US B-21 Raider Long-Distance Bomber Program Remains Shrouded in Secrecy

[Anonymous 14]

I say this bird is already in concept/demo mode…What say you?

“The US government released a new study on its next-generation long-range bomber program in response to concerns raised about transparency – but the new report is heavily redacted and provides little useful information.
So little is known about the B-21 Raider program that the Department of Defense (DoD) won’t even reveal how much it costs out of fears that adversaries might learn too much. On November 8, a Freedom of Information Act request revealed that a 2015 DoD audit of the program provided only one recommendation, namely to create a centralized platform to track changes to the program.”

I would say so . Look at the f117 . First one had parts cannablised from other planes some parts . The f111 is one if i remeber rightly .

I thought the concept on the seat dropping down in bombing mode was a very clever concept .

This new plane would have some magic s~~~ on it thats for sure .

But like the cold war there will be alot of bulls~~~ thrown around for the pshycological part .

Like the mig 25 . Well till victor belenko f~~~ed of in one and touched down in japan . Good story you would love it .

Just think there is alot of false information going to be thrown out there especially in the current state of the world .

This pressure cooker is close to blowing .

THE PLANTATION HAS NOW TURNED INTO THE KILLING FIELDS . WOMAN ARE NOW ROLLING CAMBODIAN STYLE .

I agree on all points Blade. There was a “plane” over Oregon in my country that was in and out of visual and radar contact very recently.

F-15’s were sortied to intercept and i.d but were ordered RTB. My mind ponders if this was not a demo/concept run of this aircraft.

The B-21 program is moving forward.

I beg to ask what are they defending?

This society that deems us 2nd class citizens with a 1st class wallet drained of money, equity, and maxed out credit to keep up with their endless spending?

Doesn’t N Korea and others do the same thing with their peasants?

I fail to see a difference outside the colors, shapes, and symbols of the flags.

The only thing I wonder about this is the “stealth” part. Stealth technology based primarily on X-band radar evasion is rapidly becoming outdated with radars and infrared moving into new territory. Russia and China are putting a lot of research into fusing infrared targeting with L-band radar searching. Could be a lethal combination.

My gut feeling is that “stealth” as a concept needs to evolve beyond just shaping the aircraft. In the next two decades I bet “stealth” aircraft, even the F-22, will be obsolete unless they evolve their ECM in radar, infrared, and visual aspects. The Russians in particular are heavily invested in this line of research.

That’s all just academic, though. In the larger picture, I agree with Tower 100%.

US military R&D is a huge military contract black hole. Nothing revolutionary has been developed since the mid 80’s.

Label a tin can TOP SECRET and 10 billion dollars will be poured into it. Congress will keep signing the checks.

Also this space age fancy tech. Always has bs logistical efficiency.

I’m thinking these birds may have this tech..just a thought.
