Developed by Northrop Grumman and first unveiled in 1988, this heavy strategic bomber was designed to penetrate advanced enemy air defenses undetected. Its unique flying wing design, which lacks a traditional fuselage and tail, minimizes its radar cross-section. The B-2 can carry a wide array of munitions, including both conventional and nuclear weapons, with a maximum payload capacity of around 60,000 pounds. Its operational range exceeds 6,000 nautical miles.
