Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit costs $135.000 an hour in flight and the cost per unit is The cost of each aircraft averaged US$737 million in 1997 dollars ($1.01 billion today). In the related links box below, I posted some information about the stealth bomber.

How much does it cost to dismantle an atomic bomb?

The cost to dismantle an atomic bomb can vary significantly based on factors such as the complexity of the device, the materials involved, and the specific processes used. Estimates typically range from several million to tens of millions of dollars per bomb. Additionally, the overall cost can also include expenditures related to safety, security, environmental cleanup, and regulatory compliance.


How does a bunker buster bomb work?

The bunker buster bomb is a very large bomb that either blows up the bunker by exploding directly on top of it (if the bunker is at ground level), Or if the bunker is a few feet below ground, the bomb will go through the dirt and explode in the general area of the bunker and destroy it. The bunker bombs of today, that are dropped by the F-15E Eagle, are much more powerful than the bunker buster bombs that were dropped in WWII by the English Avro Lancaster bomber.


How much does a stealth bomber weigh?

This answer would depend on the type of stealth bomber you are referring to. Most countries keep their stealth programs classified, so it would be difficult to give an overall perspective. The B-2, built by Northrop Grumman and used by the US, is about 172 ft wide and 69 ft long and 17 ft high. It is relatively large if compared to the entire spectrum of military aircraft. The now retired F-117, was smaller, 43 ft wingspan and 65 ft long, as an accurate precision attack bomber. The F-22 and F-35, technically multi-role fighters, are both around the same size. Strategic bombers are being developed by other countries, such as the Tupolev PAK DA and J-XX by Shanghai Aircraft Corporation are being developed at this time. Their sizes are mostly estimates and kept under wraps.


Was the bomb dropped on Nagasaki an atomic bomb or a hydrogen bomb?

Atom or atomic bomb is an older term. The modern term is Nuclear Weapon or Nuclear Device. Then of course there are Thermonuclear weapons (typically these are the large strategic nukes), which are also called "Hydrogen Bombs". These typically consist of a primary or trigger, which is basically a small nuclear weapon. This tiny nuke sets off a larger secondary inside the weapon which causes a fusion reaction and a very large explosion.
