Alongside the single B-1 mission from RAF Fairford (EGVA) yesterday (6th April 2026), the US mainland saw the launch of 3x B-2A "Spirit" bombers to Iran as part of #OperationEpicFury. These bombers kept an even lower profile than normal during their transit, with very few of their supporting tankers appearing on tracking apps at all! All 3 B-2s are now back over the Atlantic heading home.

It's hard to see how this was a "defensive" mission from Fairford, or has UK policy changed?
