The recent precision strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities brought global attention once again to the U.S. Air Force’s most formidable weapon, the B-2 Spirit bomber. Nicknamed the“STEALTH FALCON,” the B-2 played a pivotal role in the destruction of Iran’s major nuclear enrichment sites FORDOW, NATANZ, and ISFAHAN in a coordinated strike that demonstrated both power and technological dominance.
With a staggering price tag of approximately2 billion per unit, the B-2 is more than just a military aircraft, it is a marvel of engineering and a symbol of American air superiority. Designed to mimic the profile and aerodynamic capabilities of a peregrine falcon, the fastest bird on Earth — the bomber achieves both speed and invisibility. When diving, a peregrine falcon can exceed 300 km/h; the B-2 mimics its sleek, predatory form to achieve aerodynamic efficiency while evading even the most advanced radar detection systems.
