B-52 Bombers Join B-2s on Diego Garcia
May 7, 2025 | By Greg Hadley

B-52 bombers flew to the remote Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia, where multiple B-2 bombers have been stationed for weeks, Air & Space Forces Magazine has confirmed.

During a congressional hearing May 7, Air Force deputy chief of staff for strategic deterrence and nuclear integration Lt. Gen. Andrew J. Gebara told lawmakers that “there’s a Bomber Task Force of B-52s going on as we speak.” 


Flight tracking data and radio transmissions posted on social media showed B-52s headed to Diego Garcia a few days ago, and satellite imagery posted by plane spotters appeared to show the bombers on the ramp near the B-2s, which arrived there in late March.

Air Force Global Strike Command would not comment on locations of aircraft. A statement responding to questions said the command “routinely conducts global operations in coordination with other combatant commands, services, and participating U.S. government agencies to deter, detect and, if necessary, defeat strategic attacks against the United States and its allies. To preserve operational security, we do not discuss details about exercises or operations.”

But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Was the move approved by a federal judge? :thud:

Socotra is closer to the Middle East, Persian Gulf, and Red Sea.

It's worth looking into 'acquiring' Socotra to be the Guam of the Indian Ocean.

   Not bad for a USAF Bomber that took its maiden flight 72 years ago, next week.
