Appears the B-21 Raider will be "unveiled" tonight:

Watch the B-21 Unveiling, Live

The rollout of Northrop Grumman's secret next-gen stealth bomber is slated for 8 p.m. Eastern on Friday, Dec. 2.

Wonder how much they're going to show. Most likely china has either stolen the plans or bought them from some dude name Hunter.

Yeah, but China will make the skin out of rice noodles that get soggy when wet so no problem.

Hell yeah.

Now the MIC can justify a war to see if they work.

I wonder if it can reach space ad shoot down commie satelites? :D

Watching Ukraine you can see how much Russia misses a proper bomber fleet.

They are stuck in a ground war like WW2.

2 or 3 b-1..not even a B-2 and some electronic warfare anti radiation /wild weasel …and they would have 2/3 of Ukraine by now.

And it seems little or no navy.

YOu're not kidding. When I saw the "Concert Atmosphere" usually associated with Taylor Swift/Gaga/Katie Perry followed by political creatures I had to turn it off. Looks cool. Done some inlet work on the B-2 for sure. Not sure what else it brings to the table. Hard to tell about the nose and any detail there on the underside. I'll be interested to see more detail in the future after the political game has been played out.

Actually the navy is becoming more important with china as can be imagined.

Latest war games with china invading Taiwan have china using a blockade area denial vs US navy.

It’s almost impossible for the US to land troops on the mainland as the losses were staggering.

The mission seems to be break the Chinese blockade and or blockade china from sea commerce as the oil/gas/propane from Russia is not nearly enough.

hard to believe we used to have a 600 ship navy...i guess paying off all those college loans of people that majored in worthless subjects is a more worthwhile endeavor, as is paying for illegals to have better life situation than many hard working Americans, let alone all the other "entitlements" we give away. IMO, one is entitled strictly by living in the USA....pre-marxism we had a system of government and economics where the poorest of poor could be wealthy.

I did find it intersting an Admiral was the Joint Chiefs representative.

Yes show the enemy what you have so they can counter it . In a normal world the enemies first view of this bomber would be when the bomb bay doors are opening dropping tonnage . Can the trannies fly it wearing a skirt and heels ?

The bulk of those ships were support and not combat vessels. It takes a lot to keep a fleet going. Merchant marines do a lot now. In addition to growing the company fleet, we need to invest in more support.

I agree fully. This should have never seen the light of day until it couldn’t be denied anymore that it exists.

The 21 has more range than the 2, and a shit-ton of modern tech that didn't exist when the 2 was built. It can also fly autonomously. It looks a lot like the 2 because that is the optimal shape for a flying wing. It is drastically different in many other ways.

Everyone knew what it looked like from drawings.

The 2 designs put fourth were flying wings

Wing shape
Black
Side by side cockpit
Roughly the same size as the B2 for hanger etc

The special stuff is under the skin

I understand all that. The special stuff is the skin as well. But why give anyone anything to see. I mean yeah I get it, deterrence and flexing on China and all but they could have just produced them and the vast majority would just think it’s the B2. Deny deny deny until you can’t anymore.
