On Sunday the Pentagon revealed new details of its secret "Operation Midnight Hammer" attack on Iran's nuclear sites:
The Pentagon says at 2:10 a.m. local time, the lead B-2 bomber dropped 2 GBU-57 bunker buster bombs on the first aim point at Fordo. 14 total massive ordinance penetrators were dropped on Iranian targets, followed by Tomahawk missiles. It was the largest B-2 operational strike in U.S. history. 75 precision guided weapons were used during the operation. More than 125 U.S. military aircraft took part in the mission. The Pentagon says it deployed several deception tactics over Iran as it moved to strike nuclear facilities. The U.S. is unaware of any shots fired by Iran at U.S. warplanes on their way into Iran's airspace. Iran's surface-to-air systems did not see the U.S. planes throughout the mission. The initial assessment indicates all three nuclear sites sustained extreme damage and destruction.

In short? The B-2s worked as advertised.
I was told it was 6 B2s and 12 MOPs. Now they are saying 14 and therefore 7 B2s? So which is it. Were they lying then or is the Pentagon lying now? Can Trump never tell us the truth? Nixon lied and resigned before he was impeached. Trump should do the same before AOC makes good on her threat.
Navy has to congratulate Air Force, here!
You bring great discredit to your screen name.
6 B2s for deepest site, extra B2 for one of the other 2, along with parcel of Tomahawks for both others. 2MOP from each B2.
This operation was a piece of art.
Perfection.
Trump has made America respected again on the global stage.
Well done.
Just repeating the pentagone briefing of this morning facts without opinion are refreshing though aren’t they?
I am channeling my inner disreputable democrat. No serious person could seriously believe I think AOC is serious about anything that is serious.
They plan to buzz Ottawa, Copenhagen and Greenland with it regularly.
Watch this morning’s briefing and get back to us. They said 7 B-2s and never changed that.
Don’t know where you are getting your info but straight from the source and unfiltered is best. Try that. Deal with facts from reliable sources and not early wild speculation and don’t try to bend the truth to stir up trouble either.
Have a nice day.
He just trying to stir things up.
Who cares if they used 12, 14 or 20.
I hope Boeing is rapidly building more we may need them.
Problem is Iran don’t wont peace.
BO gave what 150B of the US Money. How well did that do.
/S was so blatant that I can’t believe I had to type it to you.
Are you an actual jerk or do you just play one on Free Republic? Lol
Andy is spoofing us with historic sarcasm rolled in modern Muslim symp Democrat Broads.
Actually I am just getting ahead of the stupidity of the permanent left. As someone else said, who cares of it was two of them or all of them. And as an ex-submariner this really hurts, but I have to congratulate the Air Force on a first rate professional job. That they can plan and execute something like that should scare everyone. Hell, it scares me.
Can they hit Davos along the way?
No extra charge!
Probably a lot of really interesting contingency plans that didn’t need to happen because Plan A was a complete success.
I would have preferred to see the individual and collective ayatollahs sent to their virgins at the same time the hills were made to bounce, but I have been waiting for that since '79.
