News Topical, Digital Desk : After destroying three nuclear sites in Iran, America's B-2 stealth bombers have returned to the airbase. On June 21, these B-2 bombers took off from America's Whiteman Air Force Base. This entire operation was carried out after a journey of about 37 hours.
125 planes were used in the operation
125 planes were used to carry out this entire operation, the most important of which were B-2 stealth bombers. 14 GBU-57 bombs weighing 30 thousand pounds were dropped on Iran's Fordo, Isfahan and Natanz nuclear sites. Three nuclear sites of Iran were destroyed.
B-2 stealth bombers also involved in the operation
Dan Kaine, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the US Army used about 75 precision-guided weapons during the operation. This included, as President Trump said last night, the 30,000-pound GBU-57 large ordnance penetrator, the first operational use of this weapon. I know the damage is huge. But it will take some time to know the final damage. But initial assessments indicate that all three sites suffered extremely severe damage and destruction. More than 125 US aircraft took part in the mission, including B-2 stealth bombers.
The attack was carried out in Iran on Saturday evening
How did the US Army execute Operation Midnight Hammer? On Saturday, June 21, at Zero One Hour, B-2 bombers took off from the Whiteman Airbase in the US. When the bombers took off, they were fueled. This balanced the weight of the bomb. Arrangements were made to refuel the B-2 bombers in the air. After this, CENTCOM support joined the B-2 bombers at 5 pm on June 21. At 6 pm, the B-2 bombers and support entered Iran. The attack was carried out from 6:40 pm to 7 pm.
B-2 bombers were refueled in the air
After this, at 7:30 pm, all the US aircraft including the B-2 bombers left the Iranian airspace. During the return also, the B-2 bombers were refueled in the air. The B-2 bombers completed the mission and reached their airbase on 22 June.
Know what Vice President JD Vance said?
After the attack on the nuclear site in Iran, a big statement by US Vice President JD Vance has come out. JD Vance said that after these attacks, it will take many years for Iran to develop nuclear weapons. The US attacks have given Tehran a new opportunity to negotiate with Washington. Along with this, he said that this attack has created an environment to reset relations. The US did not end diplomacy with its attack on the Iranian nuclear site. This is an opportunity for the Iranians to take a sensible path. Also, JD Vance has expressed hope that Iran will definitely do so.
