Doubt it was drones most likely NATO real time satellite telescopic zoom and targeting for stealth B1 bombers or other aircraft used to attack it with. Its seems neighboring Zionist aligned states kept quite about the aircraft signatures on their radars. If it was Israeli aircraft
In Israel, the
F-15I Ra'am and
F-16I Sufa fighter jets are capable of carrying and using a 2,000-pound bomb. These aircraft, part of the Israeli Air Force, are specifically designed to handle a variety of munitions, including large payloads such as the 2,000-pound precision-guided bombs (e.g.,
GBU-31 JDAM,
Mk 84).
1.
- The F-15I is a variant of the American F-15E Strike Eagle and is the backbone of Israel’s deep strike capability.
- It has the ability to carry large ordnance, including the 2,000-pound bomb, due to its powerful engines, extended range, and heavy payload capacity.
2.
- The F-16I Sufa is a modified version of the F-16 Fighting Falcon, built for the Israeli Air Force. It can carry advanced air-to-ground munitions and handle 2,000-pound bombs.
- It's equipped with advanced avionics and systems to deliver precision-guided bombs.
Both aircraft are regularly used for strategic missions, including airstrikes on high-value targets, and are key components of Israel's military power projection in the region.

The
F-15I Ra'am and
F-16I Sufa, both operated by the Israeli Air Force, have impressive payload capacities and can carry multiple 2,000-pound bombs, depending on mission requirements and configurations. Here's an estimate of how many 2,000-pound bombs each aircraft can carry:
F-15I Ra'am
- Payload Capacity: Around 23,000 pounds (10,400 kg).
- The F-15I can carry up to 8 2,000-pound bombs, depending on the loadout configuration. This can vary based on the need for fuel tanks, electronic warfare pods, and other mission-specific equipment.
- The aircraft has multiple hardpoints and is designed for long-range strikes, making it capable of carrying heavy bomb loads for extended missions.
F-16I Sufa
- Payload Capacity: Around 17,000 pounds (7,700 kg).
- The F-16I can carry up to 2-4 2,000-pound bombs, depending on the configuration and mission requirements.
- While it has a lower payload capacity than the F-15I, the F-16I is more versatile and commonly used for shorter-range missions.
Summary
- F-15I Ra'am: Up to 8 2,000-pound bombs.
- F-16I Sufa: Typically 2-4 2,000-pound bombs.
The actual number of bombs each jet carries depends on mission type, distance, and whether they need to carry additional equipment like external fuel tanks, targeting pods, or defensive systems.
the
F-35 (including the
F-35I Adir, Israel's customized version) can carry 2,000-pound bombs. Specifically, the
F-35 can carry
2,000-pound precision-guided munitions such as the
GBU-31 Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) or similar ordnance.
Bomb Capacity Details:
1.
- The F-35 is designed to be a stealth fighter, so it carries a limited number of weapons in its internal bays to reduce radar signature.
- The F-35 can carry up to two 2,000-pound bombs (such as GBU-31 JDAM) in its internal weapons bay, while still maintaining its stealth profile.
2.
- The F-35 also has the option to carry additional bombs on external hardpoints, but this reduces its stealth capability.
- If stealth is not a priority for the mission, the F-35 can carry more 2,000-pound bombs on its external pylons, giving it the capacity to carry up to 6 or more large bombs, including the internal bay and external hardpoints.
F-35I Adir (Israel's Version):
- The F-35I Adir, Israel's variant of the F-35, retains these capabilities and has also been further customized to integrate Israeli-made weaponry and systems. The F-35I is capable of carrying 2,000-pound bombs in the same configurations (internal and external) as the standard F-35.
Summary:
- Internal Stealth Mode: Can carry up to 2 2,000-pound bombs in its internal bay while maintaining stealth.
- With External Hardpoints: Can carry additional bombs externally, but at the cost of reduced stealth.
The F-35's ability to carry large bombs while retaining its stealth capability makes it a key asset in both strike and air superiority roles.
So Israel is using the most potent American weapons in its inventory to attack weak nations.
