In a major escalation of its air campaign against Iran, the United States just deployed the supersonic B-1 Lancer in a high-profile strike that analysts say signals a decisive shift in air superiority.
According to a report published on MSN, U.S. Central Command confirmed that B-1 bombers struck deep inside Iranian territory, targeting ballistic missile facilities and command infrastructure.
The announcement was accompanied by a 45-second video released on X by United States Central Command, showing the bombers lifting off under the cover of darkness. The message read bluntly:
“Last night, B-1 bombers struck deep into Iranian territory, neutralizing its ballistic missile capabilities. As the President stated, 'we're going to destroy their missiles and raze their missile industry to the ground.'"

Just wait until they start hitting personnel concentrations.
Here comes da Bone!
Go Man!
Blow some ( ) up!
Waiting for MOAB.
Reports are BUFF is soon to follow, even on its way. That makes for a VERY VERY bad day for the IRGC
“That makes for a VERY VERY bad day for the IRGC.”
My idea of a bad day for the IRGC and Basij is to see them being dragged out to the street by enraged Iranians and then slaughtered mercilessly.
Of course, we can also add the clerics as well.
Saw a video of one of those doing a LOW flyby of a Navy ship after the mission. Crew member put up the video, said it was sent to do a flyby to “fire them up” or similar words. Looked like something Batman would fly in.
It’s the most beautiful aircraft in the world.
B-52 Bombers have been deployed as well.
The Big Boys.
So, grandpa buff is getting in on this? Cool.

Saw one shooting touch-and-go’s at Cannon AFB back in the day. It looked like one of our Aardvarks had a thyroid problem.
If wiki is to be believed the BONE carries a slightly heavier payload than the BUFF.
The B1 is the big boy.
It carries more payload than any other.
A lot is changing. Air Dominance is just about achieved. Large scale aerial bombardment is coming soon. Starmer caved, allowing heavy bombers to operate from Diego Garcia. Forecast is cloudy, with a chance of JDAMs.
Iranian Ballistic Missile and Drone launches are down a large factor, less that 25% of day 1 and declining. This probably indicates targeting launchers and storage has been very effective. If this trend continues, Iran is screwed.
Iraqi Kurds have invaded Iran near Marivan. This will force the Iranian army to move forces to oppose the invasion, and I expect those forces will be crushed by US and Israeli air power. The headquarters of the IRGC in Marivan was targeted today. Probably not a coincidence. Of course, our history of leaving Kurds hanging is pretty bad...
Speaking of big dogs, the B52s are also slamming Iran now. The BUFFS don't play, they bring long-awaited justice to the bloodthirsty Iranian Muslims who have killed so many of our people for decades.
A MOAB is to clear a landing site for troops.
I’d strongly prefer there never be a reason to drop one.
That must be what I saw reported on TV and I didn’t understand - bombers from two different US bases and the # of flying hours there and back...One base was a surprise to me but the others were the usual from Whiteman AFB in MO...Someone will tell me where the others came from, I’m sure. Hope so anyway. Maybe some from one of the Dakotas?
Oh I heartily agree. The Lancers are gorgeous...deadly, but gorgeous.
Starting with my X algorithm. Instead of fake AI videos of Tel Aviv on fire and the USS Abraham Lincoln sinking, it's now mostly the same libtards crying about mass bombardment of Tehran and the crime of sinking ships in "international water" (is if this was a safe space).
That's how I know Iran is losing.
“”So, grandpa buff is getting in on this? Cool.””
Are you sure it’s not GREAT GRANDPA? I’m surprised they’re still flying. They used to be out at March AFB but even March is something else now..reserves?
