Foreign media reported today (June 22) that: "The B-2 stealth bomber that attacked Iran flew continuously for 37 hours from Whiteman Air Base in Missouri without interruption, and then used bunker bombs to attack Iran's nuclear facilities."
[Smart Tip] Supplementary Information: The longest continuous flight time of the B-2 bomber was created in 2001. In October 2001, during Operation Enduring Freedom, a B-2 bomber ("Spirit of America") continuously flew for 44 hours and 20 minutes while on a mission. During this mission, the B-2 bomber took off from Whiteman Air Base in Missouri, USA, and after multiple aerial refuelings, made a long-distance strike on targets in Afghanistan before landing at the Diego Garcia base in the Indian Ocean.
It should be noted that although the single continuous flight time was 44 hours and 20 minutes, the overall duration of the mission was longer. After landing at the Diego Garcia base, the engines remained running, and after a brief refueling and maintenance, the aircraft took off again to return to the United States. The total engine continuous operation time for the entire mission exceeded 70 hours.
