On the question of America giving Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, President Donald Trump has clearly said that no such decision has been taken at present, but the situation may change in the future. He stressed that the priority now should be for Ukraine and Russia to jointly find a peaceful solution to this dispute. Trump said, “We do not want the war to spread further. Both countries have been fighting for the last three years.”

On the questions of journalists, Trump reiterated that till now no concrete decision has been taken to give Tomahawk, but his reaction may change in future. Recently, there was talk of a meeting between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Budapest, which was later postponed. Apart from this, on October 17, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also met Trump and at that time Kiev had indicated that America could consider long-range missiles so that talks could be held with Russia. However, Zelensky could not go back with concrete support from America at that time.

Russia gave this warning

Russia has also warned that if America gives long-range missiles like Tomahawk to Ukraine, then further tension in US-Russian relations may increase. Russian media and officials said this could create a perception of America being directly involved in the war, which would further complicate the situation.

Where are Tomahawk missiles used?

If we pay attention to the technical aspect of Tomahawk missiles, they have been in use by the armed forces for decades. They are usually fired from submarines or warships and are designed to target infrastructure or remote targets. There is an ongoing debate among governments and analysts as to what impact the supply of such weapons will have on regional security and geo-strategic balance.

Official video of b-2 bombers: At midnight of June 21, the US Air Force carried out a secret and extremely dangerous operation, named Operation Midnight Hammer. Under this operation, seven B-2 Spirit Stealth Bombers aircraft flew from the Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, USA and bombed Iran’s three nuclear bases after a 37-hour long flight. In this attack, America used its most powerful bunker-piercing bomb GBU-57 MOP. Now the US Air Force has also released a video of this entire mission, in which the aircraft can be seen taking off at 12:01 pm and landing after the mission.

The most dangerous mission of 37 hours
This operation started on 21 June and lasted till the next day. The total flight period was 37 hours. This was the second longest flight ever after the 2001 Operation Enduring Freedom of America’s B-2 aircraft. Then B-2 took 44 hours of flight. This time all the B -2 aircraft involved in the mission made a nonstop flight, the bomb dropping on the target and the safe return – everything in the same mission.

GBU-57 MOP: 30 thousand pound bunker bomb
In this operation, B-2 bombers were equipped with GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP). It is a bomb weighing 30,000 pounds that can explode by penetrating 200 feet under the ground. Its special fuse system delays delay so that the maximum damage can be done inside. This bomb can be dropped only by B-2 aircraft. This time the US targeted three Iran’s nuclear bases – Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan. All these places are considered underground nuclear facilities.

Air fuel stuffing and secret coordination
Each B-2 aircraft had two pilots during the mission. The aircraft continued to get fuel at mid-air refueling points after Missouri flying from the airbase. He then coordinated with the support package under the US Central Command (Central Command). This coordination took place in a narrow aerial border where accurate timeliness with minimal radio connectivity was extremely important. All this was done quietly and very fast.

Attack from sea and sky together
When the B-2 aircraft were to enter the Iranian border, a US Navy submarine fired more than 25 Tomahawk cruise missiles from the Center Command area. Their aim was to eliminate the major military and infrastructure targets on the surface of Iran. Along with this, decoy (confusion) aircraft were also deployed so that Iran’s air defense system would be confused. At the same time, the fourth and fifth generation American fighter jets kept flying in front of the main strike package and the enemy’s fighter jets and missiles kept cleaning the danger in advance.

When did the attack and how much destruction
Eastern America is at 6:40 pm as per time (2:10 pm in Iran), the first B-2 bombs falls two GBU-57 bombs on the Fordo site. Soon after that other bombers also attacked their goals. Overall, 14 massive Ordnance Penetrator bombs were dropped. The attack was completed between 6:40 PM to 7:05 PM Eastern Time. All three targets – Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan were suffering serious damage.
