Air Force releases most detailed images yet of secretive $700M Raider nuclear stealth bomber

By Michael Lee, Fox News
Published Sep. 17, 2023

The Air Force released new images of its secretive new stealth nuclear bomber, the B-21 Raider, showing the aircraft at never-before-seen angles.

Images of the aircraft, which is being developed by Northrop Grumman, were posted to the Defense Visual Information Distribution Service website last week, showcasing the new bomber from both the front and from a quartering angle.

The new stealth bomber is being rolled out to replace the current B-1 Lancer and B-2 Spirit and the aircraft is expected to enter service by 2027.

By 2040, the B-21 is expected to completely replace the older bombers.

“The B-21 Raider will be the backbone of the bomber fleet and will incrementally replace the B-1 and B-2 bombers as sufficient numbers of B-21s are available,” reads a description of the aircraft on the DVIDS website. “The state-of-the-art bomber will provide survivable, long-range, penetrating strike capabilities to deter aggression and protect the United States, allies, and partners.”

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
And the CCP probably knows every detail.

Better hang on to the Lancer and the Spirit for a while. At least the Lancer was built before the CCP had infiltrated the highest levels of our Government.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
