The US B-2 bomber flew for 37 hours non-stop to strike Iran’s nuclear sites in “Operation Midnight Hammer.” The mission was one of the longest in B-2 history. The stealth jet took off from Missouri and was refuelled in the air several times. It has beds, toilets, snacks, and a microwave, making it feel like a flying hotel. Each bomber had two pilots, with a third sometimes on standby. The B-2 dropped 14 bunker-buster bombs, hitting targets at Fordow and other sites. This was the first time the GBU-57 bomb was used in combat. The B-2 will soon be replaced by the B-21. (PC: @StevesSimStation/Youtube.com and AFP)
