B-2 bomber overpass greets Putin meeting at Alaska military base

As President Donald Trump Russian President Vladimir Putin greeted on the apron of the joint base Elmendorf-Richardson, and the B-2 Stealth Bomber soared overhead, flanked by four F-35 jets.

Putin looked up at the sky as the plane walked with Trump and commented to the U.S. president.

The display is a symbol, both a symbol of force, and a reminder of the U.S. military coverage the moment the two leaders are ready to discuss the future of global security.

The dramatic arrival emphasizes Alaska SummitThe first face-to-face meeting between Trump and Putin has been with the first face-to-face meeting since Trump returned to the White House earlier this year. Elmendorf-Richardson, a joint base outside Anchorage, was chosen for its strong security, strategic location and symbolic status, which is closer to Russia than Washington, D.C., but firm in U.S. soil.

From Admiration to Alaska: Trump and Putin’s high-risk timeline

At the moment, Anchorage and the entire social media onlookers quickly caught it. Many call it “crazy flexibility”, pointing to the recent combat history of the B-2 bomber.

Just two months ago, stealth aircraft played a central role in the U.S. and Israel’s strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities, abandoning the bunker-bomb bomb to bring praise and condemnation on the world stage.

Built by Northrop Grumman, the B-2 Spirit is one of the most advanced aircraft of all time, which can involve penetrating, dense air defense and eye-catching targets anywhere in the world without refueling. Its unique flying wing design and radar adsorption coating make it almost invisible to the enemy’s radar.

Alaska governor hopes to end Ukraine war as state prepares for historic Trump summit

With a distance of more than 6,000 nautical miles and a traditional and nuclear-weapon capability, the B-2 is a key component of the U.S. Nuclear Triad. Only 21 were built and less than 20 were still in service, making any public appearance a rare and intentional statement.

“Absolutely incredible,” one X user wrote. Another added: “Putin now knows that if he was going to cross that line that should never be crossed, he would say hello to him.”

After the brief shutdown ceremony, Putin and Trump entered the “beast”. Heavy armored presidential limousine lined up by a row of American fighter planes, lined up in the formation of silence, and their appearance once again reminded of the bets around the conversation.

The two leaders went to the base’s security conference hall and the discussion began around 3:30 pm Eastern Time. Trump said he plans to “set up a table” during the meeting to attend future summits, including Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy. But if Putin disagrees with Ukraine’s ceasefire, he still told Fox News’ Bret Bayer that he “will not be happy.”
