Yeah I dont understand why Israel did not think of that in advance. They could have asked the US to have one of their B-2 bombers in order to have our bunker bomb we would have probably given it to them or is it something that only WE can fly

Right now, it is something that only we can fly. My son went through USAF undergraduate pilot training. When he finished, they didn’t just point him at his aircraft, and say, go fly it. He underwent intensive training in that aircraft, before he was allowed to fly it on his own. The B-2 is a lot more difficult to fly, than his aircraft. It takes many months of intensive training to be able to fly the B-2. Israeli pilots are good, but they are not going to climb into the cockpit of a B-2, and fly it away.
