A total of six USAF B-2s have landed in Australia between January and August 2022. The unprecedented deployment of these bombers in Australia between July and August 2022 affirms the growing nature of US-Australia defence and strategic alliance following AUKUS. (Janes)

The first deployment of United States Air Force (USAF) Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit bombers to Australia has ended.

The deployment is very likely to have resulted in significant capability enhancements for the Australian Defence Force (ADF). It also sets the ground for future USAF stealth bomber operations from Australia.

Images of the deployment reveal that the B-2s co-operated with various units of Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) aircraft, plus elements of the Australian Army and the Royal Australian Navy. The aircraft also played the role of a “hostile force” during Exercise ‘Koolendong 2022' in July.

Lieutenant Brandon Romano, a spokesperson for the US Pacific Air Forces (PACAF), confirmed to Janes on 17 August that the “B-2s had returned to their home station of Whiteman Air Force Base” in Missouri.
