Comments by "Reecom98" (@reecom9884) on "U.S. Air Force and Navy bomb Houthi weapons storage facility in Yemen" video.
It must have been a long flight from the US to Yemen with multiple air refueling as they avoided overflying countries airspace as much as possible taking the long route to the target. Luckily the B-2 has a single cot bed, a toilet and even a microwave for meals as one pilot monitors the instruments as the other pilot takes a break.

@OG-nq8jm You must be a very old man. Do you still have your own teeth or dentures?

The Houthi rebels have underground weapons storage facilities, while Russia has above ground weapons storage facilities easily destroyed by Ukrainian propeller driven “Kamikaze” drones flying a short distance across the border.

@Mort_and_Ricky Whiteman AFB, Missouri, is the only operational base for the B-2. It has visited other friendly foreign airbase for a friendly visit, but never flown a military mission out of a foreign airbase.

@CokhaPolak The Northrop Grumman B-21 Raider is the next generation stealth bomber being tested. Initially it will be a manned bomber, but the open architecture of its systems, make it possible to be an AI unmanned bomber in the future.

@mattelgin213 If the B-2 were flown out of Diego Garcia, the UK would have to have been notified about the mission. The B-2 bomber was meant for long range missions. The B-2 have been deployed in bases like Diego Garcia and Hawaii with its ground support crew as a combat exercise in case of a protracted conflict and moving the B-2s to a Forward Operational Base (FOB) for quicker response.

@mattelgin213 The Prince Sultan air base built and funded by Saudis was designated as a USAF air expeditionary base meeting USAF requirement in case of a middle east conflict to receive US fighters. Since Diego Garcia is a joint base, the hangers were built by the US as a FOB.
