The US strike on Iranian nuclear sites - dubbed "Operation Midnight Hammer"- was the biggest ever attack by B-2 stealth bombers, and the longest flight the aircraft have made since 2001.
It also marked the first time that the US used the massive, 15-ton GBU-57 bunker buster bombs in a military attack - and the US used 14 of them.
The 25-minute operation inside Iran began at 6:40 p.m. ET, with a lead American B-2 bomber dropped two GBU-57 "bunker buster" munitions on the "first of several aim points at Fordow," Caine said.
"The remaining bombers then hit their targets, as well, with a total of 14 MOPs (Massive Ordnance Penetrators) dropped against two nuclear target areas," he said.
7 planes carrying 60k pounds of bombs each fly 18 hours to drop them with pinpoint precision, then turn around and fly back to Missouri. Historic and heroic, for sure, but it also sound pretty boring, sitting in a plane for over 30 hours.
