The US Air Force releases the first official photos of the 'stealth super plane' B-21!

The B-21 Raider bomber, also known as the "Raider", is a new generation stealth strategic bomber developed by the US Air Force. This is considered an important step forward in military aircraft manufacturing technology, providing superior capabilities compared to previous generations.

Although snapshots of B-21 Raider nuclear bombers in flight had been previously taken by the public in the vicinity of Edwards Air Force Base in California, the photos were considered unsourced. official. And at the present time, the US Air Force has released the first official images of this aircraft in the air.

The B-21 possesses an optimal stealth design, applying the most advanced technology to minimize the possibility of being detected by enemy radar. Thanks to the combination of advanced composite materials and sophisticated aerodynamic structure, the B-21 has the ability to "hide" effectively against the most advanced defense systems.

The aircraft, expected to become the third arm of the US nuclear deterrent in the 2050s, has quietly transitioned from ground testing to flight testing around November 2023, although though officials were reluctant to admit this until the video started appearing on X (formerly Twitter).

At the present time, the US Air Force has officially released three new images of the B-21, with two images flying in the air. 

These images are by no means a complete technical summary of the B-21, but they do give us some new insights, including clear views of its pointed nose, stealthy edges of the flying wing fuselage and radar deflection design with underbody covers. Also visible is a red painted pitot tube that is not part of the operational equipment but was used to collect flight data during testing.

The B-21 is likened to a "ghost" in the sky with superior stealth capabilities compared to its predecessor, the B-2 Spirit. Thanks to the application of new generation stealth technologies, the B-21 has a significantly smaller radar reflection area, making it much more difficult to detect by enemy radar systems.

The B-21 plays an important role in deterring enemies and protecting US national security. Stealth capabilities, impressive range and diverse arsenal turn the B-21 into a powerful nuclear deterrent and a powerful strategic strike force in potential conflicts.

Additionally, the engine air intake is visible and a hatch on the top surface could be an air intake for the auxiliary engine.

The B-21 Raider is designed to operate in tandem with and eventually replace the B-1, B-2 and B-52 bombers that currently form the airborne component of America's nuclear bomber triad. America. Its stealthy design and high Mach speed will allow it to penetrate enemy airspace to carry both nuclear and conventional payloads. It is expected to enter service by the middle of this decade with a production target of at least 100 aircraft.

"We are in the flight test program, and the flight test program is going well,"  said Andrew Hunter, Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Air Force for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics.

The B-21 is equipped with an advanced jet propulsion system , providing it with intercontinental range without refueling. This ability allows the B-21 to carry out long-range bombing missions without relying on military bases near the target. The birth of the B-21 affirmed the United States' leading position in the field of military technology. This aircraft is a testament to the innovative and technologically advanced capabilities of the US defense industry, and is a symbol of US military power on the international stage.

The B-21 Raider, known as the "Night Bandit" , is the pride of the US Air Force, marking a breakthrough in stealth bomber manufacturing technology. This aircraft, developed by Northrop Grumman, promises to become the backbone of the US strategic bomber force for decades to come.

In fact, this aircraft is designed to carry a variety of nuclear and non-nuclear weapons, including bombs, missiles and precision-guided weapons. The ability to carry large payloads and a diverse arsenal turns the B-21 into a powerful war machine, capable of attacking targets around the world.

In addition, the B-21 is integrated with advanced artificial intelligence systems, giving it the ability to automate many flight and combat tasks. Thanks to this, the crew can focus on more complex tactical tasks, improving combat effectiveness.

The B-21 Raider is a new generation stealth super bomber , representing the pinnacle of military aircraft manufacturing technology. With a breakthrough design, outstanding stealth capabilities, impressive range and diverse arsenal, the B-21 promises to become the main strategic bomber force of the US Air Force for decades to come. , contributing to protecting national security and the United States' position as a military power globally.
