The United States attacked Iranian ballistic missile facilities at several locations!
Washington, Mar 1 (EFE).-
As part of military operation Epic Fury, the United States attacked Iranian ballistic missile facilities with two B-2 bombers loaded with heavy bombs, according to a Sunday report from US Central Command.
This weekend, the bombers traveled over 20,000 kilometers (12,427 miles) round-trip from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri to strike Iranian underground facilities linked to the ballistic missile program with dozens of 2,000-pound (900-kilogram) bombs.
Both aircraft completed their mission without landing, refueling mid-flight en route to and from the Azores (Portugal), the Strait of Gibraltar, and the Mediterranean.
The mission emulated the Jun. 2025 operation, in which seven B-2s struck the main facilities of the Iranian nuclear program with precision bunker-buster bombs.
This type of mission by the US Air Force highlights the US’s force projection capability, involving a large deployment of aerial refueling tankers, electronic warfare, and transport aircraft, as well as F-22 and F-35 fighters, joined by two naval strike groups from the aircraft carriers Gerald R. Ford and Abraham Lincoln.
Amateur radio operators shared communications from one of the B-2s, PETRO41, as it contacted the control tower in Seville, Spain, en route to the US. EFE
