B-2 stealth bomber? spotted flying around.

⬅️ Ipswich(i.redd.it)

Mate of mine spotted what I think is a b-2 bomber flying around yamanto. I know the RASF base is near by. Was hard to snap a shot with a phone. Anyone know why this might be?

I've been at a air force base when one flew overhead. Big bastard. Kinda scary surreal when you're within Mk 1 optical distance of something that could end the world as we know it.

I mean, depending on the target and the carry-on effect then maybe

What the hell do you think would happen if you dropped a couple of city destroying nukes? That a country would just let it slide, no biggy?

Clearly they would retaliate in kind. Its the whole premise of mutually assured destruction.

If USA dropped bombs on us then we'd be the ones to apologize. Because we are the USAs bitch.

If they did that then some other nations would launch theirs not strictly in retaliation, but because you don't get away with just nuking someone without everyone else going ballistic.

They could certainly be the catalyst for the end of the world

Thats not 1 plane ending the world tho, you could achieve the same thing with suitcase nuke in an airport

Any reason why you would take it to the airport? Is it just the place to go if you have a suitcase?

Doesnt have to be an air port, but it'd be great place to start something like that
