The Air Force confirmed its newest stealth bomber made a test flight on Wednesday. As it did, a London-based thinktank assessed potential Pacific bases for the Raider.

The testing facilities have been used to help engineers develop China’s newest civil aircraft, the C919.

The B-21 Raider was developed to be the multifunctional backbone of the modernized bomber fleet, gradually replacing the aging B-1 Lancer and B-2 Spirit bombers now in service.

The U.S. Air Force needs as many B-21 Raider stealth bombers as possible. However, building a lot of them quickly won't be an easy task. 

Commentary on the B-21 remains largely confined to the realm of speculation. After all, the warbird remains shrouded in secrecy. Still, it’s not too soon to start ruminating about its development, how the U.S. Air Force might use it, and what dwellers in the wretched hive of scum and villainy might do to blunt its impact.

The Air Force’s newest bomber, the B-21 “Raider,” is being built around the most sophisticated and easily maintained stealth technology ever developed. The kit and capabilities inside the jet will allow the US to hold virtually any conventional or nuclear target in the world at risk.

The greatest threat to the United States military may not be near-peer adversaries such as Russia and China – rather, it could be the rising cost of the latest military hardware like the B-21 Raider and F-15EX. 

Fortunately, ejection seats saved all four crew members lives 

A former Lockheed Martin Skunk Works executive says the Pentagon’s desire for long-range hypersonic missiles simply costs too much.

Since the aircraft's unveiling, numerous reports have claimed that the B-21 Raider could have a radar signature as small as an "insect."
