Bomb-damage assessment photos. The top photo shows Krivovo support base in Serbia. The strike was performed by a single B-2 at night in complete cloud cover after flying from Whiteman Air Force Base (midway between St. Louis and Kansas City) to Kosovo nonstop. Eight weapons, two per building, were deployed, with offsets in targeted points on each building to spread the damage. Synthetic aperture radar targeting was used just before launching the weapons.
