Show Notes
In this episode, we go behind the headlines of global military movements to explore the "Iron Mountain" of logistics. From the grueling 44-hour missions of B-2 bombers to the microscopic mechanical failures that ground even the most advanced jets, we examine why "forever flight" remains a theoretical dream. Discover the high-stakes dance of mid-air refueling and the hidden supply chains that keep the world's most sophisticated surveillance aircraft in the sky.
