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.

“Diplomacy without weapons is like music without instruments.”
Stealth aircraft can only be tracked by air traffic control if they do not disable civilian ATC transponders and ADS-B. I am reasonably certain they can safely fly in civilian airspace stealthily.
They want to be seen.
“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.”
I am trying to figure out the logic behind that thought? It would be extremely impractical and I’m pretty sure they would only load these on a bomber during the final leg and delivery of a mission? Wouldn’t they transport and stage these before hand waiting for the bombers to arrive and then load them on the Bombers for final delivery?
What Sumy doink?
How quickly your trollink shifted from your Little Zee and his pathetic AFU...
Not too eager that they won’t run and hide, though, are they? (this means you, ayatolloh)
I was working in central Missouri during the run up to Iraq. One morning about dawn I am driving past Whiteman and I see them take off in the mist. I yelled and shook my fist but did not post about it.
It’s my understanding that these fly all way to the drop zone from Missouri and back without landing. Landing someone enroute is too dangerous in terms of being detected and/or attacked. So the only location to load up the bombs is in Missouri.
its intentional.
maybe they are going to Istanbul... not Iran...
ROFL...
Looks like Bernie more than the Supreme Nut Job.
Lol!
Thank you for sharing that. But it seems they are going to stop in Guam? I wonder what Frequency they are using that 3rd parties are monitoring to get these transmissions and information? Would they even be using unencrypted comms?
The president needs options. It can’t be all nuclear war or nothing.
As for Iran, it should’ve taken Trump’s deal.
Simple. We drop Turkey on Iran.
