Well, Sean, those images you see taking off from the
British air base in Cyprus,
those are British Tornado fighter jets.
They are taking off as we speak where that's a
live feed that we are getting from that base.
But as we just reported,
the B1 bombers, the US Air Force B1 bombers,
those are supersonic bombers that fly from a base in
Qatar.
They were involved in the air strikes tonight over Syria.
They likely would have been escorted by F22 fighter jets
because.
I misspoke earlier. The B1 is not stealth and so
they would have had to have been escorted.
The F22 would have been the most likely escort.
In case they were challenged by any Syrian or Russian
aircraft.
But those B1 bombers are interesting because they can fire
standoff missiles from up to 600 miles away.
They're known as Jazzem missiles.
They are anywhere from 200 to 600 miles out.
Those standoff missiles can strike a target.
So those B ones are extremely lethal.
And they would be joining those Tomahawk missiles being fired
from the Navy's USS Donald Cook.
That's in the Eastern Mediterranean.
Those Tomahawks, of course, can fly up to 1500 miles.
They fly at a rate the Tomahawk flies at a
rate of 550 mph.
They're low, their radar evading.
And they it's like, if you were to look up,
it would be like seeing a flying telephone going past.
But those Tomahawks are now joined,
we're told, by B1 bombers from the US Air Force.
Sean, All right, Jennifer Griffin,
stand by.
