Latest updates, there was a lucky guy watching the actual mission B-2's heading east for their strike sorties, while the rest of the world was laser focused on the decoy B-2's heading to Guam:

[Updated] B-2 Spirit Bombers Struck Iranian Nuclear Sites

While most reporters were focused on the B-2 heading to Guam, the actual strike package was already flying east over the Atlantic Ocean toward its targets

theaviationist.com

BATT11 flt. destination is Barksdale AFB


Some sources say the Fordow underground complex is severly damaged, not completly destroyed.


Somehow I'm feeling, it sounds unimaginable, DEATH11 was carrying a B61-12 (bunker busting penetrator/tactical nuke), it looks like it, maybe the first and real-time BDA's were too promising for combatant commanders, so they decided DEATH11 can return without delivering that type of weapon.

Well if you read any of the posts here the last few days we knew something was up out East here.

We talked briefly as to why a dozen KC-135's from the 22 ARW were still hanging around Dover
long after their so called wx evac event was over.

Also posted about how 6 KC-135's went offshore and rtb at 6am local back to Dover with no ADSB showing
and minimal UHF only coms.

The hints were there... They just did a fine job of keeping it quiet.

BTW sir listen a lot got routing wrong on way back. The BAT's coming home didn't go anywhere near Virginia Beach
and most of those freqs listed are old and inop.

IMHO I totally believe that @Mark and @mdmonitor knew, but were practicing opsec and kept it quiet
