Trump makes shocking 'power move' and flies nuclear bombers over Putin's head at meeting

The power plays are underway already, as President Donald Trump had a nuclear bomber fly over Russian President Vladimir Putin's head.

The highly anticipated meeting between Trump and Putin is finally taking place in Anchorage, Alaska, today (August 15). The pair are meeting in an attempt to broker peace amidst the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict.

And so far, things have already gotten off to a bizarre start as Trump was seen going in for his trademark handshake when greeting the Russian president.

But as well as that, Putin will have also heard the famed American B-2 Bomber, as well as four F-35 fighter jets, zoom over his head after just stepping off the plane.

Taking to Twitter to share the news, one user posted a clip of it with the caption: "Trump just flew a B-2 stealth bomber over Putin’s head… Absolutely incredible."

Rushing to the comments, one person typed: "Should have showed off the new B-21 instead."

"Power move lol," another commented.

A third penned: "Beast mode. The only thing powerful people respect…Power."

On June 21, Trump launched a missile attack on a few of Iran's key nuclear facilities, later declaring the mission a 'success' - though Iran later retaliated with an attack of their own on six US air bases in Qatar and Iraq.

Speaking to reporters in the Pentagon at the time, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth mentioned how the US stealth bombers managed to fly undetected as they carried out their mission, which was codenamed Operation Midnight Hammer.

"Our B-2s went in and out of these nuclear sites, in and out and back without the world knowing at all - in that way it was historic," he said.

There is no denying that Putin would have certainly seen it coming as it flew considerably low. The stealth bombers have been hailed as the most expensive military aircraft ever built.

Officially called the Northrop B-2 Spirit, these jets cost over $2 billion each to build and are the only jets that have the capabilities of dropping the notorious 30,000lb 'bunker busting' bombs.

These high-end military aircraft have a non-refilled range of 7,000 miles and, in a bid to remain undetected during the June strikes, the pilots had to refuel the jet while airborne during the 36-hour-long round trip.

Reportedly, it took American pilots 18 hours to travel from Missouri to Iran.

As well as these jets, two F-22 planes were placed on either side of the red carpet, with ABC News noting that these planes are known for their ability to fly undetected.

The outlet also notes that it is unclear whether Trump ordered the flights.
