Six B-2 stealth bombers headed to Guam from their US base

Flight tracking data indicated that six B-2 stealth bombers took flight from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri. They look like they’re enroute to Guam. These aircraft are capable of carrying the bunker buster bombs that could potentially “do a number” on Iran’s Fordow nuclear site. Art of the deal? Whether this is a routine exercise or a part of a bigger plan, President Donald Trump recently provided a two-week timeline for an Iran decision.

From Fox News:

Six B-2 stealth bombers from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri appear to be en route to a U.S. Air Force base in Guam, according to flight tracking data and voice communications with air traffic control.

The bombers apparently refueled after launching from Missouri, suggesting they launched without full fuel tanks due to a heavy onboard payload, which could be bunker-buster bombs.

The B-2 can carry two 15-ton bunker-buster bombs–which only the U.S. possesses. Experts say the bombs could be critical to targeting Iran’s most heavily fortified nuclear site: Fordow.

Mark Dubowitz, CEO of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told Fox News Digital that “destroying [Fordow] from the air is a job only the U.S. can do.”

According to Jonathan Ruhe, Director of Foreign Policy for JINSA, the bunker-busters are designed to use the force of gravity to “penetrate through any mixture of earth, rock, and concrete before the bomb itself then explodes” underground. The explosion that ensues could take out the target fully or “collapse the structure” around the target “without necessarily obliterating it,” he explained.
