Doesn’t say it is a training exercise. Says it is a deployment.
The B-2s are not the threat, per se. It’s the ordinance they can carry.
It’s only about 3600 miles in the air to Tehran from Diego Garcia. Don’t even need to refuel on on the way there, just the return, depending on payload.
It is great having Adults in charge.
*resident Bidet let the houthis attack us near daily with essentially no return fire. Pussy.
Make their stone aged rubble dance, dammit.
Diego Garcia is actually a British Overseas Teritory not an unsinkable Amercian Carrier, just to be pedantic :)
I remember Diego Garcia well, movies on the beach and formaldehyde beer. After that I spent the next 63 days submerged in and around the Straight of Hormuz. April 1980, we took part in Operation Eagle Claw, the failed attempt to rescue American hostages from Iran.
There is definitely something big in the works.
Our adversaries need not fear. IIRC the entire place will be under water real soon,or may flip over if too much weight is added. Hank? Hank, you out there?
What ever happened with the UK giving away Diego Garcia?
Why do we keep telling our enemies where our most sophisticated
stealth bombers are located in mass. Somebody just might take the fu@king island out. Geeezzz shut the hell up, already .
Idiot writers!

Right now Diego Garcia would be a lucrative target if Red China wanted to cripple the US’s strategic bombing capabilities.
