They were just deployed there?

Is this to play some sort of mind game with N.Korea? Or just a scheduled happening.

Fighter escort, theres something you dont often see these days.

It gives me goosebumps to see those things.

The B-2 is ok in an Asimov kind of world. The B-1 is graceful, maybe prettier than the Concorde; but the B-52, that's an airplane.

Okay this might be a dumb question, but why does the B-2 often apear in pics with fighter escort?
Is it like " this thing costs a gazillion bucks, so we better have an escort"
Or what?

Cheers

Just about every time the U.S. is in negotiations with NK the big iron gets deployed out there. I suppose there could be a lot of reasons for it, though I don't think it's anything more than shuffling the deck to make them nervous.

The force deployed to Guam is enough to stop an armored push into SK (with the right weapons). It's not going to stop the slaughter of civilians by NK artillery, but it would stop NK from invading.

Of course, if NK launched a strike on Guam using an IRBM salvo, or special weapons....
