Just read an entire Wikipedia page on the B2 bomber. Northrop created all the elements from scratch. Tools, tests, systems, software. Grew up obsessed with fighter jets and stealth bombers, and it's happening all over again.

I said that initially because I was like we don't need stealth over that airspace but seems like the bombs are b52 specific so uh this might happen lol

You don’t think they’ve figured out a way to do payloads in the newer jets by now? (honestly, not facetious)

the article christopher linked above says the bombs are b52 specific so that's what I am basing this on
