US Air Force Officially Confirms B-2 Stealth Bomber Can Launch LRASM Anti-Ship Missiles, Sinks Target Vessel Near Guam
During Exercise Valiant Shield 2026, the US Air Force publicly confirmed for the first time that the Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit stealth bomber is capable of launching the AGM-158C Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM). A B-2 successfully struck the decommissioned USS Juneau in a multinational sinking exercise north of Guam. The integration significantly expands the B-2's role from strategic bomber to a long-range maritime strike platform, with major strategic implications for potential conflicts in the Indo-Pacific.
