Скачать или смотреть B-21 Raider: Why the Pentagon Wants 45 MORE of America's Deadliest Stealth Bomber

The Pentagon wants to increase the B-21 Raider fleet by 45 aircraft - from 100 to 145. But why? In this deep dive, we reveal how this sixth-generation stealth bomber is fundamentally changing military strategy and why generals believe America needs more of them than originally planned.

The B-21 Raider isn't just another bomber - it's a revolutionary platform that combines unprecedented stealth, extreme range, and multi-mission capabilities that no other aircraft can match. Despite being smaller than the B-2 Spirit, the Raider is actually MORE capable, with superior fuel efficiency, advanced radar-absorbent materials, and the ability to penetrate the world's most sophisticated air defense systems.

💡 WHY THIS MATTERS:
The B-21 Raider represents America's answer to rising global tensions and advanced enemy air defenses. With the ability to hold targets at risk anywhere on the globe while remaining virtually undetectable, this bomber is reshaping how military planners think about deterrence and power projection.

U.S. Strategic Command's General Anthony Cotton has publicly called for expanding the fleet from 100 to 145 aircraft, citing changes in the geopolitical environment. This isn't just about having more bombers - it's about maintaining strategic advantage in an increasingly contested world.

🔥 WHAT MAKES THE B-21 SPECIAL:
• Advanced stealth technology superior to any previous aircraft
• Extreme range with unprecedented fuel efficiency
• Open systems architecture for continuous upgrades
• Multi-domain operations: Electronic warfare, ISR, networking
• Designed to remain relevant for 50+ years
• On schedule and within budget (rare for defense programs)

📍 FIRST OPERATIONAL BASE:
Ellsworth Air Force Base, South Dakota - Expected operational around 2027
