The new generation stealth bomber B-21 Raider is presented in the USA, but the issue with the dimensions of the compartments for hypersonic missiles has not been resolved

The new strategic bomber B-21 Raider was presented by the American military-industrial company Northrop Grumman, as the company reports on its social network account.

The presentation of the newest US Air Force aircraft took place at the company's plant in Palmdale, California. The event was attended by the head of the Pentagon, Lloyd Austin. This was reportedly the first public presentation of a US Air Force bomber in 34 years. The last time the Air Force presented the B-2 Spirit strategic bomber in this way was in 1988.



The B-21 Raider is a continuation of the line of stealth bombers with advanced camouflage technology. According to the developers, the B-21 Raider is the world's first bomber, not even the fifth, but the sixth generation. The aircraft is capable of carrying along with conventional and nuclear weapons. In the future, it is planned to arm it with hypersonic missiles. True, now the question arose of how the dimensions of the internal compartments fit under them. According to some reports, for those hypersonic missiles that are being tested on a carrier such as the B-52, the internal compartments of the B-21 Raider are not suitable. It turns out that a strategic-type stealth bomber will carry them on an external sling? Strange decision. Or you will have to change the dimensions of the missiles themselves.

The first bombing flight will be made next year, although according to the initial plans of the Air Force command, it was supposed to take place as early as 2019.

As the American publication 19FortyFive wrote earlier, the main goal of the B-21 Raider is to break through the air defense of a potential enemy - Russia and China.

    By what criteria? And what about not the tenth generation right away? I understand that PR is needed, but not by the same amount. In my opinion, this is an improved and cheaper version of the B-2.

    The aircraft uses cloud technologies that allow creating its “digital twin” to control the performance of combat missions. The B-21 Raider is named after Lieutenant Colonel James Doolittle, who during World War II commanded a bombing operation against Japan in response to the attack on Pearl Harbor. Ellsworth (South Dakota).

    The cost of the bombers is unknown. Previously (in 2010), the Air Force called the price of $ 550 million per unit, subject to the purchase of a batch of 100 pieces. Adjusted for inflation, the cost of one B-21 Raider today is $753 million, but this is just a preliminary estimate.
    Kathy Warden, chief executive of Northrop Grumman, which is developing the Raider, said that although the aircraft looks like a B-2 on the outside, this resemblance completely disappears inside. We are talking about completely new computing capabilities of the systems installed on board, and advanced software.


    Other innovations include improved materials and coatings to make it even more invisible, new ways to control electromagnetic radiation, with which the B-21 Raider can deceive enemy radars and disguise itself as other objects. And finally, new engines. “When we talk about low observability, it's incredibly low observability. You'll hear it, but you won't actually see it," Worden said. She also said that the B-21 Raider will be slightly smaller than the B-2, but at the same time its range will increase. Six B-21 Raiders are currently in production. The Air Force plans to build 100 aircraft that can carry both conventional and nuclear bombs, both with and without a crew. Both the Air Force and Northrop also point to the relatively rapid development of the Raider project, with only seven years from the conclusion of the contract to today's debut.

        What is there to congratulate? You can congratulate its creators with Zumvalt. I think the price will soon increase to 10 billion dollars apiece.
        Note that this destroyer is one of three ships of its class built under a special program. It provided for the construction of 32 Zamvolt-class destroyers, but due to the high cost, the project had to be reduced to three units. The cost of one such ship cost the US treasury $ 9 billion. Although it was initially assumed that the project would cost several times cheaper.

        According to PAK YES.
        According to the Izvestia newspaper, in an article by Anton Lavrov, Roman Kretsul and Alexei Ramm, "Package agreement: the latest bomber has been scheduled for production. The next stage in the development of the world's most modern strategic missile carrier has begun," the Russian stealth bomber PAK DA (a promising aviation long-range aviation complex) should go into production in 2027. Preliminary tests are scheduled for April 2023, and state tests are scheduled for February 2026. This is stated in the contract of the Tupolev Design Bureau for the implementation of development work (R&D) to create means of rescuing the crew of the newest "strategist", a copy of the document is at the disposal of Izvestia [meaning the document from the public procurement website].

          If I have a printer and I print pieces of paper with my portrait, and the rest of the world, for one reason or another, is happy to exchange them for any product, then does it really matter to me how much my next toy will cost? As many as I need, I will print as many of my portraits. And I will put down any numbers on them that I want - from one to a hundred. No one will come to me and ask me to exchange my portraits for something real and significant.

          However, I remember there was one weirdo ... So I retired him for my own portraits, so that he would not get under his feet and set a bad example for the rest of the sheep.

            If I have a printer and I print pieces of paper

            I came across an article that they do not just print papers, but create employment and jobs in the country, in particular, hundreds of thousands of subcontractors are used in the production of the F-35, even small businesses are involved, the F-35 provides mass employment with high salaries, in turn, these workers feed the service industry. So printed pieces of paper seep into the people who buy 2 cars per family.
            In the Russian version, funds are often cut up by respected people and do not get to the people.

              The myth about the printing press is as tenacious as the uselessness of stealth technology. I always ask those who believe in the printing press: Why does the printing press not work in Zimbabwe, but it works in the USA? For example, I have 10 million Zimbabwe dollars in one piece of paper, but it doesn’t make me a millionaire.

      Just now I said about the American "Patriots" about the fact that they are "the best of the best among the best." According to my own observations, the strongest athlete is the one who does not participate in competitions. It's easy to be the strongest in front of the cameras and on tamishawari. And the tatami will put everything in its place.

      I think this also applies to the next American "invisibles".
      So far, they are not at war with Russia, while, at best, they are ironing countries with a complete absence or a purely nominal presence of air defense - yes, at least the thirtieth generation, let them be called. Personally, for example, I have never been touched by the fact that the enemy calls himself the strongest.
      God forbid they try - a lot of things in the mind can happen.
      And the money spent on advertising, what a pity it will be! ...

        First of all, they need the B-21 for the war with China - a means to quietly reach the launch line of the CD and launch them without entering the air defense zone. Over the Ocean. From a distance of 500 - 600 km.
        It is unlikely that such will be used against the Russian Federation - for this there is tactical aviation, which is capable of carrying both KR and UAB. In Europe, there are enough airfields against us for tactical aviation. But in the Asia-Pacific region, strategic aviation is needed more than anywhere else. By the way, the V-21 can also be used against our DV, where it will be justified.
        Conclusion - it is necessary to have long-range far-sighted ZGRLS. In our case, this is "Container". such an ZGRLS will not give exact coordinates for guidance, but for opening the beginning of a raid, for timely notification, it’s quite. And then - the take-off of long-range interceptors into the enemy's detection zone, an independent search using the OLS (radar is unlikely to be effective) and the destruction of the CD and their carriers.
        Well, bragging in big politics is a common phenomenon, it has always been that way. Remember - even England recently threatened us ... with a nuclear strike. But this is a country (conditionally) of one bomb ... If it is a Poseidon, then one will actually be enough, and in the time of Khrushchev, FIVE nuclear warheads with a capacity of 5 Mt were enough for England. ... and this is with the then accuracy.

      Well, at the cost, he also succeeded - like three Tu-160M2 in a new building. But the Tu-160M2 has four engines of much greater power than the two of the V-21.
      I don’t know why we will have a PAK YES (unless of course it will), but I’m sure that it’s cheaper by 3-4 times for sure.
      As for hypersonic missiles - those that are currently being tested on the B-52, they will definitely not be on the B-21 - the dimensions are wrong. Most likely in the internal compartments there will be new low-observable missile launchers with a range of 930 km. He will be able to take a lot of them and shoot them before entering the air defense zone. If a GZUR with a ramjet of acceptable dimensions appears later, then maybe they will. But this is not a matter of time.

        There is no such thing as "not noticing". There is a concept "they will not be able to aim weapons until the enemy has shot their ammunition." Again, at what distance they will not be able to. For example, there was an assessment that the S-400 takes F-16 escort for 250 km, and it can accurately shoot at it when the aircraft approaches 120 km, but the F-35 is taken for escort only 45 km away. What seems to be the difference? Air defense systems have always had much more long-range missiles, which created significant problems for the Air Force. Stealth vehicles, taking into account the fact that air defense is less mobile than aviation, can enter the conventional air defense suppression line with minimal losses.

            It seems HARM is not included in the F-35 compartment. But he can drop a planning bomb relatively calmly. Again, as they explained to me, everything needs to be planned, because the stealth projection for an aircraft at different irradiation angles is very different.

                    Shh. Just don’t tell the Americans that they have sucked billions into fiction, otherwise they will inadvertently correct themselves.
                    How exactly does a fighter "see" an enemy aircraft that "turns on" the radar? SPO shows the direction. The maximum can operate with conditional close (strong signal) / far (weak signal). And, imagine, the open source software may not warn you about all scanning modes, and imagine there are several such modes on AFAR. But even if all the same, your open source software has detected the enemy, then you do not have the technical ability to immediately begin escort to defeat aircraft. You can fan out rockets in that direction in the hope that something there will be captured by their seeker. Or you can turn to the side where the light is and arrange a cowboy duel with a stealth fighter. But remember that he has already begun to irradiate you.
                    PS Inconspicuous F-35s do not bomb Syria because they are afraid of S-400s (of which there is already a whole complex at the Russian base), but inconspicuous F-16s are bombed because apparently they are not afraid, did I understand the logic correctly?
                    When putting the F-35 on duty, the Israeli Air Force PSS immediately stated that do not expect press releases on the use of the F-35s.

          You have been misled. The F-35 is taken for escort much earlier, especially with the new MFRS from the S-500, to which all S-400 divisions are now being actively transferred.
          And the F-16 will show up earlier, especially if it has weapons on its hangers (and to whom is it dangerous without weapons?). But there is also a factor in the height of the target flight. it is unlikely that both the F-16 and the F-35 will approach the target at high altitude. and here the radio horizon (line-of-sight to the target) already matters. And with such a flight profile (low-altitude at the target), your numbers may turn out to be relevant.
          Fighter aircraft can fight much more effectively with such (inconspicuous) targets, but with the condition that they are equipped with sufficiently powerful and sensitive OLS.
          The Armed Forces of Ukraine have a certain number of S-300 systems, but they are of little use in the fight against the Kyrgyz Republic. The same may be true for the S-400 in low-profile target flight. Then a sufficient number of short-range air defense systems, but with sufficient BC: Tor, Pantsir-S1 \ SM, Buk-M2 \ M3, and fighter aircraft will be much more relevant. But an early warning from ZGRLS will be a very good help in this.

          Colleague! Well, it’s impossible to approach the assessment of air defense / missile defense in such a "wooden" way! Look at the structure of our air defenses. In addition to ground-based RK, there is also an IA, which, by the way, also has long-range interceptors in the face of the MiG-31BM. Even the first versions of 31 with the antediluvian Barrier saw your STEALTH and moved abroad 500 km above the Arctic Ocean. (Let me remind you that air defense zones are cut by IA and RK along lines, zones, heights!) Therefore, the new MiG-41, which is supposedly already being sculpted, will most likely be ready to meet the RADER at distant frontiers.
          A few words about the means of detection of the B-21. Yes, we have a significant drawback of AWACS of the A-100 type (and even the A-50U), but this does not mean at all that our satellites of the RTR system at the geostationary station are not able to "see" the flattened "pancake" of the RADER in flight, to determine its W / L, K, V and aim long-range interceptors at it ...
          And there are also means of destruction: the R-77K is very welcome, they say, "invisible" ...
          Therefore, let them prepare to meet Russian "surprises" in international airspace. They, by definition, do not shine for any flights into our airspace!

The dimensions are 2-20% smaller than the B-30, the range is about the same. Serial, economical engines. Obviously it is created for constant, routine work.

            In fact, it is sometimes useful to understand the terminology
            Avionics (mixture of aviation and electronics) are electronic systems used on aircraft. Avionics systems include communication, navigation, display and control of several systems, as well as hundreds of systems that are installed on an aircraft to perform individual functions. They can be as simple as a searchlight for a police helicopter or as complex as a tactical system for an airborne early warning platform.

I read a lot, so I try to express myself correctly, and I notice other people's grammatical errors, but I try not to pay attention. Although it is more pleasant to read comments that are written in Russian, and not in "democratic newspeak" "as it is heard, so it is written."

                This does not apply to you personally and to your comments in any way. This is so ... Reasoning on general topics.

                Here, regarding the monoplane and the "flying wing", the question is not grammatical, but terminological, not related to spelling, but to technology. Therefore, I consider the accusation of "grammarnazism" to be inappropriate.

    According to the developers, the B-21 Raider is the world's first bomber, not even the fifth, but the sixth generation.
    Sixth, seventh ... The sixth generation machine, in theory, should be unmanned. Or, as part of a squadron, only one aircraft should be piloted by people, and the rest should work under his strict guidance, but controlled by AI.

    Yeah... The elephant in the china shop still goes unnoticed.
    Where did the Americans get hypersonic technology ?! Started from an empty place!? ...
    They have almost no domestic advanced technologies in aviation, they stole everything! It's the same story about Microsoft and Aple, and then Unix corp and on down the list. So where does such a luxury come from this time, if we have not recorded the loss? ..
    Personally, I don't think China guards its secrets worse than Russia. Quite the opposite.
    And, if no one stole anything in Russia, then did they sell it themselves? ... And such messages were, here, on the Military Review, they indirectly, but very clearly indicated, precisely, the deal.
    The story with the Luna tactical missile system was repeated. Only on a strategic scale. Now you can’t even understand who is worse - Gorbach, who ordered cutting advanced technologies and delayed their implementation for 20 years, or our current guarantor, under which they were sold over the hill, possibly with giblets.

          And even without the Su-57, it was completely suppressed in the very first hours of the operation. In any case, on the line of contact and in the immediate rear. And almost until April, bloomers did not know what to do.
          And then the owners started pushing. Fittings, it must be admitted, are unprecedented. Including air defense, which was literally reborn from nothing. Moreover, such systems, about which it was previously unambiguously stated that this is a taboo, that this will never be given to the ukroreich. Russia believed. Deceived. Again.
          Well, this set Russia back in achieving its goals for a number of months... but now we know what the reality is, and the format of this confrontation is also now clear - accordingly, the understanding of it. what you need to win is also there.

    Kmk, it will soon become clear that without Russian titanium, Lockheeds increase the cost of jerboas by 2 times, and without Chinese iridium - by another 2 times - the total will come out under 2 yards cut for a bomber half as much as B2 (30 thousand loads versus 60 thousand, in pounds) .
    I doubt very much that in the service staff it will be cheaper than the same B2.
    As a result, by the year 35, they will limit themselves to demonstration flights from a couple of squadrons, watching with envy the successes of the Chinese military-industrial complex.

      Shock content: Russian production of titanium until the beginning of 2022 was tied up
      (> 90%) on the supply of titanium ore from abroad, as Russian titanium ores give poor profitability in processing, they are simply poor.
      In 2019, 446 thousand tons of TiO2 (titanium dioxide, titanium dioxide) were mined in Russia, but almost all of it was lost - only 3.1 thousand tons of TiO2 were recovered. Therefore, 75 thousand tons of titanium pigment and 45.9 thousand tons of sponge titanium were produced from foreign raw materials, according to the state report of the Ministry of Natural Resources of the Russian Federation.

      Russian industrialists, including VSMPO-Avisma, bought high-quality raw materials in .... Ukraine.
      Since 2015, Russian imports of titanium (mainly ilmenite) concentrates have been at least 220 thousand tons per year. In 2019, it increased by 13% compared to the previous year and amounted to 304.5 thousand tons. Ukraine remained the main supplier (85% of supplies), supplying ilmenite concentrate from the Malyshevskoye (61-63% TiO2), Volchanskoye (64-66 % TiO2), Irshanskaya group (55-57% TiO2), as well as rutile concentrate (94-95% TiO2) from the Malyshevskoye deposit.

      After February 2022, they buy mainly in Vietnam.
      PS The top four manufacturers of titanium sponge: China by a wide margin, Japan, Australia, Russia
      PSS The main producers of titanium concentrate are: Australia, the United States of America, Norway and Ukraine. The share of Russia in the world production of titanium concentrates is 0,6%, despite the fact that it is in second place in terms of titanium dioxide resources after China
      This is due to the fact that the Russian titanium mineral resource base is dominated by deposits that are generally inferior to foreign ones in terms of production characteristics. The ores of igneous deposits are comparable in quality to foreign analogues, but these deposits are often located in underdeveloped regions. The ores of the giant Yaregsky oil-titanium deposit require a complex and expensive enrichment technology, and alluvial deposits, although comparable in terms of resources and titanium content in ores with foreign counterparts, differ from them for the worse in terms of mining and technical parameters and enrichment.

      PSSS Maybe they bought Russian titanium because it is. was. simply. cheaper?

    Dear gentlemen, in the USA there are not only idiots (there are enough of them everywhere), but also smart, cunning, evil and experienced military men, engineers, politicians. They will not be able to throw hats, you can not even hope. Instead of smiling, look around.
    1. The United States was able to form a hostile (and not just one) state near the borders of the Russian Federation.
    2. The United States was able to draw Russia into a bloody war with an ethnically and historically close people, doing it in such a way that the Russian authorities had no choice at any stage of the process.
    3. For 8 years, the United States has created an effective army from protoukrov, which has been fighting for itself for 10 months and which has yet to be defeated.
    4. The United States quietly got a global high-speed data network (Starlink) and commercial satellites, which, it turns out, work not only for Google Maps.
    5. The USA has a full range of the most advanced developments (the most complete and advanced in the world).

    There is no need to tell that the United States lost all the wars - they left, creating chaos (controlled by them) and destroying statehood, creating problems for their rival neighbors.
    The only way to defeat them is to make continuing the conflict too costly and impractical for the United States. And, even in this case, the victory will be with a bitter aftertaste, as Russia will get it at a high price.

    Russia will win, we have no other way.

    In the future, it is planned to arm it with hypersonic missiles. True, now the question arose of how the dimensions of the internal compartments fit under them. According to some reports, for those hypersonic missiles that are being tested on a carrier such as the B-52, the internal compartments of the B-21 Raider are not suitable.

    Looks like the story is about to take another turn. As with the B-1A, for which there were no missiles that met the requirements of the military, and at the same time fit into the internal compartments, and they could not be created, and those that were and satisfied could only carry the B-52. Yes, they appeared in the 90s, but conditionally strategic with a range of up to 1000 km, although there are a lot of them, but ... until that time, the B-1A turned into the B-1B, the main armament of which was, like in WWII, free-falling bombs.
