The B-2 Spirit is a strategic stealth bomber capable of penetrating the most advanced air defenses with conventional or nuclear payloads (B61-12 and B83 gravity bombs). Its flying-wing design provides very low radar cross-section. It is the only U.S. aircraft that combines stealth with intercontinental range and nuclear capability.

Only 21 aircraft built due to enormous cost ($2.1 billion each). Based at Whiteman AFB, Missouri. Has flown missions from CONUS to Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and conducted nuclear-capable exercises. Being supplemented by the B-21 Raider, which will eventually replace it.
