The Reason Why The B-21 Raider Could REPLACE The 6th Generation Fighter Jet!

[@erod19969]

With the NGAD starting at 300+ million a piece, the FB-21 could be a viable alternative. The FB-21 could operate from air bases outside of China's Ballistic Missile range. Paired with the CCA for targeting, it could launch a large number of long range air-to air missiles. An interesting proposal.

well done! anyway, USA will need to develop a 6th gen fighter for USN so the technology develop is assured...a special version of B21 associated to fighter drones can be the best solution in many areas and especially in the indo pacific area..of course it cannot be used as a scramble interceptor but F35 can do it... i have just a dubt about a B21 as a fighter...speed. could it be able to achieve supercruise??
