Stealth bombers headed to Guam?

By Pacific Island Times News Staff

Six B-2 stealth bombers departed from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri and were speculated to be heading to Andersen Air Force Base on Guam, according to a Fox News report.

Citing flight tracking data and voice communications with air traffic control, Fox News reported that the bombers apparently refueled after launching from Missouri, suggesting they launched without full fuel tanks due to a heavy onboard payload, which could be bunker-buster bombs.

There was no official confirmation from the military as of this writing.

According to The Aviationist, a movement of B-2s has been speculated to be imminent for several days as the U.S. government weighs its options in terms of the Israel-Iran conflict, and whether U.S. forces should directly join with Israeli airstrikes.

"The U.S. response began with a mass deployment of tankers to Europe, followed by F-22 Raptors, which routed via the UK, but so far it has not included kinetic actions," The Aviatonist said.
