Iran releases surveillance video of US B-2 bomber: Has Trump's stealth weapon become useless? Instead, it exposes Iran's nervousness... On April 7th, a media outlet in Iran released a video claiming that the Iranian military has already acquired the capability to monitor the US Air Force's B-2 stealth bomber. The video shows the infrared image of the B-2. But does this really mean that Iran has the ability to counter stealth? In fact, the opposite is true. Infrared detection for the B-2 is not the main force against stealth; the real主力 still relies on large-scale satellite monitoring, multi-base radars, and new radar systems. Only these can track the B-2 from long distances and provide precise guidance parameters, which truly pose a threat to the B-2. However, infrared detection within line-of-sight cannot actually stop the B-2 from launching precision-guided weapons from long distances during wartime. Additionally, regarding the video production, the so-called B-2 infrared video can also be forged using video editing software, meaning that it is not necessarily true that Iran can indeed closely monitor US aircraft. Therefore, this video actually reveals Iran's unease in the face of the technological gap with American high-tech weapons, as Iran fundamentally lacks the "denial" capability against American stealth bombers. By comparison, China's effective containment of the US B-2 bomber is achieved through systematic construction such as advanced early warning aircraft, aerospace detection systems, and J-20 early warning aircraft.
