The B-2 is going in when the SAM sites are still active to get rid of same. An F15 or F18 can’t do that with impunity. A stealth aircraft can. F117’s could have been used if we still had them in the inventory AND they had a base to fly from. But - we retired them so the only stealth bomber we have is the B2.

Aircraft shelters don’t move, right?

Is using a B-2 cheaper than cruise missiles or are we running low on the Tomahawks already?
