For the first time ever, all three types of the US's long-range bombers are being used in combat simultaneously. That's the B2 Spirit, the B1 Lancer, and the B-52 Stratfortress. So far, the bombers have flown to the Middle East from their bases in the US, but they could soon be staged at British bases much closer to the battlefield. >> The amount of firepower over Iran and over Thyron is about to surge dramatically. For Epic Fury, the bombers are being used to take out missile depots and launchers, which officials say is a top priority. >> In just the last 72 hours, America's bomber force has struck nearly 200 targets deep inside of Iran, including around Tran. >> The stealth B2 Spirit Bomber was designed to evade enemy detection, which explains its unique shape as well as its special coatings. In the early days of Epic Fury, B2s dropped 2,000lb penetrator bombs on underground missile facilities. B2s can also carry the GBU57, a 30,000lb bunker buster bomb. These are the same bombs they dropped on Iranian nuclear facilities last June during Operation Midnight Hammer. B1s are not designed for stealth, but they can fly at supersonic speeds and carry 75,000 lbs of bombs, more than any other US bomber. Notably, they can carry 24 cruise missiles at a time, and they were recently used in Venezuela to take out air defenses during the US operation to capture Nicholas Maduro. Finally, B-52s are the oldest of the bombers, and they are considered to be the workhorse of the fleet. Not only can they drop bombs, but they're also highly effective at maritime surveillance. These US bombers are capable of reaching anywhere in the world from their bases in the US. But because Iran has fired at British personnel in Cyprus, the UK says it will let the US use its bases for strikes on Iranian missile sites. >> The only way to stop the threat is to destroy the missiles at source >> from British bases. US bombers will be able to fly shorter distances to Iran, which increases their flight tempo and ultimately allows them to drop more bombs. B2s, B-52s, B1s, Predator drones, fighters controlling the skies, picking targets, death and destruction from the sky all day long.
