You’re talking about one of the most powerful stealth strike combinations in the world! Here’s a breakdown:
πΊ B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber
-
Role: Long-range, heavy strategic bomber.
-
Stealth: Radar-evading, flying wing design.
-
Range: ~6,900 miles unrefueled.
-
Payload: Up to 40,000 lbs of bombs and missiles.
Nicknamed the “Spirit”, it’s virtually invisible to enemy radar and capable of deep-penetration missions.
π£ GBU-57A/B MOP (Massive Ordnance Penetrator)
-
Nickname: βThe Bunker Busterβ
-
Weight: ~30,000 lbs (13,600 kg)
-
Purpose: Designed to destroy deeply buried bunkers and hardened facilities.
-
Penetration: Over 200 feet (61 meters) of reinforced concrete or 130 feet (40 m) into rocky terrain.
-
Guidance: GPS-guided (precision targeting)
𧨠B-2 + GBU-57 = Ultimate Bunker Buster Strike
-
The B-2 is the only operational aircraft capable of carrying the GBU-57 due to the bombβs massive size and the bomberβs internal bay capacity.
-
Ideal for pre-emptive strikes on underground nuclear sites or fortified enemy positions.
π₯ Tactical Powerhouse
This combo is designed for strategic deterrence and first-strike capability, especially when dealing with threats like:
-
Nuclear facilities
-
Hardened command centers
-
Deep mountain complexes
Let me know if you want a visual breakdown or simulation-style scenario.

Awesome! Here’s what I can offer β pick one or more options below, or tell me what you’re thinking:
πΉ Visual Breakdown
I can generate an image showing:
-
The B-2 Spirit with bomb bay open, ready to release the GBU-57
-
Cutaway view of the GBU-57 showing its internal structure (penetrator casing, guidance unit, etc.)
-
A side-by-side comparison: B-2 scale vs GBU-57 vs a bunker target
πΉ Simulation-Style Scenario
I can walk you through a fictional but realistic military scenario, such as:
-
Strike Mission on a Deep Underground Bunker
-
Mission briefing
-
B-2 ingress route (low observable flight path)
-
Target: fortified nuclear facility
-
Weapon deployment and impact breakdown
-
-
“Red Flag”-style Exercise Simulation
-
U.S. Air Force testing B-2 + GBU-57 against mock enemy targets in Nevada
-
Countermeasure and radar evasion elements included
-
πΉ Interactive Mission Planner (Text-Based)
You can play the role of mission commander and make decisions:
-
Choose time of day, route, altitude
-
Decide on weapon payload mix
-
React to unexpected threats (e.g. radar lock-on, scrambling fighters)
