A next-generation stealth and strategic bomber that defies radar has been heard and read over the past five years, and the United States has commissioned Northrop Grumman Military Industries to produce it in absolute secrecy, with specifications that make it the most advanced in the world. , so that it becomes the backbone of an airborne nuclear force in the future.
Little was previously known about the aircraft, including that it was called the B-21 Raider and that a conglomerate was contracted in 2015 to produce 100 of them in stages, led by American ‘Northorp Grumman’, Al- Arabiya. net learned from new news about it in American and foreign media, and the rest were hidden clues, which opened the appetite of a number of artists, and then produced pictures where they imagined its shape, the most famous of which we see in the video shown.
Until the veil of mystery is removed
As for some information about the B-21, as its name summarizes, it was impossible to obtain for years, until the veil of ambiguity was removed from most of it in a statement released on Monday by Dough Young, vice president of the Bombers Department of the company which has so far produced 6 aircraft for the US Air Force. As hinted in the statement, another big thing is that the aircraft will appear on the face next Friday with its meat and blubber at the company’s military manufacturing facility in Palmdale, California.
What has also been known about the B-21s in the past two days is that the production of one of them cost the US Treasury more than $550 million at 2010 prices, or at a current price that could reach $1 billion if a country purchased it, and that its wing is similar in shape to the wing of the B-2 Spirit bomber that was produced 30 years ago. However, the B-21 is smaller, its design is more accurate, and it’s harder to detect with radar, although the B-2 is also revolutionary and highly stealthy, according to his biography.
Most of the attention in the design and manufacturing stages is to keep the plane’s crew alive and out of harm’s way as much as possible,” with America’s potential adversaries developing and deploying advanced air defense systems every time and new”, so it is capable of accommodating large payloads of conventional and nuclear bombs. Guided with precision, it can penetrate the toughest defenses without harming its crew, just like the B-2 bomber that served in all conflicts over the past 30 years, including the Kosovo intervention and the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan.
