New Delhi. The world’s most powerful military strength is a bomber which is a mystery in itself – not only its flight, but its presence is often hidden from the world. The name is B-2 Spirit, also known as Stealth Bomber. This is the weapon that the US has not sold to any other country so far and which is so high that even America has not been able to make it in the desired number. There is a discussion between reports of tension between Iran and Israel that America can jump into this struggle. If this happens, the US’s first choice will be the B-2 Spirit Bomber, which can destroy bases such as Ayatollah Khamenei’s bunker and Fordo nuclear site built hundreds of feet below the enemy’s ground.
America’s ‘strike base’ near India
According to the information, the US has deployed its bombers in Diego Garcia. This base is in the Indian Ocean and technically under Britain. The distance from here to Iran is about 5267 km. This is the reason that the US has already sent four B-52 bombers on this base. Donald Trump had said during his tenure that if Iran did not kneel, then there will be such bombing that no one would have seen till date. Now when the situation is seen to be deteriorating again, America’s attention can go towards its same ‘secret weapon’-B-2 Spirit.

Why B-2 is so special?
B-2 bomber has been designed by Northrop Gramman Company. Its biggest weapon is its design. It is a flying wing -like bomber – no tail, nor mango aircraft structure. Its texture is such that even the radar cannot catch it. This is why it is called ‘Stealth Bomber’. Its work is very clear – fly away, enter the enemy’s area, make a surefire attack on the target and return. Its ability to avoid radar makes it extremely dangerous.
Technical strength
B-2 Spirit is not just unique in appearance, its technical figures are also shocking. Its length is 69 feet, while the wings are up to 172 feet. This bomber can carry weapons up to 80,000 pounds. Its flight range is about 11,000 kilometers, and if the air is fuel, it can fly up to 19,000 kilometers. Its speed is also not low – Mack 0.95, ie slightly less than the speed of sound. Even more special is that it has the ability to carry and drop nuclear weapons. That is, it is not only of traditional bombs, but also an important part of the nuclear Arsenal of America.
GBU-57: The bomb that explodes under the ground
Iran’s Fordo Nuclear Facility and Supreme Leader’s whereabouts are several hundred feet below the ground. Traditional bombs on them cannot be effective. In such a situation, America’s GBU-57 bomb, called “Masiv Ordnance Penitrator” (MOP). This bomb can penetrate the ground to about 60 meters depth and then explode. But it is necessary to stain it.
Usa officially joined the war!

Will be shocked to hear B-2 expenses
B-2 bomber is the most expensive bomber in the world. The cost of a bomber is around $ 1 billion $ 8600 crore. Not only in buying, it costs a huge expenditure on blowing it, maintaining it and keeping it in the hangar. It is estimated that the expenditure on a B-2 can go up to $ 2 billion. No common technician can do its servicing – especially trained engineers and special hangers are made for this. This is the reason that the US plan was that 132 B-2 bombers would be built, but the cost came out so much that only 21 could be made. Today, only 20 are in operation, because a bomber is lost in an accident.
Nobody has this strength in the world
The special thing about B-2 Spirit is that America has not sold it to any country till date. Neither NATO countries, nor their closest colleagues. It is a strategic weapon for America, which is used only in special circumstances. Its technique is so sensitive that its flight information, mission details and base locations are often kept secret.
Will it be used against Iran?
In the current situation, if the US decides any military action against Iran, B-2 Spirit can play an important character. Especially if targets are places inside the ground and which is impossible to eliminate with traditional bombs. B-2 Spirit has the ability to attack quietly, infallible and depth. This is the reason why this bomber becomes the first choice of America in any military operation. Calling B-2 Spirit just a bomber will have to be less and less. It is a symbol of America’s military strategy, its technical lead and global dominance. Every flight, every mission, every operation is the message of America’s intentions. Perhaps this is the reason why even today when America talks about taking a tough step, B-2 is first discussed-a bomber that may not be possible to see, but no one can live without feeling the effect.
