The world didn't know at all...

Except for all of the reports that a bunch of B2 bombers were taking off from the US and were spotted heading for the middle east all over the news.

Hegseth thought only his Signal group chat had access to FlightRadar

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

And all the news articles saying "only the US has bombs capable of penetrating deep enough to hit those facilities, and only the US has bombers designed to carry those (very heavy) bombs".

Yep complete shock to all.

Oof, telling everyone your strike package is a massive ordnance penetrator is just so insecure

First we were shocked. Then we went aww...

The military establishment is really enjoying their moment in the spotlight, aren't they? Look what they can do, wow. Great that there was no questioning the rational of making the world stage even worse. Good job, everyone.

Operation Midnight Hammer sounds like a 70’s detective themed gay porn film.

[–] gAlienLifeform@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

reveals

There is definitely no way the US military would manufacture and present information in a particular way to further their own goals, they do not "say" things and they certainly never make "claims," they only "reveal" the truth to us

[–] zr0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

The B-2 has a crew of two. 18h one way. 36h total mission duration. Do they have sleeping schedules, or do they get drugs?

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago

Like a Californian...first they took the 5 north up to the 405. Switch to the 15 for a little. Then jump over to the 94 .....etc.

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 day ago

Trump got the mission name from Melania.
