VIDEO: The "secret" bombers the US used in the attack on Iran

The United States has reportedly used B-2 Spirit strategic bombers during strikes against Iran, according to analysts who monitor military flight data.

The information was made public by the founder of the Military Air Tracking Alliance, a group of about 30 OSINT analysts who analyze military and government air activity through flight tracking systems.


So far there has been no official confirmation from US officials about the use of these aircraft in recent operations.

One of the most advanced bombers in the world

The B-2 is considered one of the most advanced strategic bombers in the US arsenal, capable of carrying heavy penetrating bombs designed to destroy fortified or underground targets. According to the same sources, aircraft of this type were also used at the end of the Israel-Iran war in 2025, in attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities.

Also known as the “Stealth Bomber”, the Northrop B-2 Spirit is a heavy strategic bomber with low-detection technology, designed to penetrate dense air defenses. The “flying wing” configuration aircraft has a crew of two and was developed by Northrop Grumman, with prime subcontractors Boeing, Hughes and Vought.

The program ran from 1987 to 2000 and produced only 21 units, due to the very high cost. The average price per aircraft amounted to about $2.13 billion, while the total cost per unit, including equipment and logistical support, was even higher.

Capacity and operational history

The B-2 can fly at altitudes of up to 50,000 feet (about 15,000 meters) and has a range of 6,000 nautical miles (about 11,000 kilometers) without aerial refueling. With aerial refueling, its autonomy exceeds 10,000 nautical miles.

The aircraft entered service in 1997 and was originally designed for nuclear missions during the Cold War. However, it made its combat debut with conventional weapons in 1999 during the Kosovo war, and was subsequently used in operations in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya.

Currently, the US Air Force has 19 active B-2 units, after one aircraft crashed in 2008 and another was lost in 2022. According to Pentagon plans, these bombers are expected to remain in service until 2032, when they will be replaced by the Northrop Grumman B-21 Raider.

The B-2 program was one of the US military's most secretive projects, with strict security measures during development and production in California. The aircraft was first publicly unveiled in 1988, but with limited public access.

The B-2 is designed for deep strikes into enemy territory, utilizing stealth technology and high aerodynamic performance. It can carry up to 40,000 pounds (about 18,000 kilograms) of weapons and is equipped with advanced guidance and targeting systems, including GPS-guided JDAM bombs.
