US Sends B-2 Spirit Bombers to Alaska Ahead of Trump-Putin Talks

The United States has deployed two B-2 Spirit strategic bombers to Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska.

These two aircraft were seen on cameras overlooking the airfield, with images streamed live by the YouTube channel StreamTime LIVE.

The bombers have previously taken part in operations targeting facilities linked to Iran’s nuclear program.

US President Donald Trump is scheduled to host Russian President Vladimir Putin at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, located in Anchorage, Alaska’s largest city, with a population of about 300,000.

Trump will travel more than 5,400 kilometers from Washington for the meeting. The distance from Moscow to Elmendorf-Richardson is just under 7,000 kilometers.

B-2 Spirit is a long-range, stealth strategic bomber capable of carrying precision-guided munitions.
