During the Red Flag war games at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada, three B-1B Lancer, B-2 Spirit and B-52 Stratofortress strategic bombers of the Air Force (Air Force) The US flew together. The corresponding video on YouTube was posted by photojournalist Michael Killian.



The Drive journalist Tyler Rogoway, who drew attention to the photographer Scott Krammer's picture of the lower part of the inconspicuous B-2 Spirit, notes that this fighter " looks like science fiction."

The user @jkratty on Twitter, who also noticed the photo, showed an arrow and marked with the caption "the end of the world comes out here" the closed hatch of the internal compartment of the aircraft designed to house nuclear weapons.


In January, The Drive reported that in August 2020, the US Air Force was studying possible ways to use low-profile strategic bombers, in particular the B-2 Spirit, to deliver a "deep strike on an enemy target", probably related to Russia or China.

In April 2020, the American military-industrial corporation Northrop Grumman released on YouTube a commercial for a heavy, unobtrusive B-2 Spirit strategic bomber. "When the United States goes to war, the B-2s go first — as they did in Iraq, Afghanistan, Serbia, and Libya (in 2011 and 2017)," the video says. Also in the video, the corporation boasts of the 44-hour B-2 Spirit combat mission conducted in Afghanistan as part of Operation Enduring Freedom, which is called the longest in world history.
