 B-21 Raider Bomber 'Numbers Nightmare' Is a Problem
Story by Brandon J. Weichert • 22h • 4 min read
 
Summary and What You Need to Know: The B-2 Spirit, capable of deep-penetrating, nuclear payload delivery, is vital to U.S. defense, but with only 20 units built, it is too valuable to risk. The B-21 Raider, its more advanced successor, offers enhanced stealth and strike capabilities, but like the B-2, it faces budgetary constraints.


-However, with budget challenges, it may struggle to secure a large amount of bombers.

-The failure to build sufficient B-21s could undermine U.S. deterrence, provoking the very conflicts America seeks to avoid.

Can the U.S. Afford to Short-Change the B-21 Raider Like It Did the B-2?
The B-2 Bomber is the only bomber in the US Air Force’s inventory that is capable of penetrating deep into an enemy’s territory, delivering a nuclear payload, and surviving. Its stealth technology has made it a prized asset in the US military’s arsenal. Yet, there are only about 20 of these beauties. Having first entered service in 1997, even as enemy anti-aircraft/area-denial (A2/AD) capabilities have become significant threats to America’s ability to project power globally, the United States Congress has not authorized anymore to be built.

But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

This country can't afford to pay for uncontrolled, unplanned illegal immigration and defense at the same time.  I guess the military is going to have to suffer. :whistle:

To pay for illegals is a choice.

To pay to protect us from harm is not a choice, but a requriement.

Just another way to fail to "...provide for the common defense..."

Amazing how determined those who have sworn to ..."support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same..." are to violate that oath.

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.
