The one thing keeping the genociders from killing off quite heroic Yemeni resistance was the stealth capabilities of the bombers
Yemen is known for its radar and sophisticated antiaircraft defense.
As long it's not some ancient Soviet radar, there's a fair chance that they can detect the B-2 and B-21. They're big, they're slow, and they're potentially easy targets if you can spot them. Here's hoping for a repeat of the F-117 debacle from back in Kosovo.
they used these to intimidate Iran moreso than because it was required against Yemen
