B-21 Raider debut.
So, I'm watching the unveiling of the B-21 Raider.
:Kaleun_Salivating: My first impression is that we stole some tech from the Cylons. :yeah: Don't get too excited yet, N/G is being very cagey in how much they want to show. Besides, first flight isn't going to happen this year. Still, it looks more like an evolution of the B-2. :hmmm: |
The first flight of the B-21 Raider is scheduled for early 2023. Although, I'm sure prototypes have been flown before this. Although similar in appearances to the B-2 Spirit, The Raider sports new technologies not available at the time the B-2 was produced.
It is slightly smaller and said to be more fuel efficient for longer endurance. The " Roll out " will not have the fanfare and press coverage of the B-2. The U.S I'm sure feels the less said and known about this aircraft, the better. :yep: |
Well, we need to understand that the B-21 isn't a fighter looking for customers.
Northrop already cashed the check to design and build it. :arrgh!: |
They should do a test flight over Moscow! :D

Ja, if we only had a war to test it out in? [insert hand ringing here] Is Iraq available to dance? |

However, that drone above must not be better or as good as the B21, it is no interceptor. It must only be good enough tp penetrate radar and defences - THAT is the relevant topic.

How long before someone makes a copy?

I was shocked to read that the B2 has been around for 30 years!!
Time flies. |

Ya know, Neither of or any of you are wrapped real tight or playing with a full deck. Love it. May the bone, er, I mean Scwartz be with you all. We bought the entire Mel Brooks movie set on DVD, including Space Balls and Young Frankenstein. Mel Brooks isn't wrapped real tight either :D. |

They could install "Starforce" on it. That'll show'em! |

Not possible, as today's music sucks. (Proven on Mythbusters) Unless, it was a cover band of the B-52s? Rock Lobster? |
