The B-21 Raider is expected to fulfill the same role in protecting the United States from hostile nations. In a world of rapidly improving technology, people can only guess at the elements of the B-21 Raider that are being withheld from the public.
The true capabilities of the bomber may not be known for generations to come, but with the B-21 in service- those generations can rest safe in the knowledge that their country is being protected.

@@saveusall6915 Northrop Grumman said in an interview that the B-21 isn't exactly a new design. It was the initial design for the B-2 but at the last moment the USAF wanted to add low-level penetration, so they redesigned the B-2 into the bomber that we all know. Moreover, they claimed that the parts they're using for the B-21 are from existing airframes; the engines for the B-21 were taken from the F-35. A.I. is also a factor which allows faster rendering and designing of the airframe. This is more of a repeat of the F-117 Nighthawk, the project was so secretive that majority of its parts came from the F/A-18, F-16, and F-15.

The Northrop Grumman B-21 Raider is an American strategic bomber under development for the United States Air Force by Northrop Grumman. As part of the Long Range Strike Bomber program, it is to be a long-range, stealth intercontinental strategic bomber for the USAF, able to deliver conventional and thermonuclear weapons. The Air Force intends the B-21 to replace the Rockwell B-1 Lancer and Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit by 2040, and possibly the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress after that The Air Force began planning for the B-21 in 2011 and was awarded the major development contract in 2015. The B-21 is expected to make its first flight in 2023 and enter service by 2027. Many aspects of the B-21 program are highly classified; the program is designated a particular access program. The Congressional Research Service noted in 2021 that the B-21's technical details and specifications, such as speed, enabling systems, "size, required stealth, structure, number and type of engines, projected weapons, and onboard sensors remain classified". However, some information about various other aspects of the program has been made public since 2015. The first photos of the aircraft were released on 2 December 2022, taken during a rollout ceremony at Northrop Grumman's production facilities in Palmdale, California.

Can you do a video about the disastrous "The Battle of Firebase illingsly" from the Vietnam War?! For those unaware, it was a moment when approximately 450 Viet Congs ambushed a division of around 100 Puerto Rican conscripted young soldiers recently deployed by the US , and sadly our boys got decimated, with only 16 survivors who went on to get captured and suffer as POWs for many months until the legendary 101st saved them in a amazing rescue mission.. this division was made of young Puerto Ricans aged 16-20ish and it is of great significance to me as my grandfather was one of the survivors and also the youngest of all the troops, aged 16 and had he died that night, my very existence would've never happened as he hadn't yet met my grandmother, my father along with my dozens of cousins wouldn't be here either. Grandpa lost a foot, and survived a bullet through his armpit that landed in his lung, and did not receive adequate medical attention until the successful rescue mission! Eventually, he got redeployed and was part of the group within the helicopter that was in that infamous photo of our heroes leaving Saigon with South Vietnamese people hanging from the helicopter. He went on to become the first Puerto Rican to make Army Ranger, and Eventually went full circle via reassignment to command the 101st in Dessert Storm.. He retired in 2015 after nearly 50 years of service, and sadly died from a heart attack only 3 months after his retirement party.. I never knew until his funeral but there was actually a published book written about "Firebase Illingsley" written by one of his comrades that really illustrates what he went through as a 16 year old survivor.. at the time of his retirement he was heavily decorated yet ironically, his wife/my grandma Meloni somehow managed to outrank him while surviving 6 deployments compared to his 12 deployments. I bring this up as today is the one year anniversary of her dying from brain cancer, and I am forever proud of my grandparents and honored to have been raised by them. I never even knew of their tremendous acts of valour as they were determined to not inspire me and my siblings to join the military as they suffered a tremendous amount of grief and violence defending our great nation. I only ever heard of their achievements through their comrades stories told to me after their deaths, and if I ever could have one wish, it would be to hear from grandma and my poppa themselves of the stories and efforts they experienced, and what's crazy is I still can not fathom the fact they are the same ones I forever viewed as so gentle and humble, I can not wrap my head around that they both experienced what they did and never allowed it to enter my awareness , it's like there was a switch that would turn off and it was 100% love and family time... And I must say, from what I've learned... When that switch turns back the other way, incredible acts of courage, brutality, violence and valour happened and the enemy stood little chance. I am proud of them , and I feel their greatest achievement was successfully surviving those wars protecting us all while simultaneously convincing me and my siblings to not follow in their footsteps. They make me fear war, not because of the enemy but because there may be troops like them on the other side as well, as every war has it's heroes, it's protagonists and antagonists ,... And so if you've read this far , thank you for allowing me to pay my respects to my personal heroes, and May the World Find Peace, so nobody ever has to hide their most incredible moments from their most beloved people. RIP Charles & Meloni Beauchamp, I am so proud to have known you both in the perspective that I know, and so proud of you both as well as all of our troops for being so courageous and protective of us all. Hoorah, and May you both forever be "at ease" dancing up above and watching after me still.. sincerely, your grandson,.. ps I miss you both,.. and I hope you all check out that book. Salute 🫡

Based on Ice Ages data, we know that an extremely small amount of population can survive these conditions but billions will die. The issue is not "the economy".

I love how when China bluffs about some new military weapon, the US takes them seriously and builds an even better version in less time at a cheaper cost

[@ianshaver8954]

This happened during the Cold War. The people in charge of analyzing how strong our enemies are are the same people who have an incentive to increase military spending. This causes the US military to drastically overestimate its enemies capabilities.

[@Jay-qb9gi]

China actively boasts about their new weapon. You wouldn’t even know the US had an even more lethal weapon years after development and completion

The main benefit of the B-21 is the enhanced electronics (boring stuff) and it’s dramatically lower maintenance cost. The B-2s had to be stored in Climate controlled Hangars and Were very fragile (you know what I mean by fragile)

[@richiepurucker7603]

Typically the most boring abilities of a military aircraft is the best traits it has.the f35s ability to autonomously relay info in real time is what separates it from any other fighter.

Very interesting. This coupled with the F-35 and F-15EX make for quite a trio.

[@richiepurucker7603]

The f35’s best trait is it’s ability to act as the QB of an attack.relaying information is one of the most underrated aspects of war,especially in the air. Those 3 fighters in the air at once and communicating autonomously is going to be unfair.

Are certain that what you’re talking about is the newly unveiled B-21 and not the B-2? Procurement orders for the Raider in Fiscal year 2023 hasn’t started yet. Heck, the Raider is still being tested. Moreover, what’s your source for the defense budget? Expected amount for F.Y. 2023 is only at $889 billion.

so im shipping out to the navy soon and they gave me this book on how to prepare for boot camp as well as other information about the military including depictions of silhouettes of different types of ships and aircraft, one of them straight up looked like a ufo and was just called “experimental” but the bomber in this video seems to match the silhouette in the book, thought that was interesting.
