US media: A large number of B-2 stealth bombers rarely flew out at the same time, setting a new record! What is going on? What does such a move by the United States mean?
Regarding the dispatch of these 12 B-2 stealth bombers by the United States, this move has indeed aroused speculation among many netizens.
You must know that the B-2 stealth bomber, as a strategic weapon of the US Air Force, has super stealth capabilities and long-range strike capabilities. And the scale of this dispatch is so large that it has also hit a record high.
In this case, one inevitably wonders: what is the United States going to do?
If we analyze it from a practical point of view, it is likely that the United States is acting like this to send a clear deterrent signal to potential adversaries.
In particular, with the continuous tension in the international situation and the tension between the United States and some countries, the United States may hope to demonstrate its determination and ability to potential adversaries by demonstrating its strong military strength in order to safeguard its national interests and regional security.
It is possible that such actions are a kind of response of the US government to the current international situation, aimed at ensuring its hegemony in the region and globally.
However, such an act may also be a regular military exercise or training activity, through a large-scale sortie of B-2 stealth bombers, the United States may test and improve the combat capability and adaptability of these strategic weapons in a real combat environment, so as to ensure that they can effectively respond to various complex situations.
Therefore, no matter what the purpose of the United States is in dispatching B-2 stealth bombers on a large scale? In the face of this situation, we still need to understand: What is the power of the B-2 stealth bombers? Why has the United States taken such an action this time to set off a huge wave in the international community.
The B-2 stealth bomber is a strategic bomber of the United States Air Force, which is designed to achieve high-precision strikes against targets around the globe while minimizing the possibility of detection by enemy radar systems.
According to available information, the basic dimensions of the bomber are: length 21 meters, wingspan 52.4 meters, height 5.18 meters, maximum take-off weight of about 170,600 kg.
It is also equipped with four General Electric F118-GE-100 afterburnerless turbofan engines, each with a thrust of 17,300 pounds (about 77kN).
The F118-GE-100 is a turbofan engine without afterburner developed by General Electric. It is a high-performance turbofan engine with several advanced technologies and advantages.
First of all, the engine has excellent thrust performance. Each engine has up to 17,300 pounds of thrust, which gives the B-2 the power to perform missions in a variety of flight environments.
Secondly, the engine also adopts advanced turbofan technology, which has high combustion efficiency and low fuel consumption. This means that the B-2 can be more fuel-efficient, extend the flight time and enhance its combat capability when performing long-term flight missions.
In addition, it has a small thermal signature, which is conducive to maintaining the stealth performance of the B-2. By reducing the heat and infrared radiation emitted by the engine, it helps to reduce the likelihood of detection by enemy radar systems and infrared detectors, increasing its survivability and combat effectiveness.
At the same time, its maximum speed figures are also quite good, reaching Mach 0.95. In addition, the maximum range is up to 11,100 km. This means that the B-2 is able to cover long distances in a short period of time and is capable of performing a variety of tasks at different altitudes and speeds.
For this bomber, we also need to understand the weapon system, which is also very important, after all, the weapon system is the key to any fighter. I have to admit that the B-2 bomber is indeed equipped with a relatively powerful weapon system, and can also carry a variety of types of ammunition, including: nuclear warheads, conventional warheads, of which the maximum launch load can also reach 40,000 pounds, such data means: it can perform a variety of different types of strike missions.
Therefore, after we understand these basic parameters and performance, I believe that most netizens are famous for what some experts have said: B-2 stealth bomber is famous for its super stealth ability, long-range strike ability, and diversified weapons and equipment.
The rare simultaneous sortie of B-2 stealth bombers was indeed a military operation of great significance.
Such a move may be to send a deterrent signal to a potential adversary, or it may be to conduct combat readiness testing and training. In any case, it has to be said that the B-2 stealth bomber is indeed an existence that cannot be ignored in terms of current military strength.
There is also an indisputable fact, this is this time, a large number of B-2 stealth bombers were dispatched, and it did set a new record!
