The first two B-21 Raider bombers are currently under construction in the California desert. The Air Force’s first new bomber in more than 30 years will replace most of the service’s heavy bombers—with the exception of the immortal B-52H Stratofortress. Although the B-21 Raider has mostly stayed on schedule, the Air Force has pushed the first flight back to the middle of 2022.
