This topic is too serious for you. Please put your frivolous posts elsewhere.
The B-2 is the ONLY aircraft that can evade radar AND deliver the massive GBU-28 "bunker buster" bomb that is needed to take out Iran's underground uraninum enrichment sites. My hunch, that's what will happen.

I am wondering how Israel would have attacked the Iran nuclear sites when it looked like that might happen, given that they don't have the B-2. Was the plan, following our election, always for the US to do it once we had a real president back in office starting Jan. 20?
I agree that Iran is aware that an attack is being planned. This may be intentional. There will be "dummy attacks" with drones to squander Iran's defensive missiles and then after they screw the pooch, whammo!
The MOP is the biggest bunker buster we have.........and needs the B2 to deliver it. The GBU28 is only like 5000lbs. Other planes can carry it........and it's not likely to penetrate deep enough to hit underground sites.
Oops, my mistake, although I believe that no other stealth aircraft can carry the GBU28 other than the B2 and it is indeed a bunker buster.
We don't have any other stealth bombers. The B1 and B52 can certainly carry 5k. Hell I think an F15 can carry that.
The B1 isn't a stealth bomber. Looks like we're using B2s anyway.
But wouldn't repeated applications of the BB bomb (a possible new nickname for you) do the job?
According to this article, it is thought the MOP can take out both of Iran's enrichment sites that are deep underground. The B-2 can reportedly fly at 50,000 ft, so dropping from that height might penetrate deeply enough.
I didn't say it was. You said no other stealth aircraft could carry the GBU. I said we don't have any other stealth bombers other than the B2. I then stated the B1 and B52 can carry the GBU. That obviously means those two aren't stealth.The B1 isn't a stealth bomber. Looks like we're using B2s anyway.
US deploys stealth bombers to Chagos island
The United States has deployed stealth bombers to the Diego Garcia military base, in a warning to Iran and its rebel proxies.www.yahoo.com
Quite possibly. I don't know. Attacking the same target over and over does make it easier for the enemy to defend it, even with the B2.
I fully agree and I very much prefer that we don't open that can of worms. However, we cannot allow the Iranian wackos to develop nuclear weapons. It only takes 55 pounds of enriched uranium to make a nuclear bomb. That small quantity could easily be smuggled into the US and assembled into a bomb. You don't need a sophisticated delivery system. A large SUV is big enough.
