Bed, Toilet, Microwave Oven: B-2 Bomber Is A Flying Hotel Armed With Bombs

 Now, US President Donald Trump says a regime change in Tehran will "Make Iran Great Again"; however, his ministers have said 'Operation Midnight Hammer' was not aimed at a regime change.

American air powerhas been deployed several times to "establish democracy" and fight terrorism in the Middle East. In 1990, when Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, the US launched Operation Desert Storm to fight the Iraqi forces. 

The air-land operation ended on February 28, 1991, but a day before the ceasefire, a bunker-buster bomb of the same class as GBU-57 was dropped from the air and is often credited with ending the first Gulf War.

B-2 Spirit is a fifth-generation stealth bomber that first flew in 1989 and was operationally deployed for the first time in 1999 during the Kosovo War. It follows the legacy of aircraft that are tasked to fly long-range missions for reconnaissance and strategic bombing. B-2 is different from its predecessors, like the B-1 Lancer, B-52 Stratofortress, F-117 Nighthawks, etc. 

The B-2 Spirit has bunks, microwave ovens, and a storage rack full of snacks. Food on board includes candy bars, cereal, sandwiches, milk and beverages, and toilets for the crew to rest during their long-range mission.

B-2 usually has a crew of two pilots who fly the aircraft. During Operation Midnight Hammer, the two pilots were fed, had all the amenities to conduct a mission that lasted for 37 hours. Sometimes there's a third pilot on standby on the aircraft who rotates with one of the pilots.

The B-2 bomber will be replaced by the B-21 Raider (image below), the world's first true sixth-generation aircraft manufactured by Northrop Grumman.
