B-2 Spirits Could Get New 5,000-Pound Bunker Busters
The new GBU-72/B penetrator bombs could be a valuable addition to the B-2’s already diverse arsenal before it is replaced by the B-21.
US Air Force's new 5,000-pound-class GBU-72/B bunker buster bomb could be a future addition to the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber's arsenal. The service is eying integrating the GBU-72/B and other unspecified "advanced weapons" on the B-2 as part of continued upgrade work on those bombers ahead of the introduction of the new B-21 Raider. The GBU-72/B first emerged publicly in 2021.
