The US’s newest stealth bomber could be Putin’s worst nightmare. Unveiled only recently, the nuclear-capable B-21 Raider is one of the most advanced aircraft ever designed. Produced by Northop Grumman, the Raider is the first new American bomber in over 30 years. It uses extremely powerful computer systems for guidance, and is coated in classified materials undetectable by even the most modern air defenses. Other advances include controls on its electronic emissions to spoof radar systems, and new propulsion technology for even longer missions. 6 Raiders are currently in production, but the Air Force eventually plans to build a fleet of 100. And the overall cost of the program is unknown, but the average price per plane is over $750 million. Will these bombers give the US a decisive new strategic advantage over countries like Russia and China? Let us know what you think below.
