The U.S. Air Force sent two B-2 Spirit stealth bombers to the Nevada Test and Training Range on 3 August for live-fire precision-strike training. The aircraft released live munitions in a coordinated strike scenario designed to test timing, targeting and command-and-control under realistic operational conditions.
The training involved the 325th Weapons Squadron and the 66th Weapons Squadron at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, alongside B-2 aircrews and joint terminal attack controllers. It provided a live environment for crews to practise precision strike procedures and validate the aircraft’s role in long-range penetrating attack missions.
The event comes after the B-2’s combat deployment experience in Operation Midnight Hammer against hardened nuclear sites in Iran in June 2025. The Nevada range remains a key venue for advanced combat training and live weapons employment, with the B-2 continuing to serve in both conventional and strategic strike roles.
