The B-21 Raider, America’s next-generation stealth strategic bomber able to carrying nuclear weapons, was proven flying at excessive altitude for the primary time.
On the twenty second (native time), the US Air Power launched three photographs exhibiting the B-21’s take a look at flight, takeoff, and a view contained in the hangar. Beforehand, the B-21’s first take a look at flight footage, launched in November final 12 months, confirmed it working on a runway and was filmed from the bottom. That is the primary time a easy take a look at flight has been made in public, beginning at cruising altitude.
If you happen to take a look at an image of it flying above the clouds, the distinctive spherical form of the B-21 is clearly seen. “The flight take a look at program is progressing as we deliberate,” the Air Power mentioned.

The B-21 is the subsequent era bomber developed by the US army after 33 years. It’s meant for use within the mid-2020s. The B-21 has a payload of 13.6 tonnes, which is half of the present B-2, however its stealth efficiency has been significantly improved and superior applied sciences are being built-in, so it’s referred to as the ‘digital bomber’.
The B-21 is the primary weapon launched within the ongoing US effort to reform nuclear deterrence in response to China’s rising nuclear energy. It might probably take off from the US mainland and secretly strike anyplace on this planet. It will also be armed with precision guided standard weapons and may be operated with out a crew. If the B-2, developed 30 years in the past, is detected on radar as the dimensions of a fowl, the B-21 is thought to be the dimensions of a golf ball.
The US army plans to supply and function 100 B-21s. The manufacturing value per unit is $692 million (about 942.9 billion gained).
The USA Air Power mentioned, “The B-21 is a stealthy, penetrating bomber with excellent long-term survivability and can play an necessary function in defending America’s allies and companions all over the world.” Accordingly, the B-52 is anticipated to be deployed to the Korean Peninsula throughout joint ROK-US workouts or within the occasion of a high-intensity North Korean provocation.
