Rumors online often claim that the B-2 Spirit was shot down during a secret mission. However, there is no verified evidence that any B-2 has ever been destroyed by enemy fire.
The only confirmed loss happened in 2008 at Andersen Air Force Base, when a B-2 crashed shortly after takeoff due to faulty sensor data caused by moisture. Both pilots survived.
Another incident in 2021 at Whiteman Air Force Base damaged a bomber during landing, but it was not related to combat.
Despite persistent conspiracy theories, the United States Air Force has confirmed that no B-2 Spirit has ever been shot down in battle.
