Let us inform you that America used it in 2001 to drive out the Taliban in Afghanistan. According to reports, during that time, America used five B-2 bombers to bomb the Taliban hideouts. According to estimates, the cost of the bomber is $2 billion (about Rs 1734 crore).

According to an NDTV report, B-2 Spirit is a fifth-generation stealth bomber, which first flew in the year 1989. At the same time, this aircraft was put into operation during the Kosovo War in the year 1999. Let us tell you that B-2 is quite different from its predecessors like B-1 Lancer, B-52 Stratofortress, and F-117 Nighthawks.

After taking off from the American base to carry out Operation Midnight Hammer in Iran and returning after carrying out the operation, the B-bomber remained in the air for about 37 hours. The plane was refueled in the air itself. In such a situation, the question arises as to how the pilots of this plane spent so much time.
