In recent years, many rumors have spread about the stealth plane, and the new strategic bomber of the US Army – B-21 Raider. The plane, which was developed under absolute secrecy by the super-concern Northrop Grumman, began to be produced in 2015, when at the initial stage it was decided to produce about a hundred units from it.
Very little is known about the plane, and according to the “Al-Arabiya” network, the department at Northrop Graham that is responsible for the production of the plane, has so far produced only six units. This Friday, the aircraft will be publicly displayed at the concern’s military production facility in Palmdale, California. According to the details that are known, only one unit of the stealthy and advanced aircraft cost about 550 million dollars until recently, when the price can also reach an astronomical price of a billion dollars. The B-21 is smaller than the B-2, which was created 30 years ago, but has more advanced capabilities.
Most of the focus during the design and production stages was to keep the aircraft crew alive and away from any possible danger. This, “when the potential adversaries of the United States are developing and deploying advanced and new air defense systems each time,” says a source familiar with the details. Thus, “the plane is able to contain larger payloads of conventional and nuclear bombs.” According to other reports, the plane can penetrate defense systems Advanced aerial, just like the B-2 that has been in use by the US Air Force for 30 years.
