 Episode 2 reveals the intricate military choreography behind Operation Midnight Hammer's flawless execution. Alexandra Reeves takes listeners inside the 18-hour mission that saw seven B-2 Spirit stealth bombers traverse 8,000 miles from Missouri to Iran, employing sophisticated deception tactics including decoy aircraft sent toward Guam while the real strike force approached from the east. The episode details the unprecedented use of fourteen 30,000-pound Massive Ordnance Penetrator bunker-buster bombs, the coordination of over 125 aircraft including tankers, fighters, and surveillance planes, plus submarine-launched Tomahawk missiles. Reeves explains how meticulous planning, technological superiority, multiple in-flight refuelings, electronic warfare capabilities achieved complete tactical surprise against Iranian air defenses, resulting in zero defensive response during the 25-minute weapons release window targeting Fordow, Natanz, Isfahan nuclear facilities.
