Operation Midnight Hammer, B2, And GBU-57: Inside The US Strike On Iran | CTRL ALT Defence Ep 09
Update on : Jun 28, 2025 18:00 (IST)
In episode 9 of NDTV's CTRL ALT DEFENCE Podcast, Vishnu Som and Shiv Aroor break down Operation Midnight Hammer - a historic, 36-hour global strike mission featuring America's B-2 stealth bombers, GBU-57 bunker busters, and over 120 support aircraft. We unpack how this unprecedented operation targeted Iranian nuclear sites, why the B-2 remains unmatched in strategic bombing, and what role fifth-generation fighters and Tomahawk missiles played in shaping the mission's success.
Then we zoom out to ask: Why doesn't India field strategic bombers like the U.S., Russia, or China? Is the Su-30 enough? Are bombers even relevant in modern air combat? From radar suppression tactics to the B-21 Raider, this episode is packed with analysis, insight, and the bigger picture on power projection in 21st-century warfare.
