Iran Israel war: Man who helped develop B-2 Bomber was an Indian, but he is in jail now due to…, his name is..

Iran Israel war: US recently used its B2 Spirit bombers to attack Iran’s nuclear sites. This aircraft is also called stealth bombers. However, very few know that this aircraft has a connection with India. An Indian US citizen was also involved in making the propulsion system of this aircraft, who was later sentenced to 30 years in prison. His name is Noshir Gowadia.

Noshir Gowadia is an engineer by profession. He was born in Mumbai and was sentenced to 32 years in prison for sharing classified military information with China. Through this, China had developed a cruise missile exhaust system to make its cruise missiles incapable of detection.

Worked on the B2 Spirit bomber

According to the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), 81-year-old Gowadia was first arrested in October 2005 on the basis of a criminal complaint. He was accused of giving information related to national security. Information obtained during the trial revealed that Gowadia worked with the manufacturer of B2 bombers for about 20 years between 1968-1986. During this time he worked on the creation of unique propulsion systems and low observable capabilities of B2. He continued to work on classified matters with the US government until 1997.

Sentenced to jail

Evidence presented during the trial showed that Gowadia visited China six times between June 2003 and July 2005. During this period, he offered his defence services in China in the form of design, test support, test data analysis of technologies.

The purpose of this was to help China develop stealthy nozzle and develop cruise missile systems. At the time of his arrest, Gowadia was paid at least $110,000 by China. Gowadia was convicted in 2010 and sentenced to 32 years in prison in 2011.

The Pentagon confirmed B-2 bombers were used in the attack, which came after days of rising tensions and a week of escalating hostilities between Israel and Iran. On Saturday, the US had repositioned B-2 bombers to the Pacific island of Guam.
