A new 500-pound version tested earlier this year has expanded the targeting capabilities of the B-2 and its ability to deliver more rapid stealth strikes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are very pleased that the Americans want to test such new weapons together with Norwegian forces,\u201d Lt. Col. Vegard Finberg, head of communications for the Norwegian Armed Forces, told Military Times. \u201cThis shows that the United States prioritizes maintaining stability and security in the High North. Stability in the High North is important for Norwegian, European and American security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn addition to the operational contribution, Norway also provided the U.S. forces with access to infrastructure and airspace, making it possible to conduct the test in a demanding environment,\u201d Finberg said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the exercise, Norwegian forces facilitated operational support for the B-2, which delivered the strikes and sunk the target. The B-2 previously demonstrated its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/naval\/2025\/06\/25\/heres-the-role-an-ohio-class-submarine-played-in-the-strikes-on-iran\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/naval\/2025\/06\/25\/heres-the-role-an-ohio-class-submarine-played-in-the-strikes-on-iran\/\">striking power during Operation Midnight Hammer<\/a>, which saw Iranian nuclear development facilities destroyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis test is a clear example of how we work with trusted allies to bring new capabilities into play faster and smarter,\u201d U.S. Air Force Col. Scott Gunn, 53rd Wing commander, said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.af.mil\/News\/Article-Display\/Article\/4299532\/us-norway-test-maritime-strike-in-high-north\/\" rel=\"\">in a service release.<\/a> \u201cWe\u2019re not just preparing for tomorrow; we\u2019re shaping it together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The test comes at a time when the Arctic is becoming an increasingly contested environment, in addition to China attempting to assert maritime dominance through a series of naval provocations,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2025\/08\/11\/chinese-research-ships-in-us-arctic-draw-coast-guard-response\/\" rel=\"\"> including with a series of recent incursions into U.S. Arctic territory<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe exercise demonstrated how Norwegian and American air power can work together seamlessly to engage targets at sea under realistic conditions,\u201d Finberg said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis contributes to increased collective security and deterrence against future attacks against Norway and the Nordic region.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The exercise comes at a time when the Arctic is becoming an increasingly contested
