Operation midnight hammer: During Operation Midnight Hammer, the US once again showed why the US Forces are the super power of the world. During the attack on Iran’s nuclear bases, no country came to know that the B-2 bomber of America is going to take 18 hours of flying and carrying out the operation thousands of kilometers away.
The US Central Command also used a decoy package to dodge the whole world including Iran. For this, the US sent a entire package of B-2 Spirit Bomber to Guam Airbase. There were also 7 stealth B-2 bombers in this package, which was sent from Missuri Airbase on Friday-Saturday night. All the sensors and transponders of these bombers were on so that the whole world gets information about their departure.
How did America execute Operation Midnight Hammer?
Meanwhile, the statement of the White House spokesperson was revealed that US President Donald Trump will decide to attack Iran after two weeks. In such a situation, the anti-American countries including Iran felt that B-2 bomber had come out of Missuri to attack Guam. The route of this package of the bombers was towards the western direction i.e. the Guam base of the Indian Ocean from the Pacific Ocean. The package also included the US Forces Refular (aircraft). The US also released videos of mid-air refueling of B-2 bomber as part of a well thought out strategy.
According to the US Joint Chief of Staff, General Den Can, the main strike-package of the B-2 bomber was departed from the White Man Air Force Base to Iran for the mission launched on the instructions of the US President. There were also 7 bomber in this package. Although the F-22 raptor stealth fighter jets were accompanied by these bomber, to provide them protection from enemy fighter jets and missiles.
America at 2.10 pm on Iran
All the aircrafts of the main package of B-2 bomber were sensors and transponders off. During the 18 -hour flight, these bomber and fighter aircraft did the minimum communication. America’s Central Command was handling the responsibility of this package. The package flew over the Atlantic Ocean from the Whiteman Airbase and then the middle East from Europe’s air-space.
As soon as the main package of the B-2 bomber entered Iran’s aircraft, the American submarines in the North Arabian Sea attacked the Iran’s Asphan nuclear plant vigorously with two dozen Tomahawk missiles. It was 2.10 pm in Iran at that time.
GBU dropped on Ford and Natanj
In order to dodge Iran, the US also fled some deception fighter jet at the same time. These fourth and fifth generation fighter Jets also attacked Iran’s air defense system. A few minutes later, B-2 bombers dropped the GBU-57A/B bombs at Iran’s Fordo nuclear plant. 14 bombs of about 30 thousand pounds (about 14 tons) were dropped on Fordo and Natanj nuclear plants. According to General Cain, each bomber was accompanied by two (02) GBU bombs, known as Mop or Massive Ordnance Air Blast. GBU is considered the world’s heaviest bomb. That is why they are also given the name of Mother of All Bomb. Each B-2 bomber had two crew members.
According to General Cain, the B-2 bombers of the main package could not detect any Iran radar or air defense system. This is the reason why these B-2 bomber and F-22 raptors are also called invisible aircraft. No fighter jet from Iran did not fly during this period nor was a missile fired on the bomber.
America has done air -work on Iran in just 25 minutes
In just 25 minutes i.e. by 2.35 pm, the main package of B-2 bomber was successfully carried out from Iran’s aircraft by carrying out its mission. The US used a total of 75 pressure bombs and missiles throughout the mission. Also, a total of 125 aircraft participated in this mission, in which a dozen refueller participated in B-2 bomber and F-22 raputor.
According to General Cain, Operation Midnight Hammer was a very classified operation, about which even less people associated with Trump administration were aware of the Washington DC. The operation under the US Saintcom was attended by the US Space Command, Cyber ​​Command, European Command, Transport Command and Strategic Command. According to the US Joint Chief of Chief, Operation Midnight Hammer showed that the US Forces has a global rich and such a mission can hardly do any military of the world.
