主持人:特朗普总统声称美国对伊朗的袭击完全摧毁了目标,但我和我的父亲都对轰炸机向西飞行感到困惑,这似乎不是袭击伊朗的正确方向。我好奇美国、以色列和伊朗之间是如何协调行动的,以及美国军方在多大程度上愿意冒险袭击核设施,他们对情报的掌握程度如何?此外,美国到底有多少 GBU-57 巨型穿透炸弹?为什么B-2轰炸机部署在密苏里州而不是迪戈加西亚岛?美国公民应该如何理解美国军方及其能力? Tony Capascio:目前无法确认美国袭击伊朗的地点是否被完全摧毁,战损评估需要时间,总统关于袭击地点完全被摧毁的说法是夸大其词。这次联合行动在指挥和控制方面执行得相当完美,武器瞄准很大程度上依赖于以色列情报部门的评估。五角大楼在武器瞄准方面非常精确,至少知道武器的落点。在这次事件中,情报相当准确,伊斯法罕设施没有受到大型穿透炸弹的袭击,而是被战斧巡航导弹击中,造成的破坏可能不如大型穿透炸弹,但仍然可能导致核材料泄漏。美国拥有的巨型穿透炸弹数量在二十几个左右,具体数字高度机密。部署B-2轰炸机在密苏里州是为了展示美国的实力,并且避免在迪戈加西亚岛降落时被发现,从而泄露行动安全。这次行动是空军版的“肉馅行动”,向西飞行的轰炸机机组人员故意暴露行踪,而向东飞行的轰炸机则保持无线电静默。美国每年花费巨额资金采购的武器装备确实在发挥作用,尽管可以争论战争的原因,但美国的硬件设备一直运行良好。B-2轰炸机在参与的每次行动中都非常有效。B-21“突袭者”轰炸机将能够控制无人机,并且比B-2更隐形,在隐身材料方面有了质的飞跃,并且能够携带更多的弹药,将成为空中的四分卫。
