American press: B-21 Raider bomber will be the "worst nightmare" for Russian air defense
Russian air defense systems will face great difficulties in the future, the latest American B-21 bomber will become "the worst nightmare" for Russia, says the author of an article for the US National Interest magazine Chris Osborne.
The latest American stealth bomber, the B-21, will pose many challenges to Russian air defense systems, Osborne writes. The aircraft has unique characteristics, most of which will never be declassified, and it itself will pose a threat to "any target anywhere in the world."
The author, citing a statement by an unnamed senior US Air Force official, asserts that even the Russian S-400 and S-500 systems, which the Russians claim can destroy stealth aircraft, will be “passed over” in front of the B-21. In order to locate an American forward bomber, the Russian military will need more sensitive radars, which they do not have. At the same time, he did not rule out that tests of the B-21 are carried out on air defense systems similar in their characteristics to Russian and Chinese complexes.
Osborne says.
Note that this is not the first praise of the promising bomber B-21 Raider in the American media. The same TNI magazine publishes the second or third article about the "best in the world" aircraft. Moreover, they are published under different authors, but the content is almost the same. Each argues that Russian air defenses are unable to detect a "stealth bomber" due to its advanced characteristics. However, the same in the United States continues to assert in relation to the "invisible" F-35.
Time will tell how it will be, and so far the American "worst nightmare" has not even made its first flight.
