? Clandestine Mining Capability
The B-2 is a key platform for deploying naval mines, including the MK-62. Because the MK-62 is a converted 500-pound Mk-82 general-purpose bomb, it is fully compatible with the B-2's standard munitions systems. The bomber's internal rotary launchers can carry a massive payload of up to 80 of these mines.
The primary advantage of using the B-2 for this role is its stealth. This allows the U.S. Air Force to conduct clandestine or offensive mining operations, flying undetected into highly contested enemy airspace to rapidly deploy a minefield in strategic locations such as:
• Enemy harbors
• Key shipping lanes
• Important straits or chokepoints
This capability was demonstrated in recent years during U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM) exercises, highlighting the strategic importance of using stealth bombers to shape maritime battlefields with minimal warning to an adversary.
