Midnight Hammer F-16 pilots flew their non-stealth jets deep into Iran protecting bombers. Then they flew out critically low on fuel.
In June 2025, Operation Midnight Hammer used US Air Force F-16s to clear the way for B-2 bombers that struck Iran’s nuclear facilities. The F-16s flew hundreds of miles into Iranian territory, suppressed hostile air defenses, and returned with very little fuel remaining. Six F-16 pilots from the 55th Fighter Squadron received Distinguished Flying Crosses with combat service designations. Their mission required offensive counter-air and suppression of enemy air defenses to help B-2 Spirit bombers deliver 30,000-pound GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators to Iranian nuclear targets.
