One of the most anticipated events in the aerospace world is set to happen in just one month.

On Dec. 2, the world will finally get a glimpse at the Northrop Grumman B-21 Raider, a new stealth bomber aircraft that has been described by its manufacturer as "the most advanced military aircraft ever built." The company was first awarded the contract to build the B-21 for the United States Air Force (USAF) in 2015, and its entire production has been shrouded in secrecy ever since.

That secrecy is about to come to an end. The United States Air Force confirmed in an Oct. 20 statement that the B-21 will be revealed in a Dec. 2 ceremony at Northrop Grumman's production facility in Palmdale, California. "The unveiling of the B-21 Raider will be a historic moment for our Air Force and the nation," Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Charles Q. Brown, Jr. said in the statement.

Little is known about the capabilities or configuration of the B-21. What little has been publicly disclosed, according to a USAF fact sheet, is that the B-21 will be capable of crewed and uncrewed flight and will be able to carry and deploy both conventional and nuclear weapons.

In addition, the stealth bomber is said to be capable of carrying out intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions (ISR), conducting electronic warfare (such as jamming or spoofing radar and communications systems), and will feature an "open systems architecture" that will allow it to be upgraded with new capabilities in the future.

Doug Young, sector vice president and general manager at Northrop Grumman Aeronautics Systems, said in a company statement published on Sept. 20 that the B-21 "showcases the dedication and skills of the thousands of people working every day to deliver this aircraft" and is "a product of pioneering innovation and technological excellence.”

According to the same statement, there are six B-21 test aircraft in various stages of final assembly at the company's Palmdale plant. While the USAF plans for the Raider's first flight to take place in 2023, military officials have yet to announce firm target dates.

The B-21 Raider's unveiling ceremony on Dec. 2 will be an invitation-only event.

USA to the world

Sometimes when I imagine Russia struggling with Ukraine, and still wants to go to war with the U.S.A, all I can do is just laugh!


Putin is so anxious to know why Americans don't have free healthcare!

Russia already have aircraft with such capabilities

Common, stop displaying public show of ignorance. Whick kind nonsense assumption are you making? Comparing Russia to U.S.A with highly advanced tech weapons? No country in the World can make use of the Nuclear weapons in their arsenal. That will totally obliterate every thing on the planet.

EmmaJnr1:

Same hungry Russia!

Hello! When it comes to air, land or Naval, America is a century ahead of Russia!

Onluy Nuclear weapon makes them a force, and same applies to North Korea!

Take away Nuclear weapons from them and The Nigerian Armed forces will decimate the entire Russian army and fleets!

We both have seen the show of shame in Ukraine. Its now even acquiring Kamakazi`s from Iran A world power indeed!

No nation on Earth will make use of Nuclear weapons.
The only option is to design high calibre and advanced tech weapons that can deliver massive payload in seconds. The United States remains the only country in the World with such high capacity.

So what you guys do is to copy and paste other people's original write ups?

I just made this post and now am seeing someone else putting it up as his own,na wa o for Nairalanders

Russia has the latest stealth Bomber Park-DA that can conduct successful operations from Russian territory and within their air defense without flying to enemy territories. Imbued with hypersonic speed and long range hypersonic nuclear capabilities, it is a night nightmare to NATO. It’s most advanced arsenals is being prepared for War with NATO and not Ukraine. Remove America from NATO, Russia rubbish them and their fake weapons that has failed many times in Ukraine.

Terrifying B2 SPIRIT... The ghost that shock saddam Hussein. Iraqi forces will never forget the terror they experienced that night on Baghdad. It was as if bombs were dropping from thin air, chaotic for them, launching Sam at an invisible ghost! Only with those missiles dropping to compound their woes.

EmmaJnr1:

No they don't.
Only China is trying to develop one H20 but still yet the capabilities of isn't up to the 1980 B2 not to talk of the B21 ulta modern stealth bomber.

If Russian should develop one it should be blow or on par with the B2 not this B21.
Infact most of them are using the B2 engineering format. A flight wing, no vertical tail, top engine intake, and flat bottom edge design.

Xian H20 is already in development and flying tests will start very soon. Russia too is already developing Tupolev Pak DA

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupolev_PAK_DA

stealth strategic bomber which will begin its own air tests next year. The Russian PAK DA looks cool and its in a position to rival America's B-21.
