      Oof, telling everyone your strike package is a massive ordnance penetrator is just so insecure

    The world didn’t know at all…

    Except for all of the reports that a bunch of B2 bombers were taking off from the US and were spotted heading for the middle east all over the news.

      And all the news articles saying “only the US has bombs capable of penetrating deep enough to hit those facilities, and only the US has bombers designed to carry those (very heavy) bombs”.

      Yep complete shock to all.

    First we were shocked. Then we went aww…

    The military establishment is really enjoying their moment in the spotlight, aren’t they? Look what they can do, wow. Great that there was no questioning the rational of making the world stage even worse. Good job, everyone.

    reveals

    There is definitely no way the US military would manufacture and present information in a particular way to further their own goals, they do not “say” things and they certainly never make “claims,” they only “reveal” the truth to us

    The B-2 has a crew of two. 18h one way. 36h total mission duration. Do they have sleeping schedules, or do they get drugs?
