In the United States, they named the reasons for the delay in the creation of the B-21 stealth bomber

Former senior Pentagon official Frank Kendall, who was responsible for the implementation of the program to create a promising American strategic bomber B-21, doubted the implementation of the program in the new planned time. According to the ex-official, the previously set deadlines for the adoption of the B-21 Raider in service by the 2020 year, "are not realistic."

An article was published in Aviation Week magazine stating that Frank Kendall stated that the program was unrealistic for several reasons. Firstly, Kendall believes that for the adoption of a new "strategist" in the US Air Force, the program "initially did not have enough funds." Secondly, the extreme secrecy of the program does not allow for the involvement of many private companies in the project that would "help with technology."

It is noted that with the most optimistic forecasts, the B-21 stealth bomber in prototype format will fly in December 2021. And this is just a prototype. When the B-21 will be adopted by the US Air Force, the former US Department of Defense official did not predict.

Kendall:

I will be surprised if they manage to get the product at that price that is stated in the contract by this time.

The creation of a promising stealth bomber began to be discussed in the USA back in 2001. Then they began to prepare a program codenamed "Bomber-2018". The name spoke for itself: they planned to put the latest strategic bomber into service with the US Air Force by the 2018 year. But the deadlines were broken. After allegations of a lack of funds and new requests to Congress for additional funding, the deadlines were moved to the beginning of the 2020 year. Now they are going to postpone these terms, noting that the reason is not only a “lack of funding”, but also a “hindering extreme secrecy”.

The point of the article is that "B-21" is not ready!

No word is not ready. There is little money
Yes, and the concept now. Against the Papuans onli, which simple B-52 equipped with axes handle

[TermNachTer]

The meaning of the article - "B - 21" is very much not ready. Because if next year the prototype is only supposed to fly, but not the fact that it will. That is not one year before being put into service. And the key phrase is "insufficient funding." If "B - 2" turned out to be super expensive, then in this case even scary to think. In general, the budget division is proceeding at a rapid pace.

[Tusv]

Quote: TermNachTER

then in this case it’s even scary to think. In general, the budget dribbling is at an accelerated pace.

Well, firstly, not the budget derbane, but its development So in Russia it is called. Secondly, he brought TK to Ryder below. With such characteristics that the Paramilitary does not see and Thirty first Moigs will be destroyed. Blessed is he who believes

[TermNachTer]

Mastering (deriban) is everywhere. Alas, this is a fact, when there is a heap of draw (budget) money - I really want to pinch off a little bit. But in my opinion, for mattress toppers, this greatly goes beyond common sense. The cost of the F - 22 turned out to be awesome, we decided to make a "cheap" F - 35, which turned out to be not very cheap either. Aircraft carriers "Ford" also turned out to be much more expensive than they wanted.
Characteristics in general are the tenth. Who checked the F - 22 or F - 35 in a real situation? Well, except for the semi-fantastic tales about their use in Syria or Afghanistan, where air defense never existed at all.

[Tusv]

The cost of the F - 22 turned out to be awesome, we decided to make a "cheap" F - 35,

A Penguin is cheaper than French Rafael
Now I’m thinking if Russia really is a gas station. Which fighter can I buy, the price does not count?

[TermNachTer]

As I understand it, "Rafale" is more expensive than "penguin" - this is only for India. Inexplicably. In all other cases, it is cheaper. Who will buy a 4th generation car if you can buy a 5th one cheaper?

[Tusv]

India is such a state. Even in the Union. There are films Good and Bad: Hollywood, Soviet, and there are Indian cinema. The best is Disco Dancer.
My question is. Be We India, which fighter We would choose

[TermNachTer]

Elementary logic dictates that the Russian. Both MiG and Su, for different purposes. They have mastered l / s, there is a base for repair and modernization, especially since Russia, unlike its Western friends, is ready to transfer a significant part of technologies. Moreover, the majority of them are in the Indian Air Force and as the "jaguars" and "mirages" are written off, it is necessary to unify them for two or three types of machines, preferably one or two manufacturers.

[sharp-lad]

Since when did the F 35 become the fifth generation? From your own then to sound cruising speed!

[TermNachTer]

This question is not for me, but for sellers and buyers. If the mattresses say that it’s the 5th generation, and the buyers believe, it means, well, almost the fifth.

[antivirus]

the rich also cry

[Fedorov]

More than one five-year plan will be put into operation and finished off, as with the F-35 and the Ford Aircraft Carrier, and the roach will snicker .... and not the fact that the program will not be closed.

[Mountain shooter]

Cost overruns for a program and super secret are links in one chain. Try to check the appropriateness of the costs.
At the same time, the development of radar technology makes the advantage of stealth systems more and more ephemeral.
At the same time, the possibility of the appearance of whole swarms of cheap Drones - kamikaze, increasingly fast and deadly, changes the idea of ​​wars of the near future ...

[Andrey Chistyakov]

"Vsepalschiki" - will you scold the United States for missing the deadline? Or only on Russia come off?

Yeah. Former always because you pay them a pension at the level of the former salary
And so. Terms of Reference for Ryder.
Our radars should not see Ryder, but if they did, then he should fight back from Miga -31 and all this for a bunch of lousy Megabaks . Four times cheaper than the B-2! (And with modernization it’s 6) !!!, which can neither

Guys. S-400 is just a single division, which without any connection can knock down targets. So it was designed. But in the territory of the Russian Federation there is a connection. With great respect I treat RTVeshniki that even the outdated Osa will spot the target easily and naturally.

[Fedorov]

"Osa-AKM" - like a knife .. I was the commander of these lamp devices. She then zafigachit, but in the absence of active interference, the indicator is all in the backlight, you can only hope for the skill of the operators. True, after a year of service, vision falls. It's like sitting in front of a CRT back to back. And the commander of the crew sees only the buttons on the panel about the capture of the target from the commands of the operators and swears good obscenities, well, he has a button to start. And the driver needs to keep his foot on the gas, if something separates from the target and disappears - an anti-radar missile, it is necessary to bring down.

[Jerk]

Oh, damn it, it's not funny already! In the 30 years since the collapse of the USSR, the United States has failed to do anything at all! Nothing at all, starting with the ISS, which was going to be done WITHOUT the Russian Federation at all, they say, without snotty slippery - the United States, Eurocosmosgenstvo, Canada, Japan ... 5 years of chatter and heart-rending cry - "Russia, help!"

Oh, damn it, but not funny already! For the 30 years since the collapse of the USSR, the United States didn’t do anything at all!

It’s just how they all turned out, take a look at how a modern person lives, even a Chinese person. He lives in American, with a smartphone, with the Internet, with social networks.
Yes, they are Chinese, but modeled on the American model.

China therefore sculpts its Chinese

But the modern world, reality, it is built by these "Google".

So what did they do? To wage a war with the whole world, trade and not only? Ancient Rome also did exactly the same ... It ended badly.

He lives American

Rather, America now lives in Chinese. With a Chinese smartphone, on credit. In the sense, not only she is trying hard on credit. and also every resident of the country - a loan from banks.
And it's not about that. but they don’t know how to make a nifiga. No fighters? The F-35 has not been adopted yet ... There is no bomber either. There is no air defense, which the Hussites have clearly shown ... They are eating up what is left of the country 30 years ago. Well, that’s okay, now the nuclear power plants will begin to shut down and they will have to drown the dung at home. And Chinese smartphones, in order to live in an American way, are charged by manually spinning the dynamo. For 30 years, with a hook, not a single block has been built - they ARE NOT ABLE, and energy consumption is only growing. Are Dark Ages on the way?

the earlier deadlines for the adoption of the B-21 Raider in service by 2020, "are not realistic."

Yes, Trump may not wait for the newest, "super beautiful", high-tech and absolutely invisible bomber in his post.

[voyaka uh]

Trump will not wait, that's right.
But Raider is a simple project. Nothing fundamentally new.
Glider - a reduced B-2, engines and avionics - from the F-35.
No breakthrough technologies to stall on.

[TermNachTer]

When you really want money, there is always where to stall - billions by 10 - 15, or even more.

[Berkut24]

This is already a system. Any US arms program in a year begins to suck in more money than originally planned. The suspicion arises that all these programs are projects to extract money from the budget. And if, as a result, it is still possible to do something, then a new program immediately begins to suck money to fine-tune this product. Then new money is required to transfer this technical misunderstanding from the category of "conditionally combat readiness" to the state "you can try to apply, but without contact with a potential enemy."

[sharp-lad]

A probable partner just now has a problem with the withdrawal of unsecured "papers" from the economy. Isn't it a way? Such military-building programs with mind-boggling budgets are constantly frustrating the plans of experts who predict the imminent collapse of the United States because of the dollar printing press! It seems to me that soon there will be programs to create something worth two or three trillion pieces of paper at once, just to save the US economy! Well, a sort of sewer truck for pumping out specific shit, whatever it is overwhelmed.

[Nikolaevich I]

Hmmm ... So what? To sympathize with "civilians" now? Or think about yourself, your loved ones? And also to think ... maybe it's better "a tit in the hands" (Tu-160M2 ...) than "a crane somewhere in the sky ..." (a kind of "semi-mythical" PAK YES ...)?

[NF68]

The usual thing. Few people manage without increasing the time and cost of development.
