What a journey! Missouri to Guam 12,000km, to Oz 3000, to Diego Garcia 6000, to Yemen 4000= 25,000 at 1010km/hour for B2. That's 25 hours for B2 with two pilots, one way. Join the air force and travel the world..

Wouldn't it be easier to locate the B2 bombers in Israel?
Yemen would then be only 1,800 km away.

Maybe Israel in NATO instead of Ukraine?

What?

Why Missouri as the starting point?

Bobby, why would you put long range bombers within enemy's striking range? As for putting B2s in 404 even Zelensky in his cocaine fantasies didn't dream that dream.

They forward deploy them fairly often. Not every B2 lives in Missouri all the time. Guam quite often because of NK or China games. It wouldn't make sense that they would station them all in one place permanently, no flexibility, even though it may be their "home" base.

FOBs are everywhere - to my personal knowledge Tindal has has revetments for B-52s and supplies since the 1980's... now B-2s and B-1s is hardly a stretch.

Just a step or two to the north from there. Almost there and back without refuelling, to Beijing, for a B2.. one refuel each way for a B1 - but they'd fuel up out of Okinawa or Guam along the way.... Diego Garcia for the ME ... Iran.... refuel on the way in - go in with full tanks.... fall back out of range of TacAir from China or Iran.

Closer to the mainland the better - unless they want to redo 7/12/1941.... on this day of infamy....

Funny thing about Iran - its honchos want to be the big boy in the ME - ruling over the Arabs - their ancient enemies..... only the radicals like His Bollocks and Ham Ass are online with that... the Arab nations generally are against the idea ... someone said elsewhere that Iran controlled Iraq now... can't see it, but worth a look. I'm not up on that one.... can't even budget to service the paper shredder....
