British Couple Reacts to Why US Enemies Are Scared of B-21 Raider (Next Generation Stealth Bomber)

[@ExUSSailor]

The B-21 HAS entered production, with the first 6 airframes nearly completed.

[@aidensnow5017]

China and Russia still on 4th gen aircraft tech like: @.@ "B-but..."

[@grumblesa10]

Yes. The B-21 is an actual success story with how quickly it has gone from spec/prototype/DT&E. Not that you'll hear that from the media, of course.

[@christianlong-lo3jm]

​@@grumblesa10 that's because it has new technology helped with the design from an AI severely cutting the cost and the amount of time to production

[@frederickknapp5340]

understand that, my job was a firefighter in the Navy. No one wanted us to work. Luckily, in my time, I only had one fire on the ship and that was a small one.

[@LarryHatch]

The B-2 has the a ability to send false radar signature back to the ground, showing the plan 40 or 100 miles away from where it actually is located. Can you imagine what this new model can do?

[@NarwahlGaming]

It still sends the radar a false reading of 40 to 100 miles and adds a pair of glasses and fake mustache to the blip!

[@KozmikZootz]

@@NarwahlGaming I *thought* this was the stealth bomber, but that mustache and eye wear shows me indisputably that this is not that stealth bomber *at all*. In fact, it looks like my great-uncle Alastair. Now...where did that stealth Bom-- BOOM

i asked a relative in the USAF what he was up to? he couldn't tell me everything but he did say, " be assured that they are working hard on planes that cost a fraction of the old ones and can be worked on easier. so more planes easier to fix better stealth and can be upgraded for years to come. sure sound like it's real. thanks for sharing. get well soon Millie looking better. hope your 90-100% for Xmas.

I want to work for Northrop Grumman. Where I live in Florida, they just built an absolutely massive facility and the vehicles in that parking lot… newest corvettes, teslas, Porsches… pays great and I’ve always wanted to be apart of something bigger. I’m taking steps to achieve an entry level position for Grumman.

Absolutely love you guys! Shouting out from United States..specifically Rio Rancho, New Mexico!

[@joefunk4552]

I have been asked in my travels abroad, are Americans still patriotic, do you still stand behind your nation and flag….the simplest way to put that is in the hours and following days after 9/11, over 342,000 Americans immediately dropped what they were doing and joined the military. Our flag, our country and our citizens were attacked. We all knew instinctively that there was going to be hell to pay and wars to be fought. So yes we are still brave and patriotic…..and yes our flag is still waving freely, only because our commitment to defend our nation no matter what. These lessons have been instilled on this nation so much so that even the Japanese in WWII saw us and feared the potential the US . Famously in WWII, Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto said: “ I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.” He was more than correct.

[@krishargadon3162]

Always remember my peeps we are already in or have something Flying while the b-21 isn't even fielded yet!

[@TheRealZygmo]

Also look into the factory output near the end of WWII. The Ford factory was turning out a B24 heavy bomber every hour, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

@thebeasleys I live in Rapid City South Dakota, and the Air Base next to us is going to be the base to hold the B-21. We are expecting about 2,000 to 10,000 airmen and women to move here to be stationed at Ellsworth AFB. Rapid City's population is at 80,000 people, so by 2025 our population is gonna be almost 100,000. Ellsworth AFB is home to the 28th Bomb Squadron which hold the B-1B Lancer. When the B-21 arrives, the B1 will be retired along with the B-2. Ellsworth has been home to the B1 since 1987.

Jets fly over some usa cities on the 4th of july, in the 1990's during a 4th in Aspen, CO I realized we didn't hear any fly overs during the parade. For some reason I thought to look up to see the blacked outline of a 117 silently gliding across the sky, really spooky, I may have been the only person to notice the aircraft.

[@preppydevildogable]

That’s creepy to us and it’s our aircraft. Imagine how an enemy would feel seeing that above their city. Holy shit!

[@dalelatham2718]

Two great WW2 movies to watch are "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo" starring Van Johnson, Robert Mitchum and Spencer Tracy as Doolittle and "The Purple Heart" about the trial of a captured flight crew of one of the raiders. Both films were produced in 1944 when it was no longer necessary to protect the secrets of the raid.

[@erics607]

Doolittle's Raid is also shown in the movie Pearl Harbor, even though it wasn't the main focus of the movie.

[@marsmott1]

A Beesleys go the Movies channel? I wonder if thats why I enjoy the so much; simin' watching a show with some friends :-)

[@hackerx7329]

Something this video didn't mention. It has a two person cockpit but it is designed to also be remote controlled or programmed as a drone.

[@JPMadden]

1) As the original video mentioned, the Doolittle Raid in 1942 caused only miniscule damage in Japan. But the outrage and embarrassment felt by the Japanese Navy was a deciding factor for their plans to attack the American island of Midway. Based on the numbers, Japan should have won the Battle of Midway. Due to a string of events fortuitous for the U.S. Navy, they sank three Japanese aircraft carriers in five minutes, claiming one of the most unlikely and most pivotal naval battles in history. The Japanese never had a chance to win the Pacific War (World War 2), but this battle put them permanently on the defensive. (The 2001 film "Pearl Harbor" begins with the Doolittle Raid. If you like old movies, watch "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo" from 1944. I would imagine someone has made a documentary video short enough to react to.) 2) Refueling in mid-air obviously requires expert flying, as the two planes need to match speed and get very close. The hose from the tanker aircraft, called the "boom," is controlled by someone at the tail of the tanker. The boom operator extends the boom the last few meters to make the connection. The British RAF has a fleet of 12 tankers that are a modified version of the Airbus A330. Astonishingly, the USAF has more than 550 of them, with nearly 200 more on order! Nearly 400 were built from 1955 to 1965 at the height of the Cold War. They are still airworthy but require more and more maintenance. 3) The $4 billion per plane cost for the B-2 explains why only 21 of the originally planned 132 were built. I cannot confirm this, but at one time in the 1980s or 1990s they supposedly cost more than their weight in gold! When the U.S. military or their contractors give cost estimates, they are frequently VERY wrong, so consider me deeply skeptical that the new B-21 will cost no more than $600 million. You yourselves said the original video makes it sound too good to be true. Nevertheless, I do support replacing the B-2. 4) The threat of war with China is not "almost certain." Talk about hyperbole! The U.S. said the same about the Soviet Union during the Cold War. In case anyone has forgotten, both China and the U.S. are nuclear powers. Having nukes makes adversaries less likely to attack you (at 20:45, the original video says as much). American defense contractors, their lobbyists, and much of the media (including movies, TV, and military KZbin channels) have a tendency to exaggerate, to put it mildly, in their ongoing mission to prevent the U.S. from running out of wars. Right now, we're very close to that, so the marketing campaigns of scaremongering get cranked up. Of course, the chance of war with China is not zero. But we somehow forget that just as politicians in the U.S. like to talk tough and get credit for strengthening the military, so do politicians in Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea. I wonder if one reason Russia actually did invade Ukraine is that the Russian government too successfully built up the imaginary threat of Ukraine in the minds of the Russian people, to the point that it would have appeared irresponsible to not attack such a danger to Russia. (Also, Russia had to do it while Ukraine was not a NATO member.) If there's any truth to that, the Russians were somewhat trapped by their own propaganda. Now that the war is underway, they're even more trapped, because withdrawing would be admitting the whole rationale for it was a lie.

[@gregorywright2798]

There is a movie about Doolittle's raid it's pretty good I don't know how accurate but it's pretty good. After the raid Jimmy Doolittle's name was synonymous with their power!

My dad worked on the B-52 when he was over in Vietnam. They call em the BUFFs (big ugly flying f**ks 😂). 70 years later they’re still in service. Also that place was designed over a weekend in a hotel room in Dayton, Ohio. This B-21 looks and sounds like a complete legendary plane. Just hope we never have to use em.

[@JohnRodriguesPhotographer]

[@DunsfordFarnsworth]

deterrence factor is tons cheaper than a war. also in the doolittle raid one of the bombs actually fell on the emperors property

[@Bozemanjustin]

The beesleys You said that 600 million per aircraft was quite a bit of money. The United States annual department of defense budget is 1.64 trillion dollars. If they were only buying those planes, they could buy 2,733 in one year. But they're only going to buy a hundred of them, over probably a decade or more

[@solvend]

They didn't mention in the video but the B21 can be flown pilotless OR with a pilot. I read.

[@jLutraveling]

The B 2s are temporarily grounded now.

[@Messywildcat78]

Another reason the B-21 will be cheaper is that a lot of parts are common, cheap and easily attainable within the aircraft industry unlike many of our older specialized aircraft where every bolt was several thousand dollars to replace.

[@cosmicthespider7974]

Welcome our newest stealth refueler XD

[@TheGhostGuitars]

The way I look at it, the B2 and the B21 differences parallels the differences in the old PC vs the old Apple Macintoshes. The PC with it's open architecture allows almost any PC to remain relevant for a LONG time with incremental upgrades of almost any component over the years in the same basic frame, whilst the Macintoshes, while very expensive and powerful, are not easily upgradable much and eventually will require a total replacement in order to be competitive over the long haul. I've owned both and noticed in the long haul, it's WAY cheaper to keep & upgrade the old PC, while the cheapest way to keep Mac current is to replace the whole thing every few years, which is STILL costs more to keep current than a PC. Finally the Mac gave up and switched to the PC architecture to be more cost effective BUT they engineered the software to be sooo picky that ye cannot take full advantage of the open architecture. That's why I gave up on the Mac and went PC only and only use the Mac laptops for specialty purposes whilst the PCs does everything else day and night. I imagine the US Military pretty much felt the same way about the B2 stealth bomber and wanted to go the way of the PC and be able to upgrade the airframe as new things gets developed and can get a few more decades out of each airframe. Anything to reduce cost in the long haul is good, while the US Military has a HUGE budget, it still isn't infinite. 😉

[@roberttattorn9412]

Wouldn't it have been better to just keep this airplane top secret and just call it a B2 ? Or is it intended to spook enemies as a deterrent saying "we have this airplane so enemies think twice about doing anything aggressive"? Either way it's a welcome addition to counter any threats to democracy and freedom.

[@williambranch4283]

The B2 is a 40 year old design, so of course there will be newer weapon systems. The Doolittle raid is the only time bombers have been launched by an aircraft carrier.

[@rosshoppus333]

The Doolittle raid is (you’re correct) nearly forgotten. It was our first strike against the Japanese homeland. I’ve served on multiple airbases across the globe where there is at least 1 street, barracks or road named Doolittle. I have also served at Hurlburt (an extension of Eglin AFB) where they did some of their training. Hurlburt Field, FL History Hurlburt started as a minor training field for Eglin Army Air Base during World War Two. The field was first Eglin Auxiliary Field No. 9, and went through a series of minor name changes before settling on Hurlburt Field in 1943, in honor of 1st Lt. Donald Wilson Hurlburt, killed at Eglin Field earlier in 1943. Hurlburt Field was among those used by Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle's Raiders for training on their historic raid on Tokyo in 1942, and was also one of the early development sites for US drones and missiles; Hurlburt was where early cruise missiles were being developed in anticipation of Operation Olympic, the first phase of Operation Downfall, the invasion of Japan. These preparations were not used against Japan, but served to help develop weapons systems for the ongoing defense of the US in the Cold War.

It is most likely true that despite being cheap, the B-21 is still a massive upgrade. We just won't ever know how they managed to do this since like the B-2 before it, and with the F-35 now, most information on what makes the F-35, and B-21 so ground breaking will remain classified. You saw how far the U.S went to retrieve the F-35 that was lost out at sea in Asia to prevent China from getting it. The U.S will do whatever possible to keep the specifics classified especially with this new bomber.

[@timcary5907]

A good summation of the Doolittle Raid can be found at kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaHbg4Gnmqlnm6M The main thing about the raid was the psychological effects on both the Americans and the Japanese. For the Americans it provided a much needed boost to morale and showed that we were still in the fight and could hit back. For the Japanese it lowered morale as it represented the first time the Emperor of Japan had ever been in direct danger and was just a glimpse of what was to come. Some realized that they had indeed awakened a giant and mad him very angry. It was important enough to the Americans that they risked what was left of their navy in the Pacific to make it happen. The raiders on Doolittle's flight knew that it was probably going to be a one way trip and yet they went anyway. The Japanese would consistently underestimate American resolve and fighting spirit.

[@hikikomori69]

Never having to use the plane is not a waste of money. The existence of the plane is a deterrent and therefore money well spent. Northop Grumman, having designed and built the B-2, along with their experience with other modern military aircraft like the F-35, allows them to keep the cost of R&D down on the B-21, making it more affordable while also being extremely advanced.

[@dave8599]

Yes. Other than for defeating the japanese empire, we have never used our nukes, yet those nukes have kept us safe from the Soviets

[@DivusMagus]

The Doolittle raiders is an amazing story, there are a lot of good videos on it, but it effectively was a lot of brave men risking their lives just to give Japan a taste of what they started. Its also very tragic as to escape a lot of the crew men landed or ditched in China which would result in the japanese killing upwards of 250,000 Chinese as retribution for helping the Americans escape. And while the raid itself was not effective on the large it was the first domino leading to Japan's decision to launching an attack against the island of midway which would be the complete turning point in the war in the pacific against the japanese where they would lose 4 of their 6 aircraft carriers.

[@JustMe-gn6yf]

Island hopping in the Solomons mainly by the united states navy and Marines but Australia also played a big part, I spent 2 years in Okinawa in the mid 60s while my dad was stationed there we lived off base with sugarcane fields all over and the caves still held remnants and remains of Japanese soldiers when I was there 20 years after the Battle of Okinawa, the caves were kinda creepy for 10 year old but still fun to explore

The average fighter is between 75 and 150 million dollars. The F22 was significantly more then that. Due to quantity the F35 is in the 100 million dollar price range. When you compare that to a B-21 it doesn't seem to be as much of a big deal.

The thing I would reiterate is the US rarely fields hardware that is not up to the job. This aircraft is likely as good as advertised if not better.

However i do think the B-21 will be successful, not just from a tactical point, but economically and technologically too. But its still years away from final product, as it still has plenty of testing to conclude, but im confident its going to be one badass addition the the US Air Force and its partners.

[@MERollered]

The saying is "you own the skies, you own the war" so we will always push for biggest and shiniest. I am grateful for the fact that it can be upgraded though because America's military does tend to retire things and have a hard time getting rid of the "antiques". So to know that we can do some upgrades to this one will hopefully save storage and the general cost of complete replacement. But America is always trying to be ready for war on either side of both the Oceans. We will probably be in a war in the Pacific, maybe in my life time but who knows. Then all because we're bff's with majority of Europe doesn't mean other who aren't our allies won't be an issue such as Russia & Iran.

Basically it means that we become the thing that we fear most. Ourselves given Absolute Power. An absolute sin against our constitution. Yes we could have power over Earth and the means to control Earth however it is an absolute sin for us to enslave this planet and become a new Roman Empire. PRINCIPLES must be upheld. That's why we have movies like Star Wars that remind us that even though we have the power to subject all does not mean we need to use it. Temperance in Power,. If other nations had the power we did they would probably subject the Earth however we are different from other nations and we have a sacred DUTY to resist that temptation. Basically. Apologies for the text Novel Wall Drizzt, I hope I somewhat answered your question. Happy New Year .

They flew three B-2 near North Korea. They're still cleaning up the mess Kim and his Generals left on the floor.
