00:00 Does the B-2 have toilets?
00:01 The B-2 bomber has incredible range capabilities.
00:04 Its design dates back to the 1980s and was introduced in the US Air Force in 1997.
00:09 It is designed to go unnoticed in front of enemy air defenses thanks to its stealth characteristics.
00:13 The B-2 has even broken records in history books with remarkable long-distance flights.
00:17 It has an intercontinental action radius.
00:19 To put it simply, it is capable of flying at more than 11,000 km without refueling.
00:22 For example, it carried out a bombing mission to Afghanistan, a 44-hour marathon flight,
00:27 then turned around to replace his crew and returned to the United States in just 34 hours.
00:31 However, you might wonder how the crew manages these terribly long missions.
00:34 Well, the answer is that they are simply in a flying hotel.
00:36 You see, the B-2 is equipped for the comfort of the crew.
00:39 It is much simpler than a military plane.
00:40 It is a second home for the dedicated staff.
00:42 They have access to essential commodities, including a bed for a good rest,
00:46 a microwave for a hot meal during long trips, and even toilets.
00:49 The B-2 is one of the most expensive military planes ever produced,
00:52 partly due to its cutting-edge technology and stealth.
00:54 The unit cost was about $ 2 billion per plane, and only 21 copies were built.
00:59 All still in service in the US Air Force.
