Day one: B-2 Spirits. $2.1 billion stealth bombers flying from Missouri. You send those when air defences are intact and you need to sneak through. Day two: B-1B Lancers with standoff missiles – still keeping your distance, firing from hundreds of kilometres out. Day four: B-52 Stratofortresses. A plane first flown in 1952. Dropping gravity bombs.
The sequence went from stealth → standoff → dumb bombs. That is not escalation dominance. That is either a total degradation of the Iranian AD or the cupboard getting bare and dropping progressively less precise ordnance. On paintings.“The first bombs of this war – so-called precision munitions – were exact, killing Iranian leaders with tight targets. Pape noted that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has signaled less exact “gravity bombs” are becoming the norm for military strikes as the war continues, and has said the U.S. has a “nearly unlimited stockpile” of such weapons.
“The very fact that Secretary Hegseth said we’re going to move into using gravity bombs, he is essentially confirming we’re running out of precision,” Pape said.”
