New B-21 Raider Will Never Be the Stealth ‘Battleship’
Key Points and Summary - Contrary to claims that drones and AI are making manned aircraft obsolete, the B-21 Raider represents a vital evolutionary step in a timeless strategic capability.
-The fundamental character of war has not changed, and the B-21 is not a revolutionary "game-changer" but a more advanced tool for the enduring missions of deterrence and precision strike.
-It is not a vulnerable "battleship" but a necessary platform that incorporates human judgment, which drones and AI cannot replace in the complexities of warfare, ensuring U.S. air dominance for decades.

But advocates of this viewpoint are just as wrong today as those touting an RMA were in the 1990s.
