US B-2 stealth bombers flew 13,000km from Missouri to Iran, air-refuelled en route, to deploy GBU-57 \u201cMassive Ordnance Penetrator\u201d bombs \u2013 the heaviest conventional weapons (13,600kg) in America\u2019s arsenal.<\/p>\n
Designed to pierce 60m of concrete\/rock before detonating their 2,400kg warheads, these bunker-busters target underground facilities like Fordow\u2019s enrichment plant.<\/p>\n
The B-2\u2019s radar-evading stealth allows it to penetrate defended airspace undetected, though each bomber carries just two MOPs due to their size.<\/p>\n
With global strike capability in hours, this mission demonstrates the US\u2019s unique capacity to hit hardened nuclear sites that evade Israeli missiles.<\/p>\n
The operation highlights escalating technical warfare as Iran deepens its fortified installations.<\/p>\n
