The representative of the US Air Force Deborah Lee James presented in Orlando a visual project of a promising strategic bomber LRS-B (B-21), developed by Northrop Grumman, reports Look with reference to Fox News.

US Air Force presented a visual project of a long-range bomber B-21


James noted that "B-21 will be able to deliver air strikes anywhere in the world." She also recognized his resemblance to the bomber, B-2 created by the same company.

“The main features of the bomber’s appearance have been leaked to the press for a long time. It also became known that the flight range of the LRS-B (B-21) without refueling will exceed 9 thousand kilometers. He should be able to fly to China and Russia. However, its bomb load will be less than that of its predecessors. This is mainly due to the need to reduce the price of a new car, ”the publication reported.

Earlier, the head of the Senate Committee on the US Armed Forces, John McCain, said he would not "authorize the project of the long-range strike bomber B-21" due to the fact that "there were costs beyond contractual arrangements."

Last year, the Pentagon’s plans to build 100 aircraft of this kind were reported. The cost of the first dozens of 2-s machines should be $ 511 million per unit in 2010 prices.

    Beautiful preparation for a new cut of candy wrappers. And McCain gave a voice so that he would not be forgotten when sharing. Interestingly, the F-35 will bring to mind? or stop there?

                Science does not stand still. 30 years ago, engines with a variable thrust vector were only in projects - however, today it is a familiar attribute of a fighter. They can come up with something interesting, in the coming years, to improve flight performance .. The greatest difficulties, as far as I know, arose with the stabilization of the aircraft in the longitudinal direction, with a change in the center of gravity. Today, this task is being solved much more efficiently than at the time of the creation of B-2.

                  Well, it’s not so ordinary yet that there are three mass-produced cars with such engines, and then only one is available all-aspect. The remaining manufacturers are only threatening.

                  There is no keel, therefore, stability along the sliding angle is also subject to uncontrolled yaw. To overcome this effect, divided resistance wheels are used (in the photo below, at the ends of the wings are opened like books: split-drag rudder), except for this, in principle, there are some pluses for a bomber from a flying wing. hi

              However, its bomb load will be less than that of its predecessors.

              If for the sake of the so-called "invisibility" this parameter decreases, then the idea of ​​a strategic bomber dies along with this technical message.
              Stealth technologies are a bit "purple" for modern air defense systems, but there is silence about the systems of possible use of weapons on this aircraft.
              In my opinion, whatever the latest weapons systems are currently being hung on it, the development of air defense is not asleep in its development. And if this is a "miracle" and takes on board a pair of modern missiles, then this is just a couple and air defense with such a quantity will be much easier to cope with. And in this case, these aircraft must be ordered not 100, but at least 600 in order to fend off the threats of our old men Tu-95MS and Tu-160.
              But soon we will hear about the unique electronics on board and about the network distribution of tasks between aircraft.
              Lord! Even with I.V. Weapons were created for Stalin, which, among other advantages, with an electromagnetic pulse after undermining the nuclear warhead, destroyed the enemy's electronics (except for radio tubes).
              At a recent meeting between Kerry and Lavrov, the first one spoke up about the newest US-made weapon, the railgun. To which Lavrov said that such a weapon was created in Russia a long time ago and on a piece of paper he drew a semblance of a railway track with wagons on it. And he suggested that a similar "railgun" in Russia is called the "Barguzin" BRZhK.

                  PAK YES no one has seen and does not know how he will eventually look. One thing I can say with certainty - he will take on board a large number of weapons, will be able to stay in the air for a long time and will be able to use his weapons outside the air defense zones of the likely enemy.

The Americans are developing the possibility of delivering a first, disarming strike. That's why they need this hundred of first wave planes. borders and deliver the very first strike at our command centers in order to paralyze control and make a breach. Invisibility will still be in the air, and tomahawks and strike aircraft will rush into these breaches. And in a normal war, such targets are extremely inconvenient.

          From the point of view of stealth, the B2 fuselage design can’t be better imagined (without tail unit, the entire fuselage creates lift, and not just the wings, as in the case of a traditional aircraft), so they use this design further.

        The B-2 has twelve corners on the case, for this project 8 counted. The tendency to decrease angles is visible - with time, most likely, the corners will also be cut off from behind - and the concept will come to its logical end - a triangular glider.

      Well, so what, that cut? How much is needed, so much money will be printed. Or US Treasury obligations stamped. And they will be bought.
      Do not forget that the money spent on F-35 (and successfully sawn) is largely due to the infusion of money from the outside into the USA, stolen by elites of other countries from their peoples and hidden from confiscation in the USA. And do not forget about China, at the state level, who bought a pile of damnation accusations. This is more than a trillion dollars.
      That is, all these expenses are actually paid not by ordinary Americans, but by those who will then be bombed by these aircraft.

      How did Lenin say it? Will the capitalists sell us a rope on which we hang them? If my memory serves me right?
      In fact, we have a situation when Planet Earth is buying a new collar for the USA, a strict collar on which the USA is going to keep this planet Earth.

      And what is it that we are so preoccupied with cutting money bills with whales. Indeed, in comparison with domestic sawmills, they are just cooks. Yes, in the process of tenders / competitions for the development and manufacture of new weapons, bribes and everything else are used, but as soon as the competition is won by a company, every dollar spent on the implementation of the order is subject to strict accounting. At the same time, the company's profit margin laid down in the contract is quite modest, somewhere in the 10% region. In a false case, it cannot be compared with 100% or more with the percentage of profit pledged by our companies. So who and how to cut grandmas is a big question. In general, counting other people's money in someone else's pocket is not a borzoi.

      In general, the B-2 concept included invisibility for hunting and destroying stationary objects and launchers "Pioneer" and "Poplar" in Siberia. It is clear that no one would have allowed them to run around there with impunity, just as there was no particular sense in that, because the attack on one "Poplar" inevitably provoked the launch of the rest. Then the Americans themselves realized the fallacy of this concept, but the B-2 had already been stamped. At the moment, it would be more expedient to carry out a massive launch of cruise missiles in order to push through the air defense. An example of this concept is the Tu-95 MS-16, which carries up to 16 cruise missiles. But here is the statement that the bomb load of the B-21 will be reduced for the sake of range, if there are bases around the world ... This is something with something ...

      The bomb load has not increased, what a sorrow, right? A greater load will require an increase in the size of the aircraft, which will complicate the breakthrough of air defense, increase the cost of the aircraft, reduce fuel efficiency ... War is a continuation of the economy, therefore, the cost / efficiency ratio plays a role here. And modernization is now mainly in the field of communication systems, control and guidance of the carrier and ammunition.

    And they obviously succeed and will succeed for a long time! So far, the alternative, unfortunately, has not even been identified.

    There is no alternative yet, because our "effective managers", no less effectively than their foreign colleagues, are engaged in cutting the military budget of the Russian Federation. An example is the suite of Sienko at UVZ with the Armata project. a lot of money was literally buried in the ground (a new building was built for the assembly of the Armata, but during the construction it seems that the building codes were violated (they saved on building materials) - the foundation is leading and the assembly cannot be carried out with high quality. as in the case of the new cosmodrome, it seems that everywhere in the production of complex equipment, where "effective managers" begin to command, similar problems appear - a bloated administrative apparatus with high salaries, etc. sad
    And after the news: “This batch includes more than 20 cars, this is an experimental batch designed to complete the tests of a prototype, to eliminate malfunctions. Then we send them (cars) to the troops to see how they feel there in different climatic conditions. This is about 16-17 years, ”Khalitov said on the air of the RSN radio station.

    Sooner than in 15 years it will not appear, but what during this time our people will come up with only God knows. And what happens in the world, too, no one knows.

    They support their defense, no more. And the more expensive and useless the project, the better. So it works for them. The funny thing is that the same parameters are not noticeable as their slels, our defense reaches a special primer before painting. Adds base metal primers nano-balls, different in diameter and chemical composition. Multiple re-reflection between them scatters the reflected signal. Cheap and cheerful.

    It seems to be so, but the question is, where do the fantastic amounts of development come from, which are sometimes an order of magnitude higher than Russian ones?


    In the USA, there is a private stanza of a private Fed banker’s shop that prints world money - dollars! Their main consumer is the United States, primarily the Pentagon!
    Until 1973, the dollar was secured by gold, now no. Then why is it still used and what is this world currency provided for today?
    In the first place, the military power of the United States, for this reason, and take! Whoever doesn’t want to give his goods for this painted paper is a terrorist and an enemy of democracy, which the Pentagon and Co. deal with, respectively, and the fattest pieces of the budget.
    Of course you cannot hold a dollar on bayonets. The media controlled by the Fed creates an image of the most stable and reliable world currency, and therefore expensive, to the dollar, and this is to the detriment of the “own” (in quotation marks because the Fed is a private banking shop, the cartel does not have a direct relationship to the state) economy.
    As a result, the surplus value of products produced in the states, both intellectual and material, is 10 more than ours!
    While the United States was in a state of cold war with the USSR, such a state of affairs in which states dressed up as a showcase of the free world and a defender of freedom and democracy was beneficial for the Fed.
    With a victory over the USSR, this showcase, having made its own advertising business, collapses ...

    Interestingly, although B-2 is an old project, it has been since
    many different developments in "stealth" technologies, shape
    B-2 is actually recognized as optimal.
    Of course, the materials will be changed. Since the time of B-2 there are many
    new. And radar, electronics, software.

    Not tired of slogans about US foreign debt? The collapse of the United States due to debt from the 1970s is promised to us, and where is it?

    USA as Koschey the Immortal, who has power in the needle. The United States has power in the dollar needle that the global economy sits on. You do not read the news? Not even China and Russia are trying this needle, but countries with a geopolitical caliber are much smaller, gradually converting calculations into local currencies. It was impossible to think about this in the 70s and 80s. The cracking of the dollar hegemony system is gradually and inevitably occurring because it is not economically profitable for anyone (except the United States, of course). The war in Syria, by the way, to a large extent exists as one of the components of the attempt to stabilize the petrodollar.
