The plane that bombed Iran: First Used in Kosovo War

This aircraft flew for the first time in 1989, and was used for the first time in combat in 1999 during the Kosovo War, within the framework of NATO's Operation Allied Force, conducting non-stop flights from its base to Missouri to hit Serbian targets.

B-2 Spirit is equipped with four engines, can carry nuclear or conventional weapons, and is operated by a crew of two. It has a capacity of 18,000 pounds [18,000 kg] and can fly for long distances thanks to the possibility of fuel supplies in the air.

This bomber has been used in other important missions, such as the attacks on Afghanistan in 2001 and finally in Yemen from the base in Diego Garcia. In the U.S. fleet, there are only 20 aircraft of this kind, located at Whiteman Air Base in Missouri, and each cost about $2 billion.

The use of B-2 in Iran's attacks shows the strategic importance of this plane in modern military operations and its power to hit important high precision targets./Periscopi/
