With the B-21 Raider coming out over the next few years and that it can fly with drone wing man it probably won't come to fruition. As well they have the NGAD in the works. Great video though. I had no idea this was a concept in consideration.

It's a great deal of fun in Ace7. The first time I saw it was in Ace Combat X when I was a kid, and was bewildered by the thing. It also makes an appearance in HAWX as well although it takes up a different wing shape; more akin to the regular Raptor but merging the wings and elevators.

This is basically the NGAD

[@splatt356]

I was thinking the same thing when he said "the concept is still on the table or has seeded something new we are yet to see"

[@gremlinhunter6109]

NGAD actually an upgraded FB-22???

[@HenryKlausEsq.]

That'd be in line with the B-21 being a matured/modernised design of the B-2. A good way to bring new aircraft into production.

[@shenmisheshou7002]

It does not make much sense to make a small stealth bomber because VHF band radar (the type used in the S-400, S-500, and Chinese Type 346B radars) can see small stealth aircraft like the F-22 and ranges of about 150 nautical miles. To combat this, the airframe has to be much larger than an F-22 or F-35, and that is where the B21 comes it. The B-21 is much less visible to VHF Band radar and could get much closer before being detected, making an intercept difficult. Also, while these radars do not have the resolution to lock on with a more conventional Surface to air missile, the resolution of the VHF band radars is sufficient to get a tactical nuclear missile close enough to destroy or incapacitate an F-35 or F-22. Many commentators live in a world where they think that the only thing that these stealth aircraft have to deal with is other aircraft and the only thing they typically deal with are aircraft of third tier powers. A war with China or Russia will likely be a war that sees the use of tactical nuclear weapons, and the VHF radars have good enough resolution to get a 10 kiloton warhead close enough to down or incapacitate an F-22 of F-35. People are stupid to think that China or Russia would not use this kind of weapon. If we attack China or Russia, they will certainly do so. And just to be clear, no US fighter has shot down a Soviet, Russian, or Chines air force aircraft since 1970. These expensive aircraft are only ever used against low tier combatants.

[@Wyomingchief]

​@shenmisheshou7002 you just spent a whole lot of time and a whole lot of typing just to say something that's absolutely ridiculous. First of all the Chinese will not use tactical nukes or nukes of any kind on a first strike basis. This has been quite consistent and quite clear, and in order to use a nuke against a stealth they would have to do it over their own country highly unlikely😂 Second of all Russia's radar capabilities are an absolute joke at this point in time and probably for the next decade or two. When ukrainians are sending drones in, nonstealthy drones at that, with the Russians sing nothing then what makes you think they can possibly even come close to intercepting anything in our inventory other than a 4th gen? Also you really have no clue on how stealth works, you don't get stealthier by getting larger like the B21.😂 There is a reason that the mature bomber platform the B21 has gotten smaller.

[@Wyomingchief]

​@@shenmisheshou7002as far as the rest of your claims, particularly the nuclear and tactical nuke claims, they're absolutely hilarious and I'm not even going to justify answering them

[@Wyomingchief]

​@@HenryKlausEsq.I'm sure it'll borrow a lot from the F-22 program, but it'll be basically a clean slate design. It's going to focus more on stealth, then on any kind of maneuverability

[@mylesdobinson1534]

I believe some within the RAAF expressed interest in this as a top notch replacement for our F111's at that time. 🤔

[@kilmer009]

Never even heard about the FB-22 before. Thanks for this vid, very informative. It makes sense they dumped the idea in the early/mid 2000's, with the focus on the Middle East. It's too bad, had they not, we might not have seen F-22 production shut down.

[@ronmaximilian6953]

The FB-22 would have used to the avionics of the f-35, had superior range, Superior payload, and also been a better fighter. That was the first problem. The second problem was that in the early 2000s, we were completely focused on the global war on terror where something like the F-16 XL would have made more sense. 15 years later, the FB-22 would have been useful, but it has been supplanted by the next generation air dominance fighter

[@blackhornetf]

With modern technology, it's cheaper to just invest in extra long-range air to ground attack stealth missles that turn onto glide bombs near their ground targets so there is no IR ( its not like this tech doesn't already exist) With modern tech, you dont have to actually fly into and invade another countries air defences to bomb ground targets these days ( when you can just send in a heap of extra long-range stealth missles/ bombs 💣 ) Stealth is a 3 tier system : - Shapes. - Radar absorbent coating. - Electronic Radar Jaming from within the missle or aircraft itself . These, of course, wouldn't be dropped on low value targets in sand land it would be too expensive. Rule number 1 in military warfare = Never reveal your full hand because your opponents can then anticipate your moves and restrictions based on what you have told them about the capabilities and range of your hi tech weaponry.

[@RonaldReaganRocks1]

The thing looks majorly bad-ass.

[@mcburcke]

I disappeared because the B-21 program was starting to be developed about that time, in the "black" budget, so no money could be allotted to an FB-22 derivative.

[@charlesdiggs5297]

The NGAD program was born in this study

[@pahtar7189]

With the F-22 production line long since discontinued, we'd be better off making an FB-23. The YB-23 was stealthier and faster than the YF-22, but less agile. Agility isn't a key requirement for a medium bomber, but stealth and speed are exactly what's needed.

Ace combat for PlayStation. I used to play that with my two brothers.

[@shenmisheshou7002]

The problem with a stealth bomber the size of a stealth fighter is that it can be seen by S band radar at great ranges, just as the F-22 and F-35 can be. These radars cannot lock on, but they can vector interceptors to the oncoming stealth aircraft. The S band radar can't see larger bombers like the B1 and the new B2. The wavelength of the S Band is good on smaller objects, but does not work well against the large stealth bombers.

[@sambojinbojin-sam6550]

I don't think you know how radar works.

[@shenmisheshou7002]

I do know how radar works. I was an F4J Radio Intercept officer in the Marines and my collateral duty was Avionics Maintenance Chief. But none of that matters to you. If you look around the internet, you will find a great deal of technical papers on VHF radar and its ability to detect small stealth aircraft at great range. It is the wavelength that allows it to detect smaller aircraft. The antennas are too big to be mounted on airplanes so an enemy fighter would have difficult detecting and locking a stealth fighter BVR, but the VHF radar could see it from a great distance and vector an intercept. These radars take very large antenna arrays, and you can see these on the AGEIS destroyers and the Chinese 054 using the type 346B. But I am sure that you won't bother taking the time to do some reading about it and that is OK with me. Enjoy your day.

[@sambojinbojin-sam6550]

Sorry mate. I read a lot of comments about/ from people that don't. My apologies. Thanks for the greater explanation 👍 Full respect to you, Sir. Thankyou. (I did a tiny bit of material integration in composites for the new'ish thingos at one point, so yeah. My bad. Old timey blokes talking about "stuff" I guess...) I'm a solid 10-20yrs out of knowing how radars work myself, so my apologies. It boggles the mind these days.

[@shenmisheshou7002]

@@sambojinbojin-sam6550 Sorry for being snippy. There is a lot of material there and even Chinese papers on topics like range and velocity gate jamming, and the Chinese have managed to steal a lot of information about the F-35 itself so I have some confidence that they have also stolen AGEIS data, but that being said, VHF Radars are not technically complicated because they typically only do detection with bearing, altitude and speed, and this info is passed to the AN/SPG-62 fire-control radar, which does the terminal guidance. The AGEIS AN/SPY-1 itself does not actually lock the target and does not have the necessary resolution to do so, but at a distance, you just need to know they are coming and as it turns out, if you make the antenna array big enough, it can see a stealth fighter size target at great distances, however, it cannot see larger aircraft like the B2 or B21 due to the wavelength. I have read several published Chinese papers from universities and I would say that their level of sophistication at the college level is on par with US college level, meaning that once they graduate, the have a ready supply of engineers to go to work for their own defense contractors, and frankly, the Chinese produce more advanced Science and Engineering degrees than the US does (they passed us in 2019). Overall, I have the sense that many in the US and the west cannot fully grasp the rate of acceleration that is occurring in the Chinese defense industry. China has their issues, but having done business in China 20 years ago, and as an 8 year Marine vet, I would say that underestimating your enemy is a rookie mistake. If the Chinese say the Type 346B can see a stealth fighter at great range, knowing it is technically possible, I have little reason to be skeptical.

[@sambojinbojin-sam6550]

@@shenmisheshou7002 all I can say, is the current and future air power of the US, has taken that into account. Mission planning and outcomes, for all factors and future planning, be they Air, Army, Naval, Marines or even Reserves, are taken into account. Current US air power will piss all over both Russia and China, on a two-front war. That is what they are designed to do, if needed and necessary.

the GhostBat design team should have a crack at it. a F-111 replacement should have had equal or superior range, not just longer range weapons. while the f-35 is good, it dose not have the range, speed or payload to replace it. 6,759 km, Mach 2.5, 14,300 kgs. vs... 2,800 km, Mach 1.6, 8,160 kgs. build the FB-22 i say!

[@BionicBurke]

There is no reason for the FB-22 with the B-21 Raider existing. The B-21 Raider claims to have all aspect stealth, making it the only stealth aircraft known to the public to be invisible to radar at every angle.

[@9999AWC]

Stealth does NOT mean invisible to radar

[@jamesrowlands8971]

There is no such thing as being invisible to radar.

You guys are really that dumb to take the word literally... but please continue to be dumb with the gotcha attempts. Also, if something was invisible to radar, how would you even know it existed? Oh.. you wouldn't.. guess we should also ignore all those weird ass UAPs that don't show up on radar either.

[@BionicBurke]

First off, don't be dumb... you know exactly what I mean. Secondly, how would do you explain UAPs that seemingly are invisible to radar? Aliens, am I right... You'd never know if there was true radar invisibility if you can't detect the thing or see it cruising at 40,000 ft+.
