A Rogue B-2

Just let him do it so we get more funding.

I don't think so.

Looks totally fool's proof.

those lenses are for excercises so that participating aircraft can actually stand a chance of even detecting aircraft like the F-22, the F-35, and the B-2. I’m assuming OP isn’t talking about an excercise. if the pilot turns off all of the transponders, I’m having a hard time figuring out any possible way to stop the plane.

UPDATE:
The bomber was momentarily spotted on radar and now appears to be making a beeline straight for jerusalem.

>I’m having a hard time figuring out any possible way to stop the plane.
sats based on the last known location (scheduled with the refueling aircraft) and velocity. B2s are pretty easy to find even when launched from based that way. There's a reason they run at night and that's to counter nations without the US sat network.

>those lenses are for exercises
false they are used to prevent enemies from gathering signals intelligence on the actual wartime radar signatures of stealth aircraft. I know of very instances outside of wartime when a luneberg lens would be taken off

Let it be

Get in touch with USAF assets in europe and have them smoke him. Shouldnt be hard.

>Over the Atlantic
>F-22s from Alaska

What?

What about rogue subs launching a bunch of nukes instead?

Ummmmm no
They are on 24/7 so when game time comes for real and the lenses are removed, they have no idea what our true power level is.

Call off interceptors
Scramble escort fighters

Daily reminder, stealth is a meme.

Thats not how that works. At all.

not necessarily false considering how they install the lens for excercises with allies such as Australia and India.

Irregardless, there are multiple photos of F-22s commiting real intercepts without the lens.

sorry. burger here.

Go on.

No thanks, but lets just say there are plenty of safety mesures to prevent such a thing

that’s what I meant you retard. do you think some F-18 is going to stand a chance once the lens is removed? Dumbass.

Call in F-16s from Aviano to intercept before it hits Germany.

It'l be being tracked by GPS the whole way,. no way the USAF will let the most advanced stealth bomber get away.

post em if you got em this is the only clear one I've got and the lens is visible. As far as I'm aware the only f-22's operating lenses off were those dropping bombs in with the radar upgrade syria(at the retarded request of the whiny senate who demanded they take the lenses off for like no reason)

No way they shoot it down over Europe though.

Hence you do it before it reaches Europe

They would risk it. That tech is SUPER top secret, it would be destroyed before it made it to the Russian border.

>no thanks

Why ?

In older silos that are open to the public the keys are kept too far apart for one person to be physically able to turn them correctly.

are there tracking devices for sensitive aircraft like the B-2 or the F-22?

Wonder how much that cost in bribes.

I agree, but I still don’t see the United States shooting down a B-2 over any European population center - the international fallout from that would be damning if people on the ground died.

Most new aircraft has such a system, mainly to prevent pilots from doing manouvers that are dangerous or forbidden in peacetime when nobody sees. This is a real issue, mostly with new pilots.

So this is how the nuclear winter began

possibly, no idea wouldn't be something I would know however having some kind of emission going out on an aircraft that you don't want to be seen seems unlikely. however I do wonder how the b-2 would be able top communicate with the Russians as far As I'm aware it only has link-16 and a specialized satellite communication setup. I assume it has some basic radio system for civilian shit but that's limited to like 50 miles so I have no clue how he would have contacted the Russians

uh oh

That B2 wasn't shot down, it had an avionics malfunction and went down. The crew heroically tried to save lives by ditching it in a field. They will be buried with full honors.

Can someone explain to me what a luneberg lens is? I looked it up and I'm not quite familiar with all the optics jargon

He e-mailed Hillary Clinton about his intentions.

Basically the aeronautical equivalent of the corner reflector used on small sailbotes operating operationally in blue water. Helps radar see you moar better.

Ah, thank you friend

This is basically Dr strangelove

The scenario of a rogue nuclear sub is a way better thread.

A b2 cut off from the world is not even a remote threat. Probably would land in Iran or China, that would be a disaster.

No problem, bro.

Russia would probably returned it but just launch a missile from a navy ship in the mediterranean see, we have the capabilities to hit it.

>Implying there are not remote safeguards already about this kind of stuff

Make friends with Russia

>Following midflight refueling over the Atlantic, Captain Fuckup figured it would be fun to shoot his co-pilot in the head

So basically the film Broken Arrow, except John Travolta actually succeeds in killing Christian Slater in the plane

Deathlaser

They also always have drop tanks attached, at least for the bear intercepts

oh no we couldnt catch him oh woops

Quickly nuke Massachusetts, then claim it was a retaliatory strike, organize follow ups.

>destroy Russia further cementing American dominance
>send Massholes to masshell

Win-win in my book

Freddy would have done it

Problem solved.

turning the keys is only part of the entire procedure, it's not physically possible for one person to complete it

Wrong, But I wont say anything more.

don't believe a sub is capable of launching it's nukes by itself, it would need codes to arm them which they have to receive from command

The missiles have to be enabled by TWO two-man crews (four men total).

All the crews in a wing can monitor the status of missiles in other crews' command and there are steps they can take to inhibit an unauthorized launch.

I don't think that's correct. They need coded orders from above to launch, but the keys and codes to launch are memorized by crews, none of which know the others' (or something to that effect)

Also I'm not sure about the targeting selection, you can't just dial in lat/long on a missile, the targets are predetermined although there are almost assuredly different war plans for different scenarios.

>How hard it wouldbbe to turn two keys simultaneously ?
Easy. However to launch a missile you actually need to turn 4 keys at once.

Depends on where the bomber is at the time of the hijack, but probably scramble some fighters from WA or CA and take 'er down.

Dude... The fucking things take enough money to run as is, that's not even counting the specialized hangars, the outdated tech, the onerous flyability... Let them have their white elephant. They'll parade it around for two years tops before it winds up like everything else in their military - mouldering in a field.

Finally, took long enough.

Honestly the best plan.

they'd sell it to china

Submarines would be way more interesting but Tom Clancy is dead so we won't get any cool story about a rogue one.

They probably have some sort of gps tracking on them for this sort of thing so use that to fire a missile at it blame it on electric failure like that one in Guam

>how can you prevent the B-2A from falling into enemy hands?
By nuking the enemy, so there is no more enemy that could get their hands on that B-2.

We can track it by satalite, direct a flight of f-22s and intercept somewhere over the north Atlantic. B2 doesn't have active defenses(that we know off) close to gun range, kill.

It would be like Dr. Strangelove and Failsafe

"When they realize there is no possibility of recalling the [aircraft]... there is only one course of action open. Total commitment."
