Two flights of between 6 and 8 B-2A “Spirit” Long-Range Stealth Bombers departed from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri earlier tonight, joined by two groups of 4 KC-135 Aerial-Refueling Tankers each, all heading west towards the Pacific. The bombers have now begun their roughly 20+ hour trip to Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, which is roughly 2,000 miles from Iran.

Soon…

Correction: According to flight tracking as well as apparent statements from officials, the B-2As, which consist of at least six bombers, are flying to Andersen Air Force Base in Guam, not Diego Garcia like initially believed. This would place the bombers over 5,000 miles from Iran, though aerial-refueling would still allow the bombers to reach Iran in roughly 18+ hours, depending on route taken.

Satellite imagery from June 19 of Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia shows a massive number of military aircraft with U.S. and Allied Air Forces having arrived within the last week or so now amassing at the base, including at least 54 F-16s, 22 KC-135s, and 11 C-130s, as well as a handful of other aircraft on the tarmac and in aircraft shelters at the base.

Targets struck include a site where missile launchers were stored, some of which had launched ballistic missiles in the past toward the State of Israel, radar detection sites used for detection and aerial intelligence gathering, and the Al-Hadid Military Base.

U.S. defense officials have now confirmed to NBC News and Reuters that several B-2A “Spirit” Long-Range Stealth Bombers took-off last night from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, and are heading for Guam in the Western Pacific.
