The latest American "strategist" B-21 Raider will fly in December 2021 of the year




The newest strategic bomber B-21 Raider is being developed in the interests of the US Air Force since 2015, when Northrop Grumman received a contract to create it. Two years later, in the spring of 2017, it was announced the completion of the outline design of the aircraft, after which the stage of creating flight samples began. It is emphasized that, starting from the first flight model, the aircraft will receive systems and software for delivering nuclear strikes. However, in the first few years of service, aircraft will not be certified for the transportation and use of strategic weapons.

As the Deputy Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force, General Stephen Wilson, stated, the first flight of a promising bomber will take place at Edwards Air Force Base in California in early December 2021.

The new bomber was created according to the "flying wing" scheme. Its exact dimensions have not yet been disclosed, but it is known that it will be smaller than the American "strategist" V-2 and larger than the deck drone project UCLASS, the length / wingspan of which is 21 / 52,4 and 11,6 / 18,9 meters, respectively.

The United States Air Force Command expects the first B-21 Raider bombers to go into service in the middle of the 2020's. According to the available information, it is planned to purchase at least one hundred new aircraft, which should gradually replace the outdated strategic bombers B-52 Stratofortress and B-2 Spirit.

The first B-21 Raider will serve at Ellsworth Air Base in South Dakota.

        Probably, it will finally be able to shoot missiles with special stuffing, and not just drop bombs .. Actually, because of this feature, the B-52 fleet is still "afloat", so to speak. Well, as usual, the usual American Wishlist about reducing the cost of maintenance. Those. They want to get a reliable, relatively inexpensive stealth missile carrier and write off the rest of the motley fleet of strategists, because the 52s do not last forever. Let's see what happens this time - after all, after the B-52, they haven't managed to create anything successful in this area yet.

          This is for sure, since the dimensions are less than B-2. And it will not fly too close despite the vaunted stealth technology.

          Therefore, you are most likely right. Will make about 30 pieces or so. And they will say that 1 is as effective as 3 B-2. So there will be a "compromise" for everyone.

And therefore, a series of 100 Riders is how to declare that F-35 will be mass-produced, in the amount of 50 thousand pieces.

            Yes, yes, you say everything correctly: the budget of Russia, according to the "budget rule", is not sent to Western banks and is not invested in "Western securities", but is spent exclusively for the benefit of the country (there are even "national programs to combat poverty" - how! lol ) and the development of its economy and armed forces. Russia is a steadily developing state with an average wage of 500-550 (in the reports of the "truthful" Rosstat wink like: someone ate a chicken, and the other just looked at how he eats, but according to Rosstat, they both ate half a chicken ... Yes ) US dollars, in which half of the population can not afford to buy a second pair of shoes and 75% of the population receive a salary which is barely enough for a minimum of products until the next salary. But in the USA it’s much worse, one poverty, drugs (greetings to Russia, will the Duma get beer out of alcohol legislation soon? wink ), and the freedom to be homeless, yes. Yes hi And in general, the dollar will soon "collapse", and Ukraine will freeze, go around the world, go bankrupt, empty (underline the necessary) ... tongue

                    Sergey, hi, all this is nothing.
                    Crises in the economy happen with an enviable periodicity, and this correctly and inevitably introduces corrections into the economy and schools of managers.
                    Nothing wrong with that.
                    Do not wait for the death of the United States, the European Union
                    Firstly, they themselves want to live, therefore they will have enough knowledge and resources to overcome these crises (as has already happened more than once)
                    Secondly - as in the old proverb - while the fat dries up - the thin one dies - what is this about?
                    Oh brakes that in the event of a crisis, the Russian economy will suffer much more than the above-mentioned countries of fat people.
                    Regular predictions about the death of the United States - then appear when the former, certified by * super experts * - for some reason do not come true.
                    (and maybe the sea of ​​experts), then almost every day.
                    the United States will not die, the European Union will not die.
                    Maybe someday, but not in the near future.
                    And if this happens, there are no prerequisites for Russia to take the first place (or the leading one) on this ashes.
                    Hypothetically, if this happens, China will crawl through, India will be purely in numbers.
                    Having such neighbors as new hegemons - I don’t think you will like their claims.
                    They definitely won’t consider you equal to themselves, and even less so rely on the old diplomacy.
                    What is preferable to you - to have Europe and the USA in hypothetical enemies, or a new hegemon * friend * China.
                    Do you think China will invite Russia to share the world pie with it - it's ridiculous.
                    I’m sorry to tell him my companion, who is equal in economics and population to 10% of him, but with ambitions not just equal, but the type of leader.
                    In the old diplomacy, Russia is perceived as the leading one and, in general, it is given its rightful place.
                    In the new diplomacy, this will not happen.
                    You are not pulling either in economic development or in human resources.
                    A victory in the Second World War they will definitely be on the drum.

    Externally, the aircraft is very similar to those in service with the B-2, which, according to senior military analyst at the University of Lexington and Pentagon adviser Loren Thomson, is due to the fact that the new project actually eliminates the shortcomings of the B-2, while preserving all its advantages. However, all the same, these two aircraft are noticeably different from each other.

    In the design of the new bomber, Northrop Grumman relies on stealth. According to Thomson, in some angles the B-2 was clearly visible for enemy radar stations; In the case of the B-21, invisibility will be foreshortening.
    On the new bomber, the engines will be located closer to the rudimentary fuselage, while the engines of the General Electric F118-GE-100 of the B-2 aircraft are located at a certain distance from the central section of the airframe. The new project involves the use of oblique air intakes instead of "notched" ones. In addition, B-21 will receive engine jet gas coolants designed to reduce infrared visibility. It is curious that such devices were present in the early images of the future B-2, but were not included in the final version of the project. The engines will likely be a modification of the F-135 installed on F-35 Joint Strike Fighter fighters. This will allow both to obtain the required characteristics, and to reduce the cost of engine production for two aircraft.
    Unlike previous cars of its class, the new B-21 should be able to quickly adapt to new missions of one kind or another. The specifics and features of the required architecture should guarantee the ability to easily and quickly upgrade equipment, as well as facilitate the integration of new tools.
    For example, in the cargo compartment, in addition to weapons, it will be possible to place observation devices, target designations, etc. In addition, the B-21 will be able to become the carrier of special communications equipment, unmanned aerial systems, electronic intelligence systems or electronic warfare.

        As I understand it, complexity (enhanced functionality + communication) is the main priority, and it should be implemented at a higher level than previous models of bombers. All aviation (including UAVs), as conceived by strategists, should act as a single unit, together with the SS and Navy. The fact that the project initially provided for a leading, if not absolute application of artificial intelligence systems, hints that unmanned versions will probably be the main ones in future versions of B-21.
        Information about the arsenal of weapons is scarce, but it is certain that all the shortcomings of the previous bombers will be taken into account. In my opinion, B-21 is the evolution of B2, which will include the most advanced technological developments.

And in the USA, airplanes are one company, missiles are another, and there are zero interactions between each other, the coordinator in the person of the Ministry of Defense, for some reason, does not work or does not work as it should, as a result, one does not fit into another.

          The B-52 also does not. But with the B-52, the concept is completely different: first, air defense is suppressed,
          complete domination in the air is won, and then they fly in and
          40 tons of bombs are dumped.
          And the Raider, as conceived, passes the air defense unnoticed. Including early air defense
          warnings (meter range radars). And escort fighters
          he needs only as a safety net -
          if bombers run into interceptors by accident.

            You can put forward a lot of arguments against them.

            A good clarification, otherwise I thought sho write bedtime stories.
            There are no arguments against it, because no one has risked and will not dare to check the full-fledged air defense of a really strong country with their helluva lot of "invisible" airplanes.

    It seems the Americans wrote that the main requirement is the price is not higher than 300 million, for comparison, 160m2 costs 16 billion rubles (260 million)

      Not 300, but 550. But there are no problems with money.

        It is 300 or even cheaper for 175 bombers who want to spend 50 billion including development. Read English-language sites, not Russian ones. Even on Wikipedia English it

    And they will bring it to the series for another 15 years. Despite the fact that the series may turn out to be very small, given the cost of this device.

    Wow! As if the story of the Su-57 read.

    With a hangover do not go online. Devils will not be tempted.

    It seems that the technology of the flying wing is becoming the hallmark of aviation of the future. They were able to debug control technologies, aircraft made using this technology became reliable. Not many countries can build such technological aircraft. And the gap in high technology will only widen.

    The chain lacks a stealth fighter with a sufficient range to accompany the R-21. And no longer have time to develop it before the release of the Raider.
