropped.

The B-2's are airborne from Whiteman. Tankers are dragging them across the pond now. The timing makes sense. Sundown in Iran tomorrow is around noon central time.
Goodness people, B-2s don’t need refueled to go from Missouri to the Middle East or Russia. They get refueled to come home or to stay in the air for extended time frames in Stealth so they don’t know where they are or when they take off. They have a range of like 6,000 miles. They can bring extra crew with them to fly for 30+ hours.

Jbird I'm beginning to think you playing too much War Thunder.

They left last month. Replaced with B-52's.

Well that’s 7100+ miles. Like I said it has a 6,000 mile plus range.
Start showing some links it cant? Please help us with your vast knowledge. You really think the exact range is well known fact?
We could easily launch Kc-135s from numerous bases in Florida, North Carolina, Italy, UK, etc to link up with B-2s that take off and meet well on the way to Iran. Why do you think this is a difficult concept?
We aren’t talking about a carrier fleet. A handful of B-2s launching a bombing run is closer to child’s play and practiced routinely.

Exactly my point the B2 is not going to leave Missouri fly to Iran and perform a combat mission without at least 3 refueling missions. To get there. Three to rtb.

Iran letting Hamas launch the 10/7 attack was a major frick up. That was the first domino that led to Syria and Hezbollah falling and the Houthis getting the shite kicked out of them by Israel and the US. Now Iran has lost their proxies and Israel is on a complete war footing. It may well be the end of the Islamic government of Iran. All because of Hamas.

Destroying it in place like that does not present as near the radiation hazard as an actual nuclear explosion.

I think the B2 flew from whireman to diego, refueled there and then onto Afghanistan. If they don't want to stop i would assume 4 in air refuelings to get from whiteman to iran. Maybe more if they are carrying a 28k lb bomb?
Posted on 6/16/25 at 8:49 pm to tigafan4life
They will refuel pre and post strike even from Diego.

Let the Israelis finish the decapitation if the regime. We don’t need US boots on the ground for that.
What happens if China decides to help their friend Iran, they're pretty close now with that huge oil deal.

Where are the Chinese going to help from?
A rusty fake aircraft carrier?

They could and that would change the calculus, but the Chicoms getting involved when it gets kinetic is not really their MO.
